Treatment of retained placenta in broadmares in a 4-step-routine – review of 36 cases

Abstract: ZusammenfassungAnhand von 36 Stuten, bei denen nach der Geburt eine Retentio secundinarum vorlag, werden die unterschiedlichen ätiologischen Zusammenhänge, Formen (vollständige Retentio, Teilretentio und Mikroretentio), zeitliche Korrelation zum Auftreten einer Pododermatitis, sowie Erfolg der eingeleiteten Therapie dargestellt. Von einem verzögerten Nachgeburtsabgang wurde ausgegangen, wenn die Eihäute sich nicht spontan innerhalb von zwei Stunden post partum gelöst hatten. Zum Zeitpunkt der Einlieferung ware… Show more

“…To summarise, fetal membrane retention cannot always be successfully treated with oxytocin injections [2,4,7,9]. Our results suggest that one reason for this may be that oxytocin receptor expression is reduced in the myometrium of older mares that retain fetal membranes in association with secondary atony of the uterus.…”

“…Retention is commonly treated with oxytocin injections [3][4][5]. However, this is based on the assumption that the main cause of retention is secondary atony of the uterus (myometrial fatigue after expelling the neonate) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and this treatment sometimes fails [2,4,7,9]. This may be because stimulation of myometrial contractions depends more on the number of oxytocin receptors than on oxytocin dose [13,14].…”
