Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) luxation in the horse is a rare condition. There are few reports of unilateral luxation with successful reduction; bilateral luxation with concurrent bilateral coronoid fracture has not been reported. The diagnosis and closed reduction technique for rostral TMJ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess and compare 2 injection techniques for conducting ocular anterior segment indocyanine green angiography (ASICGA) and sodium fluorescein (SF) angiography in horses. ANIMALS: 3 healthy adult female horses (age range, 19 to 25 years). PROCEDURES: Horses were sedated, jugular...

Background: The anatomical complexity of the horse's head limits the abilities of radiography. Computed tomography (CT) in combination with contrast enhanced CT is used more often for diagnosing various head pathology in horses. The objective of this study was to compare intravenous and...

Ponies with tracheal collapse may have an increased anesthetic risk due to airway obstruction during induction and recovery. To our knowledge, there are no anesthetic descriptions of these patients, despite a reported 5.6% incidence and 77% mortality rate. Two Shetland ponies with tracheal...

Complementary examinations complete and refine the diagnosis for ocular trauma. They assist the veterinarian in choosing suitable treatment. Ocular adnexa can be explored by different techniques such as ultrasonography, contrast radiography and computed tomography. Transpalpebral ultrasonography is ...

Ophthalmic imaging techniques available for use in the horse have expanded and improved rapidly in recent years. Utilization of these newer imaging modalities has permitted observation of anatomical and physiologic changes associated with many equine ocular disorders in a manner that was previously ...

In a recent study with young females (up to 5 years old) of the Campolina breed, there were discrete indications of alterations in the digit, apparently associated to the increase in adiposity. With the hypothesis that this association is more evident in horses in the upper age group, the objective ...

Apical infections of cheek teeth are common disorders in horses. Young horses are usually affected. The most common signs for the apical infections are variably sized swellings of the mandibular or maxillar areas. The signs are more obvious when the rostral cheek teeth are affected. Unilateral...

A 5-year-old intact female rabbit was presented with bilateral ocular lesions. In both eyes, a fleshy mass was emerging from the iris. Focal corneal edema, neovascularization, generalized rubeosis iridis, +1 aqueous flare, and dyscoria could also be identified. In addition, hepatomegaly was...
