Abstract
SUMMARY: A method of fiberoptic gastroduodenoscopy and biopsy was developed for use in large horses. A 275 cm × 13.5 mm fiberendoscope was used to examine the stomach and proximal portion of the duodenum. Food was withheld for 24 to 48 hours before examination. In more than 50 horses, gastric and duodenal structures were easily visualized. A variety of lesions was detected, including parasitic lesions, gastric ulcers, gastric neoplasia, and pyloric stenosis. Mucosal biopsy specimens were obtained in selected cases.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
