⭐⭐ Monthly Theme - Internal Medicine - Liver Disease ⭐⭐

The liver is one of the most important organs in the horse’s body. It is involved in many essential biological process and advanced liver disease where approximately 70% of the liver is affected can be life threatening.

There are many different causes of liver disease/ failure:

1. Toxic causes e.g. Ragwort poisoning, Mycotoxins.
2. Infectious causes e.g. Cholangiohepatitis, Tyzzer’s disease
3. Inflammatory, Non-infectious causes e.g. Chronic active hepatitis, Neoplasia
4. Metabolic causes e.g. hepatic lipidosis, hyperammoniaemia.
5. Obstructive causes e.g. biliary stones, right dorsal colon displacements (RDD).

Main signs of liver disease include: depression, inappetence, jaundice, weight loss, colic signs, Diarrhoea, neurological signs (due to hepatic encephalopathy= build up of toxins especially ammonia), photosensitization (inflamed, itchy skin).

Next week we will look into how to diagnose and then treat liver disease.

HELP REQUIRED.
Following approval from the land owner, the Club has located some concrete slabs to make a skeleton base for the two new sheds to lift them off the ground. I am however, currently struggling to find a strong person with a trailer (as they are heavy) to move these from Hockley Heath to the showground this Sunday (4th May). Please make contact with me (Sarah) if you are able to assist. Thank you in advance.
