@VetFinals Sequestrum? #vetfinals

@VetFinals Cut it back to a slightly more sensible plane #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Exuberant granulation preventing re-epithelialisation? #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals 18G needle with 20ml syringe is optimal, but not really practical for a wound this size surely #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Apart from taking a sniff, unfortunately not :/ #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Still looks quite fresh, not necrotic, bright red coloured wound edges, no pus. Probably done within last few hours #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals What caused it? How long ago? Is it lame/how much by? Is it insured? #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@heyjoni88 @VetFinals I thought pen and gent was always the right option......

@VetFinals Give prostaglandin to lyse CL and aid return to cyclicity? Then broad spec antibiotics for endometritis following uterine lavage? #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Rectal tear, breaking our arms, the classic equine things #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Transrectal ultrasound of uterus and ovaries, and palpation at the same time #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Nope. Slope over 15% increases chance of secondary commensal infection

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Check for obvious systemic dz (pyrexia, lameness, loss of BCS), work head to tail incl auscultation, and then check vulva+mammae #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Also establish her breed/intended use and intended use of foal, as well as insurance details if applicable? #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Surely we have time to do some quick imaging... #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Not sure yet, could still just be respiratory disease? #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@VetFinals Is that a distended vein caudal to the elbow? #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]

@devon_neilson @VetFinals any cranial nerve deficits? get some facial nerve problems in cauda equina neuritis #vetfinals

[George Worden @GWorden23]
