“…Of the reviewed papers, 64 contained dosing regimens for PPG (Supplementary Table 1). The most frequently reported dose was 20–25,000 IU/kg (53/64) administered every 12 h. All papers with dose rates less than this came from the UK (range 12,000–18,000 IU/kg), with the exception of one from Australia (17,000 IU/kg). Of the papers from the UK and Australia, 55% (6/11) and 20% (1/5), respectively, used doses of PPG below the most commonly reported dose of 20–25,000 IU/kg.…”

Background Appropriate dosing with antimicrobial agents is critical for effective treatment and to prevent the development of antimicrobial resistance. Methods A review was undertaken of equine journal articles (Equine Veterinary Journal, Equine Veterinary Education, Australian Veterinary Journal, Australian Equine Veterinarian, Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine and Journal of Equine Veterinary Science) between January 2015 and August 2018. Those with dosing regimens for procaine penicillin G, gentamicin or trimethoprim‐sulfonamide in adult horses were examined and evaluated. Pharmacokinetics and ‐dynamics of these drugs were also reviewed. Results & Conclusion The most frequently reported doses for penicillin, gentamicin and trimethoprim‐sulfonamide were 20–25,000 IU/kg, 6.6 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg, respectively. Veterinarians treating equine patients in Australia should be aware of the current recommended doses and inter‐dosing intervals to ensure efficacy in therapy and to preserve the usefulness of these antimicrobials for the future.

“…Whether a dilatation of the vein is called an aneurysm in human medicine is still under debate (Jankovic et al 2013; Rajput et al 2013). Due to the low incidence in the horse, an abnormal increase in diameter would be considered appropriate to be defined as an ananeurysm, keeping in mind the difference from varicose veins which simply imply tortuosity combined with dilatation of the veins, and which occurs more often in horses (Reardon et al 2015). Varicose veins are described in the vulva, secondary to occlusion of the jugular vein and occur occasionally elsewhere, such as the tarsus, knee joint and penis (personal communication).…”

Venous aneurysm of the jugular vein in horses

Venous anomalies of the jugular vein are uncommon in the horse. Jugular venous aneurysms (congenital or pseudoaneurysm) in horses usually present as a compressible asymptomatic cervical mass enlarging on manual congestion of the jugular vein. They can be classified into primary (congenital) and acquired lesions. Primary venous aneurysms are true venous aneurysms because in these lesions the venous wall is intact, whereas false or pseudoaneurysm has a disruption of the inner layers of the venous wall. Two types of jugular vein aneurysm can be identified, fusiform or saccular, the former being the most common in people. Doppler ultrasound imaging confirms the diagnosis. Surgical treatment, aneurysmectomy with venorraphy or venoplasty is indicated in case of progressive aneurysmal expansion. This clinical commentary describes a 4‐month‐old foal presented with a primary aneurysm of the right jugular vein in the midcervial region. Treatment consisted of partial aneurysmectomy and venorraphy. Four years later, the horse had a patent jugular vein with a normal diameter and was trained without clinical signs of venous distension.
