Q

4 causes of overally large mare

A

1) feeding as if pregnant mare but not, just fat
2) ventral oedema due to foetus squashing lymphatics
3) ruptured pre-pubic tendon due to weight of foetus

Q

large mare

colic signs
dyspnoea
recumbent

+/- deformed foal

tx: induce foaling (+ remove foal) or abortion so can dilate cervix and drain fluid
+ IV fluids to maintain BP

which cause of overally large mare?

A

hydrops allantois (sudden)

hydrops hydramnios (more fluid than usual)

Q

mare

premature udder development + lactation
some vaginal discharge

US: placental thickening

cause?
tx?
affects which horses?

A

pre parturient mares

placentitis

tx: potentiated sulphonamides + bute

24
Q

pregnant mare

vaginal bleeding small amounts

cause?

A

varicose veins

usually non tx

25
which drug can you use to stimulate foal breathing after parturition?
doxapram
26
if a complete uterine rupture or tear occurs in a pregnant mare, what happens?
foal may fall into abdomen mare fatally haemorrhage peritonitis and fatal endotoxaemia > extract foal and euthanise mare
27
if a mare has a third degree perineal laceration, what should you do?
(vagina/ vulva and rectum comminicate) do not suture up >> will break down and trap infection delay surgery 4-6 weeks until granulated tissue present
28
if cervical laceration needs repair, when should you do it?
delay repair until after uterine involution
29
mare post partum mild to moderate colics with no signs of endotoxaemia ddx? tx?
uterine cramps | resolves with buscopan or phenylbutazone
30
post partum mare colic returning despite analagesia may lead to uterine prolapse if not tx ddx? tx
inversion of uterine horn buscopan/ clenbuterol to relax spasms manual replacement + uterine lavage
31
post partum mare (old) mild- mod colic signs>> then shock ddx? tx?
uterine artery rupture sedate + analgesia IV fluids and blood transfusion clotting agents
32
prognosis for a uterus or rectal prolapse?
poor, usually bad damage to blood supply clean uterus and replace under epidural give oxytocin once replaced broad spectrum ABs and NSAIDs
33
retained placenta over ? hours is abnormal? which br susceptible
4 hours heavy horses
34
tx for retained foetal membranes?
oxytocin + flunixin cannot leave >> metritis> endotoxaemia>> severe lamnitis and death
35
is manual traction on rfm advised?
sometimes gentle traction on allantois (red bag)
36
mare, muscle fasiculations, recumbency, diaphragmatic flutter rare in horses, but what is it?
hypocalcaemia
37
what is pneumovagina and how is it treated?
air in vagina | corrected by caslicks
38
what is the caslick procedure?
improve vulvar competence - suture over vagina remove sutures 10-14 days later
39
what is gadds procedure used for?
used to reconstruct vagina after second degree perianal lacerations or in older mares with loss of perineal body/ straight vestibule
40
what is urovagina and how tx? what is it important to rule out in young fillies
urine pooling in vagina urehtral extension caudal relocation of transverse fold ectopic ureter
41
how would you diagnose cervical lacerations and how treat?
thumb in cervix and palpate all way round with fingers wait for dioestrus >3 wks post partum stay sutures with 3 layer closure
42
delayed uterine clearance due to post mating persistent endometritis how tx?
uterine suspension to restore normal horizontal orientation of uterine horns
43
ovulation but no embyro or oocyte in uterus? ddx? tx?
oviduct blockage prostaglandin to relax smooth muscle of oviduct and modulate oviductal transport
44
which degree perineal laceration is this? mucosal damage caslick/ no surgery required
first degree
45
which degree perineal laceration is this? mucosa, submucosa and perineal muscles lacerated caslicks procedure and reconstruction of perineal body
2nd degree
46
which degree perineal laceration is this? complete disruption of rectobulbular shelf, perineal body and anuma requires surgical repair but delayed for 4-6 weeks as will be too inflamed and will break down
3rd degree often caused by foals foot
47
penetration of foals foot into rectum without 3rd degree perineal laceration or unsuccessful repair of 3rd degree lacerations can lead to what?
rectovestibular fistula
48
an-oestrus/ continual oestrus behaviour in mare stallion like behaviour enlarged ovary on rectal exam increased testosterone, inhibin and Anti mullerian hormone ddx? tx?
Granulosa cell tumour (GCT) most common neoplastic disorder of the ovaries ovariectomy via laparoscopy under GA or Colpotomy= blind extraction
49
what is a red bag delivery?
placenta prematurely detached from uterus during birth and foetus is no longer supported
50
mare straining to deliver, | when should foal be out by
max 30 mins
51
gestation for a horse
11-12 months
52
what is 'rigs' in horses should be suspected in stallion like behaviour without palpable testis
cryptochidism tx removal testicle
53
most common penile neoplasia?
SCC
54
common neoplasias of penile shaft?
melanomas and sarcoids
55
vinsots, williams and scotts are surgical methods of what?
phallectomy - penile amputation
56
external infetion, cystitis and epididymitis and seminal vesiculitis can all cause what?
pyospermia
