When body fluids are lost, levels of electrolytes often become low or unbalanced, so fluid therapy plays an important role in correcting these disturbances. In diseases such as diarrhoea or colic, fluid therapy is often the most important treatment to save a horse's life. To give intravenous fluids, a vet has to 'place' a catheter - a ...

Background: Intravenous (IV) and intragastric (IG) administration of fluid therapy are commonly used in equine prac- tice, but there are limited data on the systemic, renal, and enteric effects. Hypothesis: IV fluid administration will increase intestinal and fecal hydration in a rate-dependent manner after hyper-.

IV and oral fluid therapy can be combined to provide the best chance of hydrating and moving the impaction through the intestinal tract. Pelvic flexure impactions that fail to respond to medical therapy can require surgery. Reasons for taking a pelvic flexure impaction to surgery include high levels of pain in the horse.
