Not if you catch them quickly enough, but they will pretty much all develop it by day four or five post obstruction if they are not treated. One they necrose they rupture soon after, causing severe toxic peritonitis and rapid death.

when you pull the intestines out do you need to put the intestines back in, in a certain way? or do you just take the intestine and just stuff it in where it fits?
Ive always wanted to be a equine vet or do something with equine surgery. Im only 16 so i have a few more years but this video defently made me move towards surgerys more. Its so amazing what people can do. Thank you :)
when you're putting the intestines back in the body, how do you keep them from getting twisted or tangled up? I've always wondered this, in horses AND humans.. hah.
anyways, these are awesome videos!! so fascinating. please keep them coming!
i often don't diagnose anything specific before surgery. There is a list of criteria which suggest surgery, such as elevated heart rate, unrelenting pain, ultrasound and rectal findings etc. If they tick enough boxes, they go to surgery.
From memory, i'm pretty sure this horse had some string in the middle of it. The string/plastic/baling twine/whatever acts as a focus for the faeces to accumulate around. Then it enters in the small colon, where it is sucked dry of fluid (cos thats what the small colon does), and becomes hard, dry and sticky, and gets stuck.
What about the medical history, recurrent colic ? Or the owner/groom notice that the horse had eaten an foreign body ?? By the way I just found your video page and I have to congratulate you, they are very educative.
PS I am sorry for my english, it is not my natural language...
So how would a horse develop those faecoliths? Being a midwestern US horse person, we usually get colic from overly rich grass. I've heard of sand colic in dry states, and the pica that develops in some horses...just curious about this particular case.

Is it common for necrosis to develop around the faecolith area? And what would be the course of treatment if so?

@PuukaBear Treatment of necrosis in the intestines, I would imagine from what Ive gotten training in, would removal of the affected area. Am I wrong?

The small goes wherever it wants; the large has to go in in a specific way.

Very neat surgery. Thank you so much for the narration and videos. I hope to be a vet someday and these are really great to see now.

do the stitches dissolve or do they stay forever?
TheBestDamnThing94 5 months ago
@TheBestDamnThing94 the vet will take them out in about 6 weeks, usually they have staples
the colon ones will dissolve though

Awesome Video. My horse just had colic surgery 2 days ago. I dont think it was like this but i got an idea. He had his colon cut open.

Much as you might expect it to smell. To be honest, my assistant smells worse, but he doesn't seem to care.

What did you do to diagnose this condition ?
What about the medical history, recurrent colic ? Or the owner/groom notice that the horse had eaten an foreign body ?? By the way I just found your video page and I have to congratulate you, they are very educative.
