Rectovaginal Tear

During the birthing process, the foal’s feet usually come through the birth canal first. Occasionally one of the foal’s feet can tear through the top of the vagina and into the rectum. If the foot does not retract back into the vagina before delivery of the foal, the tear extends completely to the exterior.
