bypass, typhlotomy, sytemic overhydration as tx
1.7 - 5%, doughy,
cecal impaction
occurs at any age but common sa middle aged horse
cecal impaction
common in < 3 yrs, tx: ventral midline celiotomy
ileum. affected
cecocolic intu
accumulation of infesta in LC lumen, pelvic flexure, low water intake
medical is better and longer in long term than surgical
large colon impaction
rectal: firm and viscous, hand walk, tx psyllim hydrophiic muciloid,, sx: v md celiotomy
sand impaction
dz where u should not give dss
sand impaction
mineral conc in LC
enterolithiasis
2 types of large colon displacement
left dorsal displacement
right dorsal displacement
tx is colopexy?
large colon displacement
LDD organs
nephrospleenic = kidney plus spleen
RDD organs
cecum + right body wall
horizontal taut band plus diagonal
RDD
common in older horses?
large colon volvulus
tightly distended?
lcv
what floats on lcv
ventral colon floats on dorsal
ancillary diagnosis
inTRAoperative
guarded to poor prognosis
LCV
2 dz of small colon
small colon impaction
colonic ulcer + right dorsal colitis
horses predisposed to SCI?
ponies
low access to water
“tubular”
salmonellosis
MEDICAL > sx
SCI
tx for colonic ulcer + right dorsal colitis pero siguro for ulcer lang
tx for RDC
gastroscopy
freq feeding
no hay
sucralfate, flavor h2o, electrolytes
age for colic
foal: meconium impaction, strangulating umbilicus, hernia, ascarid impaction
age for strangulating lipoma
> 14 yrs
sex for colic
uterine torsion of large colon volvulus in mares
Inguinal hernia in stallions
breed for colic
nephrosplenic entrapment in large horses
Small colon impaction in miniature horses
result to severe pain due to obstruction in the abdominal walls
simple gas colic
high RR in colic associated with?
may cause?
cyanosis
acidosis
“the higher the pulse rate, the worse the lesion and prognosis” t or f
t
heart or pulse rate: ondicator of severity but not usually helpful in making a diagnosis
t
normal MM/crt?
Normally pink with CRT of 1-2 seconds
> 3 cardiovascular compromised = shock
Done on both sides along the caudal border of the rib cage from paralumbar fossa to ventral abdomen
Auscultation
indicates abnormal bowel motility
absence suggests absence of motility
Stronger sound in??
left flank?
right flank?
What to look for?
Borborygmi
sa left dorsal and left ventral colon
Left flank: Crumpling paper, bubbles
Right: dripping water sound
increased sound?: inflammation problem
Reduced sound volume: possible feed impaction
High pitch = gas?
Increased volume: impaction
