“…Signs of pain may include but are not limited to quietness, inappetence or reduced appetite, low head carriage, restlessness or frequent weight shifting, pointing a front limb or resting one limb, increased or reduced lying down, standing at the back of the stall, standing hunched over or stretched out, and looking at a painful area of the body. 18 Subtle signs that may be associated with pain, including bruxism, sweating, muscle fasciculations, and facial appearance, are observed in proximity to the horse. 21,22 Willingness to interact, and type of interaction, with a known owner/handler who is familiar with the horse's behaviors may provide additional information.…”

“…Studies to document this and to determine if facial expressions in response to painful stimuli were consistent have been performed. 18,21,22 Observed via CCTV, the facial expressions most frequently associated with pain were low and/or asymmetrical ear positioning, an angled appearance of the eyes, a withdrawn or tense stare, mediolaterally dilated nostrils, and tension in the jaw, chin, lips, and certain facial muscles (Fig. 1).…”

“…6,18 These physiologic parameters, although easy to acquire and quantify, have been shown to have low sensitivity and specificity for pain in part because of multiple factors influencing these responses. For example, although pain may cause alterations in heart rate, other factors, such as shock, medications, stress, or exercise, may also be influential.…”

Epidural anesthesia is a loco-regional anesthesia technique where drugs are injected in the epidural space. In the 19th century, this technique was developed for human medicine, and later found its way into veterinary medicine. It is useful for surgical interventions in the standing horse, as part of a balanced anesthetic protocol or for postoperative pain management. Analgesia and anesthesia involves the pelvis, pelvic limbs, tail, vagina, vulva, anus, perineum and abdomen. However, several contraindications and complications have been reported for epidural anesthesia. In horses, epidural injections can be performed cranially (lumbosacral space) or caudally (sacro-coccygeal or Co1-Co2 ). While single injections can be performed, the use of epidural catheters allows repeated administration. Depending on the desired effect, different drugs (local anesthetics, alpha2-agonists, opioids, ketamine, tramadol or tiletamine-zolazepam), drug combinations and volumes can be chosen.

The objective of this study was to report the outcome of horses treated either conservatively or surgically for luxation of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) from the calcaneal tuber. Medical records of horses with diagnosed SDFT luxations from the calcaneal tuber were reviewed and long-term follow-up examinations and owner questionnaires performed. Survival to hospital discharge, complications, final SDFT position, soundness and return to intended use were compared between conservatively or surgically treated horses. Following conservative treatment all horses (n = 8) survived to hospital discharge. At long-term follow-up 71.4% (5/7) had returned to intended use. The SDFT was unstable in all of them resulting in a mild mechanical lameness. Nine horses underwent surgical treatment. The SDFT was reduced and maintained in position with a synthetic mesh and sutures (n = 2), with a synthetic mesh, sutures and suture screws (n = 6) or with sutures and suture screws (n = 1). Only 66.7% (6/9) of the horses survived to hospital discharge. Fatal complications including support limb laminitis (1/9), implant infection (1/9), and support limb laminitis plus infection (1/9) occurred. All horses available for long-term follow-up (n = 5) were clinically sound and 80% (4/5) had returned to intended use. Following conservative treatment, a mild mechanical lameness will persist but will not prevent the horses from returning to their intended use. Surgical repair can result in a stable fixation of the SDFT with long-term soundness and return to intended use; however, fatal complications (support limb laminitis, infection) can occur leading to the euthanasia of the horse in the immediate post-operative period.
