Did you know? A mares placenta should be passed within a few hours of foaling! We recently treated a mare with a placenta that was contained (>3 hours). this is an emergency and should never be ignored! A retained placenta can increase the risk of serious complications such as uterus infection, laminitis and endotoxemia.

The golden rule: if your mare has foaled and you haven’t seen the placenta (or it’s still ‘hanging out’) after three hours: call the vet!

Never pull the placenta yourself- this could lead to serious complications and bleeding.
