Fernanda Camargo, Amy Lawyer, Peter Timony | Nov. 14, 2011 (New)
Equine viral arteritis (EVA) is a contagious disease of horses and other equine species caused by equine arteritis virus (EAV) that is found in horse populations in many countries. It was first isolated and identified in 1953 from the lung of an aborted fetus with characteristic pathologic changes in the smaller arteries, which is how the disease got its name.
ID-186: Managing Legume Induced Bloat in Cattle
Michelle Arnold, Roy Burris, David Ditsch, Garry Lacefield, Jeff Lehmkuhler | Mar. 10, 2011 (New)
Ruminal tympany, or bloat, can result in lost animal performance and in severe cases, death. It occurs as a result of a buildup of fermentation gases in the rumen. Bloat may be categorized as frothy bloat, which is caused by the formation of a stable foam in the rumen, or free gas bloat, which is due to excessive production of gaseous compounds from fermentation or as a result of an obstruction preventing the escape of gas compounds. Legume bloat is a frothy bloat condition.

Wobbler syndrome, or cervical vertebral malformation (CVM), is a devastating disease that can affect a horse's neurologic and musculoskeletal systems.

As a result, horses exhibit clinical signs of spasticity, ataxia, and lack of coordination.
ID-179: Evaluating the Health of Your Horse
Fernanda Camargo, Roberta Dwyer | Feb. 5, 2010 (New)
Horse owners, managers, and handlers can help to maintain the health of their animals by studying their behavior through observation and inspection, and should be able to accurately determine important measurements such as temperature, pulse, respiration, and mucous membrane color through a clinical examination. Having this information about your horse can be critical if the animal is ill or injured and you need to supply these details to your veterinarian.
