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

Ready for Surgery

As the police officers assisted the vet in preparing Felicia for surgery, they administered additional sedatives. This time, sedating the already-calm horse was relatively straightforward, though it remained a traumatic experience for Ben, who watched anxiously from the sidelines. His mind raced with worry—would his beloved mare survive the procedure, and would her foal make it through as well? Before he could get answers, the police approached him

“Sir, we need to ask you a few questions now that Felicia is sedated,” they said. As the vet worked to save the horse, Ben found himself being interrogated by the officers. They pressed him for details, their questions urgent and direct. Ben’s heart sank as he tried to focus on their words, his thoughts constantly drifting back to Felicia. Could she pull through this ordeal? And what about the foal—was there still hope? The tension in the room was palpable, leaving Ben torn between his concern for his horse and the demands of the police.
