Summary

Proximal enteritis in two yearlings presented with gastric fluid accumulation and lack of treatment response. Postmortem examination revealed chronic active duodenitis and stricture, but the cause remained unidentified.

Area of Science:

  • Equine medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Proximal enteritis is a significant concern in equine health.
  • Early diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for managing equine gastrointestinal diseases.

Observation:

  • Two Standard-bred yearlings from the same farm exhibited clinical signs consistent with proximal enteritis.
  • Repeated gastric decompression yielded large fluid volumes, indicating significant obstruction or dysfunction.
  • The affected horses were unresponsive to standard treatments including intravenous fluids, antimicrobials, cimetidine, and metoclopramide.

Findings:

  • Postmortem examination confirmed severe, focal, chronic active duodenitis.
  • Evidence of stricture formation in the duodenum was a key pathological finding.

  • Despite thorough examination, the specific etiologic agent responsible for the duodenitis was not identified.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for severe, treatment-refractory proximal enteritis in young horses.
    • The findings underscore the importance of considering chronic active duodenitis with stricture in differential diagnoses for equine gastric distension.
    • Further research may be needed to elucidate the causes of idiopathic chronic active duodenitis in horses.
