Abstract
Chyloperitoneum is a potential cause of colic in horses.) Although rare in horses, chyloperitoneum can develop secondary to tearing o f mesenteric adhesions and rupture of mesenteric lymphatic vessels. The prognosis for horses with chyloperitoneum depends on the underlying cau se and the response to treatment.
