“…These may be the only signs in less severe types of colic, such as gastric ulcers ( Belli et al, 2005 ) and large intestinal impactions ( Ferreira et al, 2009 ), or early signs of severe conditions, such as enteritis or peritonitis ( Dória et al, 2015 ; Ferreira et al, 2007 ; Gonzaga et al, 2020 ). Although anorexia, a partial or total reduction in food intake, is common in several horse conditions, it should be considered during decision-making by owners as it is a clinical sign associated with colic conditions of varying severity and may also act as a predisposing factor for this condition by decreasing gastrointestinal motility ( Di Filippo et al, 2021 ; Melo et al, 2021 ). Abdominal distension, diarrhea, straining to defecate/urinate, and muscle tremor were the most commonly reported clinical signs associated with decision-making for veterinary intervention.…”

Horse owners are crucial in recognizing colic because they are responsible for identifying the signs of colic and deciding whether to seek veterinary intervention. Common reasons for delayed response to clinical issues include lack of understanding or knowledge of the subject and difficulty in recognizing subtle clinical signs of abdominal pain. Examining horse owners' basic knowledge of colic, their motivations, obstacles in seeking veterinary care, and their responses to the various clinical symptoms manifested during colic will identify current knowledge gaps and decision-making barriers. This study aimed to examine the experiences, recognition, and attitudes of horse owners during an episode of equine colic in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted using questionnaires in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The sample consisted of horse owners, competitors of any equestrian modality (provided that they were responsible for a horse at the time of the application of the questionnaire), or individuals who had previously owned a horse. There were differences related to the recognition and attitudes adopted towards colic in horses compared to the studies performed in other countries. The overall results of this study highlight the need for educational campaigns for horse owners to fill knowledge gaps about colic and the need for a clearer picture of colic, including what it is, the predisposing factors, and the range of symptoms. Additionally, this knowledge will equip horse owners to appropriately respond to these symptoms.

“…The horses that received endo-and ectoparasiticide were housed in paddocks and fed daily with commercial feed (1 kg/100 kg BW), Tifton hay (1 kg/100 kg BW), chopped elephant grass ( Pennisetum purpureum ), water, and mineral salt ad libitum. After an adaptation period of 30 days, they were randomly divided into four experimental groups (ENTFL, ENTGL, PARGL, and PARFL groups) in accordance with previously described methods ( Melo et al, 2021 ).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the total parenteral nutrition associated with glutamine, enteral fluid therapy with or without glutamine, and fluid therapy on the acid–base and electrolyte balance of horses starved after exploratory laparotomy. Sixteen healthy male and female adult horses of mixed breed, aged between 4 and 14 years, and having a mean body weight of 248.40 ± 2.28 kg and a body score index of 3–4 (scale of 1–5) were divided into four groups with four animals per group. After an adaptation period of 30 days, they were randomly divided into four experimental groups: enteral fluid therapy, enteral fluid therapy associated with glutamine, total parenteral nutrition associated with glutamine, and parenteral fluid therapy. The experiment was further divided into two phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2. In Phase 1, an exploratory laparotomy was performed, treatments were administered to the groups and the horses received no food or water other than those given to their respective groups. In Phase 2, the animals were re-fed. Each phase had a total duration of 144 h. Venous blood samples were collected every 24 h throughout the experimental period for blood gas and electrolyte analyses. The following parameters were evaluated: pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, total carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, base shift, anion gap, sodium, potassium, chloride, total calcium and magnesium. Completely randomized designs with a 4 × 7 factorial scheme (groups × harvest time) in Phase 1 and a 4 × 6 factorial scheme (groups × harvest time) in Phase 2 were used with four replications. All values were considered significant when p≤0.05 (95% probability). Blood pH, bicarbonate concentration, and base shift in the PARGL group decreased, indicating metabolic acidosis. Changes in the acid–base and electrolyte balance were more intense in the PARGL group than in the other groups. These results demonstrated the need to monitor blood gas and electrolyte balance in horses with food restriction under nutritional support or prolonged fluid therapy so that such changes are promptly corrected.
