Stress leukogram includes eosinopenia as one of its main markers (neutrophilia, eosinopenia, lymphopenia, and mild monocytosis). Cortisol is the main stress biomarker, which is also strongly correlated with the severity of gastrointestinal diseases. This study aimed to determine the relationship between salivary cortisol and the eosinophil cell count (EC) in equids with abdominal pain.

Occasionally, ovarian abscesses have been described after OPU, but no current consensus exists on how to treat this condition.
Objectives: To describe diagnosis and successful treatment of ovarian abscesses in two mares subjected to OPU.
Article Synopsis
- Equine uveitis is an inflammatory eye disease commonly affecting horses, often linked to immune processes or trauma.
- A case study at the University of Extremadura involved a horse with bilateral uveitis that collapsed and died during treatment, revealing renal cell carcinoma with widespread metastasis during necropsy.
- The findings emphasize the importance of considering uveal metastasis in older horses with persistent uveitis unresponsive to treatment.
An 8-year-old mare mule was presented with a facial mass and history of anorexia, unilateral epistaxis and purulent nasal discharge. The facial mass was encountered from the ventral to the lateral right canthus of the eye up to the facial crest. Thoracic ultrasonography showed five rounded masses.
