Abstract

A mare was presented with anamnesis of failing to expel foetal membrane after eight hours following normal foaling and gestation length. Clinical examination revealed terry colour shreds of foetal membrane hanging from ventral vulval lips. Mare was treated by traditional method of manual removal of placenta since therapeutic management failed to expel it. Mare recovered after routine care for five days uneventfully.
