An intra-abdominal abscess was diagnosed in a 7-year-old mare by palpation per rectum and from abnormal clinicopathologic findings. Initial treatment with procaine penicillin for 21 days was unsuccessful in halting the deterioration of the physical condition of the mare. Surgical exploration of the abdomen revealed a mass in the wall of the left ventral colon. Drainage was achieved by marsupialization. Serratia marcescens was isolated from the abscess. Recovery appeared complete, and the mare has resumed broodmare capability.
通过直肠触诊和异常的临床病理检查结果，诊断出一匹7岁母马患有腹腔内脓肿。最初用普鲁卡因青霉素治疗21天，未能阻止母马身体状况的恶化。对腹部进行手术探查发现左腹侧结肠壁有一个肿块。通过袋形缝术进行引流。从脓肿中分离出粘质沙雷菌。母马似乎已完全康复，并恢复了繁殖能力。
