A chronic wasting disease in a 16 month old Welsh pony filly is described. The animal died 26 days after the onset of illness which commenced with a sub-acute colic and was characterised by progressive loss of appetite and weight. Post-mortem examination revealed a total invagination of the caecum into the colon and it seemed logical to assume this invagination occurred at the start of the illness. A review of the literature showed that total caecal invagination produces 2 distinct clincal syndromes. It can occur either as an acute illness characterised by severe colic and death after about 10 days, or as a chronic wasting disease, such as the case presented here, which may not result in death for several weeks or even months.
描述了一匹16个月大的威尔士小母马驹患有的一种慢性消耗性疾病。该动物在疾病发作26天后死亡，疾病始于亚急性绞痛，其特征为食欲和体重逐渐下降。尸检发现盲肠完全套入结肠，推测这种套叠在疾病开始时就已发生似乎是合理的。文献回顾表明，盲肠完全套入会产生两种不同的临床综合征。它可能作为一种以严重绞痛为特征、约10天后死亡的急性疾病出现，也可能作为一种慢性消耗性疾病出现，如此处所述病例，可能在数周甚至数月内都不会导致死亡。
