  • Title: Ileal impaction in the horse.
    Author: Embertson RM, Colahan PT, Brown MP, Peyton LC, Schneider RK, Granstedt ME.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Mar 15; 186(6):570-2. PubMed ID: 3988588.
    Abstract:
    Twelve cases of ileal impaction in the horse were reviewed. Clinical features of the disease included evidence of mild abdominal pain, reduced or absent intestinal sounds, rectally palpable distended small intestine, gastric reflux, and in the early stages, normal peritoneal fluid. Surgical correction of the impaction was accomplished in 10 horses. Of 8 horses discharged from the hospital, 7 returned to full function. It was concluded that the shorter the duration of colic before surgical intervention, the better the prognosis.
