This Vet Had to Call the Cops After an Equine Birth Like No Other

Weighing up the Options

The vet presented Ben with two options to sedate Felicia, each carrying its own risks and benefits. The first option involved Ben assisting the vet in administering a lower dose of sedation from Felicia’s side. While this method allowed for closer monitoring, it also increased the chance that Felicia might panic and potentially harm herself or the vet. On the other hand, the second option was to administer a heavier dose from a safer distance

This approach reduced the immediate risk of injury but came with the challenge of achieving an accurate shot. Could Ben really trust the odds of a perfect hit from farther away?

Both choices weighed heavily on Ben’s shoulders, leaving him torn. He knew that Felicia’s safety—and the vet’s—depended on his decision. Would the closer, more controlled method be worth the risk of a sudden reaction? Or was the safer distance the better choice, even if it meant less precision? As Ben weighed the pros and cons, he couldn’t help but feel the pressure of making the right call for everyone involved.
