Importance of Late-Stage Equine Ultrasounds
Experts at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) Equine Reproduction Service emphasize the need for late-gestation ultrasounds on pregnant mares to detect potential complications.
Veterinarians should recommend late-gestation ultrasounds to equine-owning clients to identify issues such as foal malpresentation and placentitis, according to UC Davis specialists.
Catherine Renaudin, DVM, DECAR, notes that "In many cases, no further examinations are performed until foaling,"
This highlights the importance of conducting additional examinations during late gestation to ensure a healthy foaling process.
