Ryan AF, Rainey JW.THE disease that forms the subject of this
paper was first described by one of us in 1944
( Rainey, 1944 ).
Observation by us since then. separately
and in consnltation, of ,further calses of t'his
disease has enabled us to correct -0y amplify
the original description. For instance, ye know
now that although young horses have constituted
the bulk of the cases seen by us, old animals
may also suffer. We observed recently an
acute case in a seventeen-year-old gelding.
In our experience only heavy or half-bred
horses have been affected j we have observed
no case among horses of the t... The treatment of equine colic.

Volume 72, Issue 2 45-50 doi: 10.1111/j.1751-0813.1995.tb15328.x
Raidal SL, Love DN, Bailey GD.Confinement of horses with their heads elevated for periods up to 24 hours was used to evaluate the extent and the effects of bacterial contamination of the equine lower respiratory tract. Significant (P < 0.05) increases in bacterial numbers (up to 10(9) colony forming units/mL in transtracheal aspirate derived samples) occurred within 6 or 12 hours in most horses. Pasteurella/Actinobacillus spp and Streptococcus spp were most commonly isolated. Lowering of the head for 30 minutes every 6 hours to facilitate postural drainage did not prevent multiplication of organisms to levels equivalent... Read More

Volume 72, Issue 11 418-420 doi: 10.1111/j.1751-0813.1995.tb06192.x
Hurley JR, Begg AP.A trial was conducted on a Thoroughbred stud to determine whether or not the administration of anti-Rhodococcus equi hyperimmune plasma would reduce the prevalence of R equi pneumonia (rattles) in foals born in the 1992 horse breeding season. Hyperimmune plasma was administered to 34 foals; another 57 foals were untreated. There was no significant difference in the number of transfused foals developing R equi pneumonia compared with the untreated foals. The time required for recovery from pneumonia between the 2 groups was not significantly different. Read More

Approximately 53% of animals with clinical hyphomycosis were cured after vaccination, while a further 33% clinically improved. All horses with hyphomycosis treated within 2 weeks of unsuccessful surgery were cured. There was no response to vaccination with a Hyphomyces preparation in horses with basidiobolomyucosis, while surgery alone resulted in ... Read More
