Horse goes under knife
r,
* By Loriann Lowry >
Staff Writer
/
Especial Mahogany is a horse that is
trying CSUF veternarian Mike Thomas'
patience.
The four-year-old quarter horse mare
has been the subject of repeated attempts
by Thomas to surgically repair its damaged
reproductive system. A section of the
horse's birth canal and rectum was
damaged giving birth when the foal's
'hooves tore a four-to-live inch section of
tissue, rendering ,the horse useless as a
broodmare. Lspecial Mahogany was
donated to the CSUF horse unit by
comedian Red Skelton's wife last semester.
Thomas has tried to repair thc damage
three times with little success. Of the
^damaged tissue, only an inch has healed.
/the result of the initial surgery, Thomas
said.
According to Thomas, the primary rea¬
son for the lack of success is the location
of fhe damage. The rectal-vaginal area is a
high-stress, high-contamination area. Be¬
cause of constant stress on Hioc recon¬
structed tissues, the sutures were torVi out.
mining hours of tedious labor t>y Thomas.
"It's getting kind of discouraging."Thom-
as said after the third operation failed. A
low success rate is common in birth canal
and rectum injuries, he said.
Thomas said he hopes the mare can be
added to CSUF's quarter-horse breeding
program, but thafsuccessful surgery will
require different methods.
The broodmare has "still got the poten¬
tial there for complete repair." Thomas
said. c
The surgery is a two-stage operation. In
the first stage, the damaged membranous
tissues lining both the rectum and the
birth canal are reconstructed. The second
stage, which is dependent on a successful
first stage, involves reconstruction of the
vulva and anus, which were also damaged
in the delivery. Thomas said.
If further surgery fails, the mare can be
used as riding horse since it has already
had some basic training. Thomas said.
According to Dr. Anne Rodiek. an
instructor in the horse department, the
Skelton's would be interested in getting
the mare back if CSU F's breeding program
cannot use it.
