  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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

  • @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?

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

  • 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? 

  • forgot how living tissue looks so much better than the preserved stuff you dissect in class

  • 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 :)

  • 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.
