Endoscopic Laser surgery for treatment of guttural pouch tympany in Arabian filly.

Guttural pouch tympany is a condition in which a young horse's guttural pouch traps excess air, causing a non-painful swelling behind the jaw. It is more common in foals, especially fillies, and can be caused by an inflammation or a congenital defect where the pharyngeal opening acts as a one-way valve, letting air in but not out. Treatment options range from medical management for inflammatory cases to surgical intervention for congenital defects, with a good prognosis for most horses.

Re**al prolapse is a condition in which one or more layers of the re**um protrude through the a**s. A prolapse may be classified as incomplete, in which only the innermost re**al layer protrudes, or complete, in which all re**al layers protrude. The condition may occur in foals in association with severe diarrhea and straining to defecate or urinate. It can be caused by intestinal, anore**al, or urinary diseases or exposure to certain fungal toxins in feed.
For horses with re**al prolapse, epidural anesthesia (injecting anesthetic near the spinal cord) may be used to keep the horse from straining and allow repositioning the pr*****ed tissue. Stitches will often be needed to keep the repositioned tissue in place. followed by purse string suture pattern.
