“…All ponies in this study had respiratory rates above the normal range of 8–15 bpm [49]. Potential reasons include increased respiratory rate during recovery from exercise, increased demands for respiratory heat loss in a hot, humid climate, and pathological reasons such as respiratory disease or increased demand for respiratory heat loss secondary to anhidrosis [50]. A study performed on 350 working equids in Ethiopia found tachypnoea in over 75% of animals [51].…”

Many working equids in developing countries experience poor health and welfare due to environmental and management factors. Collecting baseline data on these populations is essential to inform education projects to improve equid health and welfare. Gili Trawangan is an island in Indonesia that has no motor vehicles and a working pony population of approximately 200. This pilot study sought to determine baseline data on their health, welfare, and husbandry to inform future health and welfare strategies. A cross-sectional study was performed in May 2017 consisting of a pony cart driver questionnaire (n = 33) and a basic pony health examination (n = 38). The body condition scores of ponies were 3/5 (60.5%), 2/5 (31.6%), and 1/5 (7.9%), while 38% and 92% of ponies had lameness and foot pathology, respectively, and 31 ponies (86.1%) had at least one wound. Thirty percent of cart drivers stated they would work their ponies despite evidence of injury or illness. Limited education, poor access to veterinary services, and remoteness pose barriers to improving pony health and welfare. Our results indicate a need for, and can help inform, targeted education programmes to improve the lives of working ponies and protect livelihoods and tourism on Gili Trawangan.

Objective: The aim of this study was evaluation of clinical and hematological and hemogasometric parameters resulting from experimentally induced furosemide dehydration in horses. Methods: Six adult male horses were submitted to the protocol of induction of dehydration with furosemide and kept in water and feeding fasting for 72 hours. Clinical, hematological and hemogasometric examinations were performed every 12 hours. Clinical parameters were correlated with body weight loss to identify those who best represent the clinical picture of dehydration. Results: Mean weight loss was 13.5% after 72 hours. The capillary refill time showed the best correlation index (r) of 0.95, (p-value = 0.001), followed by BUN , r = 0.94, heart rate, with negative correlation with weight loss, r = -0.91 (p-value = 0.005), packed cell volume, r = 0.78 (p-value = 0.038 Plasma protein has further increased to 8.4 ± 0.5 g / dL and urea increased by over 100% at the end of the study. Was also observed an increase in sodium concentration and progressive decrease in chloride and potassium concentrations during the evaluated period. The pH rose from 12 hours and remained high until complete the 72 hours. There was also an increase in plasma bicarbonate concentration from 24 hours, exceeding the reference limits. Conclusions: Given these results, it can be concluded that the dehydration protocol induced a light hypertonic dehydration, confirmed by the slight increase in plasma osmolarity, hyperproteinemia, hypochloremia with metabolic alkalosis, confirmed by the average values of strong ions difference during throughout the dehydration process.

“…Usually, in horses the hypoproteinaemia is more commonly associated with increased loss than with decreased production that may only occur with severe chronic liver diseases (Bergero and Nery, 2008). Aside from the GIT, proteins can be lost through the urinary tract or be accumulated in the third space; thus, urinalysis and thoracic or abdominal ultrasound to exclude the presence of effusions should be part of the initial evaluation (Hines, 2018). In horses with IBD, the major cause of hypoproteinaemia has been shown to result from excessive loss of proteins into the intestinal tract (Lindberg et al., 1985).…”

Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are a group of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders described in both humans and animals, but unlike in other species, in horses they are poorly defined and there is a lack of standardisation of the method of diagnosis. Although there is an impellent need of consensus on the nomenclature, diagnostic work-up, diet, treatment and management of horses with a suspected IBD, the aim of this review is to give initial guidelines for practitioners dealing with suspected cases. It provides a summary of the most relevant literature on the topic and presents the current knowledge on the clinical signs, diagnostic work-up, treatment and prognosis of IBDs in horses. Granulomatous enteritis (GE)This was the first type of IBD described (Cimprich, 1974) and the most frequently reported in the past century (Lindberg
