The day after the surgery, in an attempt to stand up, the mare slipped and, during this episode, the bowel content re-herniated through the pelvic diaphragm on the left side (Figure 5). The hernia content apparently passed just below some of the distal sutures, therefore, it was decided to have the mare undergo a second surgery.
