Clinical symptoms included coughing, nasal discharge, regurgitation, and lethargy. Endoscopic and ultrasonographic examinations revealed a complete esophageal obstruction caused by soft tissue stricture surrounding the esophageal lu-men. The tube esophagostomy, combined anterograde retrograde esophageal assess-ment, and endoscopic balloon dilation were sequentially applied for the stricture lesion, along with the critical care for the secondary complications. After treatment, the foal was allowed to eat ground feed, chopped hay, and milk, and showed improved vitality. The foal was discharged on post-admission day 35. balloon dilation foal esophagostomy pneumonia true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-03-28 14:07:34 2025-03-28 14:07:37 2025-03-29 04:14:36 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 299-305 no. 4 Vol. 61 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 636.1.09:617 1580-4003 10.26873/SVR-1832-2024 227590147 endoscopic.pdf endoscopic.pdf 1 F46225ED2CFE18949712715E9572C074 a3cc16d1c4cdcd886dd9361e1d65bb80ff017368f54a5512a4646a6a9b9f6f9d ba4eed9e-0bd4-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201134 https://www.slovetres.si/index.php/SVR/article/view/1832/740 1 967d6ce6-0bd4-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201132 Veterinarska fakulteta Slovenian veterinary research 0 0 0
