Plain-English summary
This case discusses a situation where a mare had a prolapsed uterus, which means her uterus had moved out of its normal position. The study explains the methods used to carefully put the uterus back in place and how to avoid serious problems that can happen afterward, like shock, laminitis (a painful hoof condition), and metritis (inflammation of the uterus). The techniques were successful in treating the mare's condition.
