Article Synopsis
- Hydropsical conditions in domestic animals involve abnormal fluid buildup, often linked to issues like placentitis or fetal abnormalities, and can pose a medical emergency for pregnant mares.
- A case study featured a 9-year-old Quarter mare with hydroallantois at 271 days of gestation, resulting in the birth of a non-viable foal with severe congenital defects.
- The situation required swift medical intervention, which included fluid drainage and pregnancy termination, ultimately highlighting the necessity for early diagnosis and management of such conditions in horses.
Background: Periparturient reproductive complications appear to be common in hospitalized goats. More information is needed about periparturient reproductive complications and survival in goats with these conditions.
Objective: Identify exposure factors associated with nonsurvival in periparturient does hospitalized ≤1 day or ≥2 days.
Background: Goats are increasingly popular as both production animals and pets. The frequency of and factors associated with periparturient reproductive complications in goats are largely unreported.
Objectives: (1) To report the frequency of periparturient reproductive complications in does presented to university veterinary hospitals and (2) to identify factors associated with uterine tears in the study population.
Transplantation of stem cells into dysfunctional testes is currently being investigated as a therapeutic option for men and stallions with advanced testicular degeneration. This series of "proof of concept" studies aimed to identify a safe and efficient method of inducing severe testicular degeneration to create an optimal equine recipient model for intratesticular stem cell transplantation (SCT). Two ex vivo and two in vivo experiments were conducted.

Methods: Mares (gestation D270-300) were assigned to: INFECT (n = 6; placentitis, no treatment), FIRO (n = 6; placentitis, firocoxib, 0.
