Abstract
A 17-year-old Quarter Horse broodmare was taken to surgery for signs of
colic unresponsive to medical management. The small colon was
strangulated by a pendulous ovarian pedicle. The strangulation was
freed, and the affected ovary was removed. The mare developed signs of a
small colon obstruction 4 days after surgery. The mare was euthanized 6
days after surgery for signs of a GI rupture. A post-mortem examination
revealed necrosis of the affected portion of small colon.03 Nov 2023Submitted to Equine Veterinary Education 06 Nov 2023Submission Checks Completed
