THIS HORSE PRESENTED FOR COLIC. RADIOGRAPHS SHOWED ENTEROLITHS (INTESTINAL STONES) IN THE COLON. THE HORSE IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO SURGERY. BEFORE REMOVING THE STONES, THE DOCTOR IS REMOVING THE INGESTA FROM THE COLON THROUGH AN INCISION MADE AT THE PELVIC FLEXOR. THE STONES WERE REMOVED FROM THE COLON, AND THE DOCTOR IS SUTURING THE ENTEROTOMY SITE. AN ADDITIONAL STONE WAS FOUND IN THE TRANSVERSE COLON. AFTER IT WAS REMOVED, THE INTESTINES WERE PLACED BACK INTO THE ABDOMEN AND IT WAS SUTURED. FOUR STONES IN ALL WERE REMOVED, EACH AVERAGING 2-3 POUNDS AND JUST LARGER THAN A SOFTBALL IN SIZE.
