H Valdez, W L Scrutchfield, T S Taylor

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |August 15, 1979

    Summary

    Repeated peritoneal lavage using a catheter effectively treated peritonitis in eight horses. This method, using antimicrobial solutions, successfully drained purulent fluid and led to recovery in most cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Health
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Peritonitis is a serious condition in horses.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for survival.
    • Bacterial infections are a common cause of equine peritonitis.

    Observation:

    • Eight horses of varying ages presented with peritonitis.
    • Purulent fluid was drained from the peritoneal cavity via a catheter.
    • Escherichia coli and Nocardia sp. were identified as causative agents in some cases.

    Findings:

    • Retrograde peritoneal lavage was performed using Ringer's lactate solution.
    • Antimicrobial agents including kanamycin, povidone iodine, and nitrofurazone were used in lavage.
    • The treatment resulted in a positive response in six out of eight horses.

    Implications:

    • Peritoneal lavage is a viable treatment option for equine peritonitis.
    • Antimicrobial lavage can effectively manage bacterial peritonitis in horses.
    • Further research could optimize lavage solutions and protocols for better outcomes.
