TraumaticVentral Herniation in Foals as a Complication of Dystocia
نویسندگان
چکیده
dominal wall, known as ventral hernias, often result from previous surgery (e.g., ventral midline celiotomy, umbilical herniorrhaphy) or from trauma.1–7 Although acute dehiscence after abdominal surgery or intestinal incarceration requires immediate surgical attention, ventral hernias tend to develop slowly in most affected horses, and 2 to 3 months are usually allowed to elapse before surgical correction of the condition is attempted.1,8 This delay allows fibrous tissue to form at the hernial ring, thereby increasing the likelihood that closure will be successful.9 In patients with acute dehiscence after abdominal surgery or intestinal incarceration, suture herniorrhaphy is possible only when there is minimal tension on the suture line.5 Placement of synthetic mesh may be necessary to augment and strengthen the repair,10 which may be guided by laparoscopy.11 “Closed” trauma–induced herniation is most common secondary to kicking, jumping, straining associated with parturition, hydrallantois, or excessive edema of the ventral abdomen.1,7,9 If immediate intervention is not necessary, surgical correction is delayed for months. In contrast, herniation in foals is generally congenital, with the most commonly affected sites being the inguinal canal and the umbilicus.

Effects of dystocia on blood gas parameters, acid-base balance and serum lactate concentration in heavy draft newborn foals
Dystocia is often lethal for neonatal foals; however, its clinicopathological features remain largely unknown. We investigated the effect of dystocia on the foal blood profile. Venous blood samples were collected from 35 foals (5 Percheron and 30 crossbreds between Percheron, Belgian, and Breton heavy draft horses) at 0 hr, 1 hr, 12 hr and 1 day after birth. Dystocia was defined as prolonged la...

Rupture of the Gastrocnemius Muscle in Neonatal Thoroughbred Foals: A Report of Three Cases
Rupture of the gastrocnemius muscle is occasionally found in neonatal foals associated with dystocia and assisted delivery. In this report, 3 cases of gastrocnemius muscle disruption in newborn Thoroughbred foals (6, 5 and 2 days old) are reported. In all cases, the foals were presented with inability to rise unassisted postpartum, a dropped tarsus and swelling in the caudal aspect of the thigh...
