Warfarin anticoagulation in the horse

E A Scott, T D Byars, A M Lamar

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Warfarin anticoagulation in horses with jugular vein thrombophlebitis showed mixed results, achieving recanalization in half the cases but causing hemorrhage complications. Vitamin K1 reversed these effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Hematology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Thrombophlebitis, specifically in the external jugular vein, is a condition affecting horses.
    • Anticoagulation therapy is a potential treatment modality for such conditions.

    Observation:

    • Four horses diagnosed with external jugular vein thrombophlebitis were treated with warfarin.
    • Coagulation parameters were monitored, targeting a prothrombin time between 1.5 to 2.5 times the baseline value.

    Findings:

    • Warfarin treatment resulted in recanalization of the thrombophlebitis in 2 out of the 4 treated horses.
    • Complications observed included subcutaneous hemorrhage and hemorrhage from a surgical incision.
    • Intravenous administration of Vitamin K1 effectively reversed the anticoagulation effects of warfarin and controlled hemorrhage.

    Implications:

    • Warfarin can be effective in treating equine jugular vein thrombophlebitis, though with a risk of hemorrhage.
    • Careful monitoring of coagulation parameters is crucial during warfarin therapy in horses.
    • Vitamin K1 serves as a vital antidote for managing warfarin-induced complications in equine patients.
