| Abstract: | Chyloperitoneum is a potential cause of colic in horses. Although rare in horses, chyloperitoneum can develop secondary to tearing of mesenteric adhesions and rupture of mesenteric lymphatic vessels. The prognosis for horses with chyloperitoneum depends on the underlying cause and the response to treatment. |
