Caslicks is not required at any track. It is down because the mare will run better if they are not sucking
wind. We did it on almost all of the fillies that we ran. Vet uses a little lidocaine, opens the tissue and
sews closed. We have used super glue temporary, as well as duct. Yet another use for the wonder tape.
The procedure only closes the upper portion of the vulva aprox1-2 inches. It is opened at the time of
breeding and re sewn after conception. We generally reopen aprox
two weeks before foaling.
