Abstract
The medical records of equine gastrointestinal colic cases presented to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine between 1992 and 2002 are reviewed. There was no breed predisposition to colic. Geldings were more prone to colic than females and stallions. Overall, the 3 most common causes of colic were large colon impaction (20.8%), large colon displacement (16.5%), and spasmodic colic (11.7%), after excluding the 13% of cases in which the diagnosis was undetermined. Of the medical cases, large colon impaction (38.4%) and spasmodic colic (22.5%) were the most common. Of the surgical cases, large colon displacement (24.5%), large colon torsion (14.3%), and strangulating lipoma (13.5%) were the most common. Recovery rate for the medical cases was 93.6%. Recovery rate for surgical cases was 73.5%. In conclusion, most of the equine colic cases were medical, and the recovery rates for both surgical and medical cases were comparable with those of other studies.
Résumé
Causes de coliques gastro-intestinales chez des chevaux de l’Ouest du Canada: 604 cas (1992 à 2002). Les dossiers médicaux des cas de coliques gastro-intestinales présentés au Western College of Veterinary Medicne entre 1992 et 2002 ont été passés en revue. Il n’y avait pas de prédisposition raciales aux coliques. Les hongres étaient plus sujets aux coliques que les femelles ou les étalons. Globalement, les 3 principales causes de coliques étaient l’impaction du gros colon (20, 8%), le déplacement du gros côlon (16, 5%) et les coliques spasmodiques (11, 7%), après exclusion de 13% de cas où le diagnostic était indéterminé. De tous les cas médicaux, l’impaction du gros côlon (38, 4%) et la colique spasmodique (22, 5%) étaient les plus fréquents. Des cas chirurgicaux, le déplacement du gros côlon (24, 5%), la torsion du côlon (14, 3%) et l’étranglement par lipomes (13, 5%) étaient les plus fréquents. Le taux de rétablissement des cas médicaux était de 93, 6% et celui des cas chirurgicaux de 73, 5%. Il a été conclu que la majorité des coliques équines étaient d’origine médicale et que les taux de rétablissement des cas chirurgicaux et médicaux étaient comparables à ceux d’autres études.
