چکیده
Examination Facility Evaluation Facilities vary widely on farms, and difficulties with patient restraint, lack of water or electricity, and occasionally access to the patient are some of the many challenges an ambulatory veterinarian is presented with when asked to examine a horse with colic. Upon arrival at a farm, the veterinarian should begin to look critically at the facilities and determine what is available to safely examine the horse, administer intravenous fluids, and perform a rectal exam. Is there sufficient shelter? Is running water available? Is there enough electricity to power an ultrasound? These are all questions that must be considered in developing a plan for evaluating and treating the horse with colic.
