Published: December 1989

The results of a study conducted to determine the clinical changes in 4 experimentally-induced cases of endotoxaemia in the horse are reported on. Endotoxaemia was induced by injecting commercially available E. coli 055:B5 lipopolysaccharide intravenously at a dose of 1 microgram kg-1. The parameters that were monitored include general behaviour, rectal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and quality, pulse quality, mucous membrane colour, capillary refill time, appearance of the faeces and the presence of laminitis. Increases in rectal temperature, respiratory and heart rate, capillary refill time, the development of a bounding peripheral pulse, dyspnoea and congestion of mucous membranes, decrease in faecal consistency and behavioural changes were recorded.

Heatstroke, a global concern exacerbated by climate change, poses significant health risks, potentially leading to multiorgan damage and fatalities. Core body temperature (CBT) is a critical and precise indicator of heatstroke, and its continuous monitoring could serve as a pivotal tool for early detection. Traditional CBT measurements, often invasive (e.
