January is the cruelest month, at least for the Saddle Club. The weather is miserable: cold, rainy, and muddy. No one can go riding outside, and everyone is sick and tired of being inside. The only things left to do are clean tack and ride in the indoor ring. The Saddle Club is bored--bored of riding and even of horses. So what can they do? Lisa decides to try her hand at needlepoint--can't get much further away from riding than that. Carole decides that this would be the perfect opportunity to write a great novel. And Stevie decides that a little time in the kitchen whipping up treats sounds like a great idea. Will these activities help them rediscover their love of horses? Or is the Saddle Club about to untack for good?
A 9-year-old Belgian gelding presented to Cornell's Equine and Nemo Farm Animal Hospital for a week-long history of fever, dull mentation and inappetence. The referring veterinarian submitted a PCR request for detection of Potomac horse fever (Neorickettsia risticii infection) and referred the gelding to Cornell for further evaluation and treatments pending this result. Physical examination at the time of admittance revealed tachycardia, tachypnea and hyperemic mucous membranes. These findings were consistent with endotoxemia, and due to the severity of this condition, supportive therapies were immediately initiated. Later that day, the PCR test result confirmed the diagnosis of Potomac horse fever. Antibiotic therapy was started, but did not resolve the gelding's fever. Additionally, the already severe ventral edema worsened and developed a bilateral distribution; the right side became painful on palpation. Cellulitis was presumptively diagnosed and the gelding was placed on a different course of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Just prior to discharge, the gelding became acutely lame on the left front limb presumably due to laminitis, a common complication of Potomac horse fever and cellulitis. Although, Potomac horse fever can be treated with antibiotics and often has a good prognosis, complications such as endotoxemia and laminitis are negative prognosticators that make Potomac horse fever a serious concern.
