Abstract
Delivering high quality and appropriate care to patients is central to the role of the registered veterinary nurse (RVN). With the recent changes to the regulation of all RVNs, awareness of responsibility to care for patients to an extremely high standard is required. Horses are different to small animals as they are only designed to carry and produce one offspring at a time. For this reason equine specific knowledge is required for any RVN wanting to nurse mares during and after parturition. This article will discuss the evidence-based information available for uterine torsion, fetal maldispositions and retained fetal membranes in the mare. The incidence, aetiology and pathophysiology will be discussed as well as the general and condition-specific nursing interventions.
