Retrospective evaluation of factors associated with emergency frequency and survival in equids presenting for emergency care (2019-2020): 3071 cases.

Objective: To determine factors associated with frequency and outcome of equid emergencies in private practice.

Design: Retrospective study from February 2019 to January 2020.

Setting: Private practice large animal hospital.

Effects of calcium supplementation to resuscitation fluids in endurance horses: A randomized, blinded, clinical trial.

Background: The addition of calcium to resuscitation fluids is a common practice in horses, but studies evaluating the effects of calcium supplementation are limited. In healthy horses, decreases in heart rate and changes in serum electrolyte concentrations have been reported.

Hypothesis: Calcium gluconate administration at a rate of 0.

Ex vivo comparison of single-layer and double-layer laparoscopic closure of equine bladders with 2 types of barbed sutures.

Objective: To compare laparoscopic single-layer versus double-layer closure of experimental, full-thickness incisions in adult equine urinary bladders using unidirectional and bidirectional barbed suture.

Study Design: Experimental, ex vivo, surgical study.

Sample Population: Thirty adult equine cadaver urinary bladders.
