Orgotein in equine navicular disease: a double blind study.

Fourteen horses (7 treated with orgotein and 7 treated with a placebo) with navicular disease were studied on a double blind basis. All 14 horses had clinical and radiographic evidence of navicular disease. Orgotein and the placebo were administered by juxtabursal injection. Of the 7 orgotein-treated horses, 3 responded but none of the 7 placebo-treated horses responded. The difference was statistically significant (P less than 0.05).

Intracecal endotoxin and lactate during the onset of equine laminitis: a preliminary report.

Cecal fluid from two adult horses was assayed by the limulus amebocyte lysate system for endotoxin before and after carbohydrate overload of the gastrointestinal tract. There were increases in cecal fluid endotoxin concentrations at the 3-, 6-, and 12-hour samplings when compared with base-line values. Concomitant cecal fluid lactate concentrations and pH values increased and decreased, respectively. Both horses subsequently developed clinical signs of acute laminitis.

Animals

Cerebral ventricle cannulation in the calf.

A stereotaxic apparatus and procedure for surgically implanting guide cannulae for access to the cerebral ventricles of the calf are described. This type of implant permits chronic ventricular injections and collections of mililiter quantities of cerebrospinal fluid from the nonanesthetized calf.
