Yes, a C-section can be performed on a mare if necessary, typically in cases of dystocia or when the foal is in distress and cannot be delivered vaginally. The procedure, known as a cesarean section, is more complex in horses than in some other animals due to their anatomy and the size of the foal. It requires skilled veterinary intervention and is usually performed under general anesthesia. Success depends on the timing of the surgery and the overall health of the mare and foal.

How do you do a cesarean section on a horse?

A cesarean section on a horse, or "c-section," is a complex surgical procedure typically performed by a veterinarian when a foal is in distress or cannot be delivered naturally. The procedure involves sedating the mare, administering local anesthesia, and making a careful incision in the abdominal wall to access the uterus. The vet then extracts the foal, assesses its condition, and sutures the uterus and abdominal wall back together. This surgery requires specialized skills and is usually performed in emergency situations.

When giving birth by c-section do you have to be fully dialated?

No, you do not have to be fully dilated to have a cesarean section (c-section). C-sections can be performed for various reasons, including the baby being in a breech position, fetal distress, or labor not progressing, regardless of the dilation stage. The decision for a c-section is based on the health and safety of both the mother and the baby.

How many people can watch while your c-section is done?

When I had my babies, they let me have one person in the operating room when they did my c-section. It's not like a vaginal delivery, which takes place in a birthing room. A C-section is a surgery and is performed in a sterile operating room, which is why they can't let several people in.
