- Hydropsical conditions in domestic animals involve abnormal fluid buildup, often linked to issues like placentitis or fetal abnormalities, and can pose a medical emergency for pregnant mares.
- A case study featured a 9-year-old Quarter mare with hydroallantois at 271 days of gestation, resulting in the birth of a non-viable foal with severe congenital defects.
- The situation required swift medical intervention, which included fluid drainage and pregnancy termination, ultimately highlighting the necessity for early diagnosis and management of such conditions in horses.
