Gastroenterostomy was performed in 14 foals to treat gastric outflow obstruction caused by advanced gastroduodenal ulcer disease. The onset of excessive salivation and teeth grinding, without response to medical treatment, combined with endoscopic and radiographic evidence of gastric outflow obstruction, were indications for surgical intervention. Successful outcome in 5 foals was attributed to early diagnosis, patient stabilization, early surgical correction, and postoperative management including antibiotics and antiulcer medication. 相似文献

The medical records of 20 neonatal foals in which exploratory celiotomies were performed for gastrointestinal disease were reviewed. In all 20 foals, persistent pain and/or progressive abdominal distension were the primary clinical findings influencing the decision to operate. However, ancilliary laboratory data were important to the proper medical management of these foals during anaesthesia and following surgery. Surgical diagnoses of the 20 foals included ileus (nine foals; 45 per cent), small colon obstruction (five foals; 25 per cent), large colon displacement (three foals; 15 per cent), small intestinal displacement (two foals; 10 per cent), and perforated gastric ulcer (one foal; 5 per cent). Seventeen foals were recovered from anaesthesia, 13 of these were discharged from the hospital, seven were alive six months or more following discharge. Sepsis was the cause of death in six of the 10 foals that died following recovery. 相似文献

Abdominal surgery in foals under 30 days old has become more common with improved neonatal care. Early recognition of a foal at risk and better nursing care have increased the survival rates of foals that require neonatal care. The success of improved neonatal care also has increased the need for accurate diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal, umbilical, and bladder disorders in these foals. This chapter focuses on the early and accurate diagnosis of specific disorders that require abdominal exploratory surgery and the specific treatment considerations and prognosis for these disorders. 相似文献

Upper GI endoscopy is a frequently performed endoscopic procedure that is particularly suited for the diagnosis of upper GI diseases with a luminal or mucosal location. Contraindications are few and complications are rare. Procedures that can be performed during upper GI endoscopy include mucosal biopsy, brush cytology, aspiration of duodenal fluid for culture and cytology, foreign body retrieval, bougienage of strictures, and endoscopic placement of gastrostomy tubes. Unresolved issues that face veterinary endoscopists include the interrelationship between contrast radiology and endoscopy, the advisability of routine combination of upper and lower GI endoscopy, the reasons for discordance among clinical signs, endoscopic appearance, and biopsy findings, and the role of post-treatment biopsies. 相似文献

Upper airway obstruction may result from nasal, pharyngeal, or tracheal diseases. In the young horse, a relatively severe obstruction usually is present before clinical signs are evident. This article reviews the clinical manifestations, diagnostic features, treatment, and outcome of commonly encountered conditions of the nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, and trachea in young horses. 相似文献

Neonates can have a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, primary and secondary in nature. Important primary disorders include con-genital abnormalities and meconium retention. One of the most important secondary lesions is generalized ileus. Gastric ulceration can occur as a primary or secondary event. This article addresses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of gastrointestinal problems commonly observed in neonatal foals. 相似文献

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), a regulatory amine of mucosal enterochromaffin cells plays an important role in the control of gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction and epithelial secretion. Serotonin has also been associated with gastric ulcers, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. In spite of the high incidence of these gastrointestinal disorders in newborn foals and adult horses, no data are available regarding 5-HT immunoreactive cells (i.c.) in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of foals, and for adult horses, data are incomplete and contradictory. In this study, the distribution and relative frequency of 5-HT i.c. in the GIT of newborn foals and adult horses were determined immunohistochemically. In foals as in adults, a relatively large number of 5-HT i.c. were detected in all portions of the GIT. In foals, a significantly higher amount of cells was found in the pyloric region and margo plicatus of the stomach, as well as in the caecum and colon ascendens compared with adults. Our results provided rationale for further research concerning the role of 5-HT i.c. during the milk diet or in the regulation of gastrointestinal growth/cell proliferation, and in the pathogenesis of gastric ulcers, especially in newborn foals. 相似文献

Extract The annual yield of lambs from a breeding flock is usually the major factor determining the success of a sheep farm. It is therefore surprising to find how many flocks are apparently reproclucing at a rate far below their genetic potential. There are many points at which the complicated and extended process of reproduction can be clistubed. Limiting factors fall into three main classes, (a) genetic limitations, (b) infective processes, (c) environmental factors (seasonal changes, environmental stresses and nutrition). At present knowledge of these influences is far from complete but it is most encouraging that research is being undertaken in many countries and progress is rapid. There is no reason to doubt that notable improvement could be made in many districts, but it must be stressed that it is difficult or even impossible to exploit all favourable influences; for example, the best time for mating may imply an unfavourable time for lambing or weaning; or market considerations may override physiological desiderata. It is obvious that in each district the pros and cons must be carefully weighed to select the most profitable combination of husbandry procedures; this can be clone rationally only on the basis of a great deal of knowledge. 相似文献

Background: Increased synovial fibrinolytic activity (detected by increases in synovial D‐Dimer concentrations) has been observed in different joint diseases in humans and adult horses, presumably in order to minimize fibrin deposition within the joint and thus avoid its detrimental effects. Objective: To investigate fibrinolytic pathway activation in joint sepsis in foals by measuring synovial D‐Dimer concentrations. Animals: Eighteen septic foals with septic joints, 9 septic foals without septic joints, 9 systemically healthy foals with septic joint, and 3 controls are included. Methods: Prospective observational clinical study of foals admitted for septic arthritis. Synovial D‐Dimer concentration and routine synovial fluid analysis were performed. Diagnosis of joint sepsis was made whenever synovial total nucleated cell count was >30,000 cells/μL, synovial total protein >4 g/dL, and neutrophil percentage of >80%, or synovial fluid culture resulted positive. Results were compared among groups by general lineal models. Results: Synovial D‐Dimer concentration was significantly (P < .001) higher in the foals with septic joints compared with foals without joint disease (P < .001). Conclusions and Clinical Importance: Septic joint disease is associated with a marked increase of synovial D‐Dimer concentration (marked activation of the fibrinolytic activity) within the affected joint. Although further studies are needed, the measurement of synovial D‐Dimer concentration may be considered a complementary diagnostic marker of septic joint disease. 相似文献

A brief discussion of those aspects of neonatal physiology that pertain to anesthetic risk and selection of anesthetic techniques is followed by discussion of suggested techniques for anesthetic management in healthy foals. Preoperative preparation and management of foals with selected serious surgical conditions are also considered. 相似文献

Perioperative use of antimicrobial drugs constitutes extra-label use of those drugs. Principles of therapeutic and prophylactic use of antimicrobial drugs can guide decisions about their perioperative use. Regimens currently suggested are based on those principles, theoretical information, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data, extrapolation from studies with other species, empirical data, personal bias, and experience. Controlled clinical investigations are necessary to provide objective data from which specific recommendations can be derived. 相似文献
