How to Interpret History and Physical Examination Findings of a Horse with an Acute Abdomen in the Field
CE accreditation has expired for this course, but you may still view the presentation.
While the majority of horses and foals with colic respond to medical management, early identification of those with a strangulating obstruction is imperative. The goals should be to manage the majority of horses/foals medically, without delaying surgery in those with a strangulation thereby maximizing the likelihood of an uncomplicated recovery and successful return to their intended use. Careful consideration of the patient history and detailed physical examination can help with early identification of an intestinal strangulation or at least prompt the use of additional diagnostic tests.

In many jurisdictions, programs sponsored by the AAEP are considered valid CE regardless of RACE approval. Each state board has its own requirements regarding the number of online (also known as: distance, anywhere, non-interactive) credits that may be applied toward licensure. There may also be restrictions on the number of non-medical (i.e. business or wellness) credits that apply toward licensure. Enrollees in online CE should check with their state veterinary board for complete information.
