Yes and no
|
|
|
What is the clinical significance of the equine clitoris?
|
Need to know
It is large (that whole center thing) - and it has these clitoral sinuses, because the organism that causes equine contagious metritus can hide out in here |

2 Bladder 3 Urethra 4 Suburethral diverticulum 5 Vulva |
|
What is a caslick's procedure?
|
Caslick’s procedure in a horse – vulvar lips can open and pull apart and they can wind suck. A horse can wind suck from the oral end, or the vulvar end which would give an introduction of bacteria. You can remove mucosa from the dorsal end of the vulva and is then sutured together. You leave the ventral part open.

|
Most pregnancies occur in the left uterine horn
I don't remember why. |

How does the equine uterus change in pregnancy?
|
Thusly
|
|
|
Compare and contrast the ampulla and isthmus lengths of the mare and cow.
