A 5-week-old belgian colt was examined for colic of 12 hours duration after several episodes of diarrhea. Physical examination revealed signs of abdominal pain, mild dehydration and normal auscultable borborygmi in all abdominal quadrants. Distention of the cecum, large colon and small intestinal was evident on abdominal radiographs. The foal was treated medically as the owners declined surgery. The colt was euthanized because of continued deterioration and failure to respond to medical therapy. Post-mortem exam revealed the presence of a trichophytobezoar obstructing the distal part of the transverse colon.
一匹5周龄的比利时小马驹，在经历几次腹泻后，因持续12小时的绞痛接受检查。体格检查发现有腹痛、轻度脱水的体征，且所有腹部象限均可闻及正常的肠鸣音。腹部X光片显示盲肠、大结肠和小肠扩张。由于主人拒绝手术，这匹小马驹接受了药物治疗。由于病情持续恶化且对药物治疗无反应，这匹小马驹最终被实施安乐死。尸检发现横结肠远端有一个毛球阻塞。
