Short Communications

Chyloabdomen in a neonatal foal

CL Campbell-Beggs, PJ Johnson, DA Wilson, and MA Miller

Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Missouri at Columbia 65211, USA.

A 12-hour-old female standardbred foal developed signs of abdominal pain, tachycardia, tachypnoea and fever associated with chylous ascites. Small intestinal obstruction was due to segmental, mid-jejunal lymphangiectasia. Post mortem examination revealed a lack of communication between afferent and efferent lymphatic vessels in the mesenteric lymphocentre, a defect which was suspected to be congenital.
