Summary

A Lusitanian stallion experienced abdominal pain due to an inguinal hernia. Mesenteric venous thrombosis, likely caused by peritonitis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), led to euthanasia.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Pathology

Background:

  • Inguinal hernias are a known surgical condition in horses.
  • Abdominal pain in horses can indicate serious gastrointestinal or systemic issues.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old Lusitanian stallion presented with acute abdominal pain.
  • Exploratory celiotomy revealed an inguinal hernia, followed by a second celiotomy due to persistent pain.

Findings:

  • Mesenteric venous thrombosis was diagnosed post-mortem.
  • The thrombosis was considered secondary to peritonitis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).

Implications:

  • This case highlights the severe complications, including thrombosis, that can arise from peritonitis in horses.
