Management of the Referral Colic Patient

چکیده
Small intestine can be obstructed by mechanical obstructions (strangulations, intraluminal masses) and functional obstructions (proximal enteritis, anterior enteritisi, duodenitis-jejunitis). Despite some differences between proximal enteritis and surgical diseases of the small intestine, there is no single distinguishing feature. Borborygmi are usually diminished or absent in all small intestinal diseases. Abdominal distention is negligible or mild in adult horses with small intestinal obstruction, but can be pronounced in foals.
