Topic:Treatment
Treatments for horses encompasses a range of medical and therapeutic interventions aimed at maintaining or restoring equine health. This field involves the use of pharmaceuticals, surgical procedures, and alternative therapies to address various conditions affecting horses. Common treatments include the administration of anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and vaccines, as well as physical therapies and nutritional management. Research in this area focuses on evaluating the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of different treatment modalities. This page collects peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methods, advancements, and clinical outcomes associated with equine treatment practices.
Toxic shock syndrome in a horse with Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia. A 3-year-old Thoroughbred gelding was examined because of clinical signs of pneumonia and shock. Mucous membrane petechiation and ventral edema were observed and considered to be a result of vasculitis. Epidermal necrosis developed on the distal portions of the limbs. The horse had a persistent high fever that was unresponsive to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory treatment, and Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from a nasal swab specimen and 2 transtracheal wash fluid samples. Antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and supportive treatment resulted in clinical improvement. However, resolution of the ...
Modified technique for the repair of third-degree rectovaginal lacerations in mares. Eight mares with third-degree rectovestibular lacerations were treated by a two-stage surgical technique. The rectovestibular shelf was corrected with three parallel 'circular' continuous suture rows distributed along the longitudinal axis of the vagina, and the perineal body was reconstructed with three divergent simple continuous rows. Primary healing of the first-stage surgery occurred in all the mares. Seven of the mares completed the two-stage surgery and primary healing occurred in all of them. One of them returned to endurance racing competition and one was lost to follow-up. The other ...
Medical induction of maternal behavior in nurse mares and foal-rejecting mares undergoing foal grafting: a retrospective study of 140 cases. Medical induction of maternal behavior can be a safer and less stressful way to introduce orphan foals to nurse mares, compared with traditional methods that are time consuming and require restraint of the mare. Published data on results of medical treatment in a large number of mares are lacking. Objective: Describe a hormone-based protocol for foal grafting, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, dinoprost tromethamine, and oxytocin, and to report treatment outcome. Methods: A total of 113 nurse mares and 27 mares that had rejected their foals. Methods: Retrospective case series. Ca...
