CHOEZ A, Katherine  and  CHAVERA C, Alfonso. Anatomopathological Lesions Produced by Prolonged Doses of Phenylbutazone in a Race Horse. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2017, vol.28, n.4, pp.1055-1062. ISSN 1609-9117.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v28i4.13891.

The present paper describes the case of a two-year-old filly who developed severe gastrointestinal lesions after receiving prolonged doses of phenylbutazone when treating a fracture in the right forelimb. Necropsy findings revealed severe acute diffuse catarrahhemorrhagic-ulcerative gastritis and submucosal edema and severe diffuse acute mucohemorrhagic enterocolitis and splenomegaly with severe acute passive congestion. The cause of death was due to cardio-respiratory arrest and coagulopathy with circulatory disturbance and gastric ulcerogenic process associated with iatrogenic shock by phenylbutazone

Keywords : pathological lesions; phenylbutazone; equine.
