2. Equine gastric ulcer syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_gastric_ulcer_syndrome

   Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is a common cause of colic and decreased performance in horses. Horses form ulcers in the mucosa of the stomach, leading to pain, decreased appetite, weight loss, and behavioral changes. Treatment generally involves reducing acid production of the stomach and dietary management.

3. Horse colic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_colic

   Gastroscopy, or endoscopic evaluation of the stomach, is useful in chronic cases of colic suspected to be caused by gastric ulcers, gastric impactions, and gastric masses. [42] A 3-meter scope is required to visualize the stomach of most horses, and the horse must be fasted prior to scoping.

5. Equine proximal enteritis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_proximal_enteritis

   After gastric decompression, the horse may show signs of malaise and act lethargic, but pain level usually improves. [2] Abdominocentesis usually reveals a yellow, turbid fluid with an increased white blood cell count (usually 5,000–10,000 cells/microliter) and protein level (>3.5 g/dl), [2] although the fluid may be serosanginous in severe ...

6. Theiler's disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theiler's_disease

   The most current theory is a result of a recent study that suggests it is caused by a pegivirus, referred to as Theiler's disease-associated virus (TDAV). [2] Eight horses that had received prophylactic botulinum antitoxin and developed subsequent signs of Theiler's disease were subjected to a test for a viral infection based on RNA sequencing techniques.

7. Gastrointestinal perforation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_perforation

   Extension of the ulcer through the lining of the digestive tract results in spillage of the stomach or intestinal contents into the abdominal cavity, leading to an acute chemical peritonitis. [13] [14] Helicobacter pylori infection and overuse of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [15] [16] may contribute to formation of peptic ulcers.

8. Boas' sign - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boas'_sign

   Boas' sign can also indicate stomach and duodenal disease. When the transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae T10-T12 are pressed or effleuraged with the bottom of the hand, pain can appear at the left of spinous processes (in stomach's lesser curvature ulcer) or at the right (in pyloric or duodenal ulcer). [7]

9. Treatment of equine lameness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treatment_of_equine_lameness

   Horses are often unpredictable when on prolonged stall rest, which greatly increases the risk of re-injury when hand-walking is begun. Sedation or additional forms of restraint may be needed to help control the horse during this initial period of increased exercise intensity. [ 7 ]
