The mare presented with an acute onset of neurological signs, with a neuroanatomical localisation to the midbrain and thalamus regions. The mare was reported to have suffered from ataxia on all four limbs which started 7 days prior to referral and was also showing several signs of left-sided cranial nerve deficits. On initial examination, the mare presented with quadrilateral ataxia, left-sided facial paralysis, weak tongue tone and a left-sided nose tilt as well as a hemineglect syndrome characterised by an inability to eat food presented on the right side of her mouth. Complete blood count and biochemistry analyses did not reveal any abnormalities, and a standing head CT revealed the presence of a hyperdense lesion localised in the left ventral cortex and thalamus region, which could be consistent with a vascular lesion, cholesterol granuloma or a mass. The mare was monitored, and as her condition slightly improved, was discharged from the hospital. Four weeks later, the clinical signs recurred and as the ataxia presented a danger for the mare and anyone handling her, the decision was made to euthanise the mare. A post-mortem CT scan of the head revealed an enlargement of the previous lesion, and the histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a haemorrhage within the brain, associated with neoplastic emboli. Haemorrhagic stroke has not previously been well described in horses therefore presents a challenge in diagnosis.

The foal presented with a traumatic short oblique scapular neck fracture. Fracture fixation was performed under general anaesthesia using two anatomically pre-shaped 3.5 mm TPLO locking plates; one on each side of the spine of the scapula. Fracture fixation was successful using two TPLO locking plates. Minimal soft tissue manipulation and identification of the suprascapular nerve allowed for relatively atraumatic application of the implants. The implants were left in place. Follow-up evaluation 2 years after surgical intervention confirmed the horse to be sound with no clinical or gait abnormalities. Stabilisation of a short oblique scapular neck fracture in a 2-week-old foal with an anatomically pre-shaped implant led to a good outcome in this case report. No complications were encountered during the recovery period. The use of an anatomically pre-shaped locking plate intended for use on dogs, which is widely available in the veterinary industry, has proven to be a viable alternative for a scapular neck fracture fixation in this foal.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11786,"journal":{"name":"Equine Veterinary Education","volume":"37 1","pages":"e6-e10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142764189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These medications are often used preventively to modify the behavioural response to stress in ungulate prey species, for example, to facilitate transportation and/or introduction into a new area, group or herd. Zuclopenthixol is a long-acting neuroleptic (LAN) or antipsychotic agent that has been used to facilitate wildlife translocation in conservation projects. In human medicine, this drug is used to treat psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and psychosis. It is a long-acting dopamine D1 and D2 receptor antagonist, with a duration of action of 3–4 days (acetate ester) up to 2–3 weeks (decanoate) in wild ungulates, depending on the pharmaceutical formulation (Swan, &lt;span&gt;1993&lt;/span&gt;; Read, &lt;span&gt;2002&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our understanding of equine behaviour and in particular learning theory, has deepened over the past few years. We now recognise that most problematic behaviours can quickly be resolved with appropriate training (McLean &amp; Christensen, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Pearson, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;) and this knowledge should markedly reduce the need for psychopharmaceutical use during the routine management of horses. Yet, as this knowledge is still not embedded into mainstream equestrianism, and considering we know most people overestimate their understanding of horse behaviour (Warren-Smith &amp; McGreevy, &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;; Wentworth-Stanley, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;; Pearson et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;), psychopharmaceuticals remain an attractive option to many. Moreover, some problematic behaviours coincide with marked levels of emotions such as fear, which impairs a horse's ability to learn. By directly reducing fear, judicious psychopharmaceutical use may optimise retraining, improve welfare and maximise safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When it comes to pharmacological behavioural modification in horses, there is an intricate ethical balance between safely promoting equine welfare during stressful events versus the inherent risks of abuse. Antipsychotics like zuclopenthixol are also classified as neuroleptics or major tranquilisers, as they superficially appear to reduce agitation and have a resultant calming effect. This is why this class of drug has a high potential for abuse in equine sports. They have been denoted ‘banned substances’ by the Fédération Equestrian Internationale (FEI) as they are considered to have no legitimate use in equine medicine (FEI equine prohibited substance list, https://inside.fei.org/fei/cleansport/ad-h/prohibited-list), and they are likewise prohibited in horseracing (International Federation of Horseracing Authorities, International Agreement on Breeding, Racing and Wagering, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). A true anxiolytic reduces fear while allowing the animal to otherwise function normally, however, antipsychotics reduce motor activity and blunt all emotional responsiveness (Cromwell-Davies &amp; Landsberg, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;).
