| There
is froth exuding from the nares. This is an indication of terminal
pulmonary edema. The edema fluid has lots of protein in it and
as the horse takes its last few gasps, that proteinaceous fluid gets
whipped into a froth that comes all the way up the trachea and out the
nares. |
|
| Well,
looky here. This is the reason for the froth at the nares.
This poor horse had lungs that were absolutely loaded with fluid.
Note the extensive accumulation of edematous fluid within the interlobular
septa and at the ventral margin. There is also hydrothorax. |
|
| Wow,
hydropericardium. There is WAY too much fluid within the pericardial
sac here. |
|
| A
close look at the papillary muscle of the myocardium reveals a focal
area of hemorrhage - this is very acute myocardial hemorrhage and necrosis. |
