perineum and anal sphincter is usually expedient

common perineal injury in the mare but rectovaginal fistula formation is still more frequent in

30
Q

second-degree
defects are rare in the ___ but not uncommon in

advisable to stitch deep
perineal wounds that have not perforated the anal
sphincter as soon as possible t/f

A

t

32
Q

Third-degree tears
with destruction of the sphincter and rectovaginal
fistulae should be stitched up as well t/f

A

f -
left to heal by granulation and
surgical reconstruction can be undertaken later if
necessary

33
Q

The extent of such defects is considerably reduced by

A

cicatrisation

34
Q

small, oblique fistulae in the mare does not close completely,
but in most cases a significant defect remain t/f

A

f - walang does not

35
Q

The clinical effects of a third-degree defect are
two-fold: continuous ____ of air into the
vagina and contamination of the vaginal lumen with
____ or, worse still, accumulation of ____ in its terminal segment

A

aspiration

36
Q

distorting the lumen, may lead to pooling
of urine cranial to the external urethral meatus.

A

pneuomovagina

37
Q

In both
species(cow and mare), therefore, sizeable cloacal lesions result
in ____and affected mares are also aesthetically unsuited for other uses because of perineal
incompetence

A

38
Q

to maintain a normal pregnancy are generally
found to have a caudally sited lesion of very
long diameter t/f

A

f - limited diameter

39
Q

Surgical intervention should be delayed until
all tissue surfaces are covered by _____ and
this usually takes 6 weeks or so

A

epithelium

40
Q

In the mares, the
____r is sometimes everted soon after
the injury occurs , but it is easily
replaced and retained if necessary with sutures.
There is no need for other treatment during the
intervening period except perhaps for_____ prophylaxis in the mare

A
