Phytobezoars are usually very hard and can cause a blockage in the intestines, causing a horse to colic. Horses have also been known to like the taste for persimmons, causing them to consume large quantities, if they have access to a persimmon tree in their pasture Persimmons phytobezoar (diospyrobezoar) obstruction is a rare but potentially fatal cause of colic in horses. Partially obstructive diospyrobezoars can be associated with colic, diarrhea, and/or weight loss. Historical knowledge of persimmon ingestion in horses presenting for signs of gastrointestinal disturbance warrants gastroduodenoscopy. 1 Persimmons phytobezoar (diospyrobezoar) obstruction is a rare but potentially fatal cause of colic in horses. Partially obstructive diospyrobezoars can be associated with colic, diarrhea, and/or weight loss. Historical knowledge of persimmon ingestion in horses presenting for signs of gastrointestinal disturbance warrants gastroduodenoscopy Various gastrointestinal concretions can develop in horses, including: Trichobezoar : a conglomeration of hair and minerals that build into rocks in the stomach and intestines. Phytobezoar : similar to trichobezoars, these are plant-based masses that mineralize and potentially block passage of ingesta through the gastrointestinal tract Clinical Findings —A diagnosis of phytobezoar caused by persimmon ingestion was made for all equids. Eight equids had gastric persimmon phytobezoars; 5 had enteric persimmon phytobezoars. Gastroscopy or gastroduodenoscopy revealed evidence of persimmon ingestion in 8 of 10 equids in which these procedures were performed
Phytobezoars are most common and consist of various undigested substances including lignin, cellulose, tannins, celery, pumpkin skin, grape skins, prunes, raisins, vegetables and fruits. Phytobezoars can form after eating persimmons and pineapples. These are more difficult to treat and are referred to as diospyrobezoars Breeding and Reproduction Horse breeding from planning through foal care; Banse and colleagues recently evaluated 13 equid cases in which persimmon ingestion had led to a phytobezoar, to. Successful treatment of phytobezoars (including persimmon bezoars) with intragastric diet or regular cola has been reported in both humans and horses. The mechanism by which cola helps dissolve persimmon phytobezoars is unknown but has been attributed to acidic pH, mucolytic effects of sodium bicarbonate, or disruption of fibers by carbon dioxide A bezoar in the esophagus is common in young children and in horses. In horses, it is known as choke. A bezoar in the large intestine is known as a fecalith. A bezoar in the trachea is called a tracheobezoar
Horses that require exploratory laparotomy to correct an intestinal obstruction have an overall longterm survival rate of 50%. The survival rate is lower for horses with hemorrhagic strangulating obstructions and small-intestinal lesions than for horses with simple obstructions, but early surgical intervention can improve the prognosis Gastric and enteric phytobezoars caused by ingestion of persimmon in equids J Am Vet Med Assoc. 2011.

Horses undergoing gastrotomy may be assumed to be at increased risk of peritonitis as a secondary consequence. Cases that develop peritonitis, as in this case, are likely to develop some degree of endotoxaemia and indeed the pyrexia and increased digital pulses noted.
While pet-owners don't feed persimmons to horses consciously, horses can find them fallen from trees and eat them on their own. The seeds and fibers of this fruit create phytobezoar and can lead to gastrointestinal blockages in horses Figure 1.Persimmon phytobezoar in the stomach. In October 1995, an 8-year-old female Quarter Horse with a 9-day history of colic was admitted to the Boren Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at Oklahoma State University. The referring veterinarian had treated the horse for mild colic possibly due to persimmon or acorn toxicity. Results of The horse made a complete recovery following removal of all phytobezoars. Persimmon phytobezoar should be considered in the fall and winter as a possible cause of lethargy, colic, and weight loss in horses allowed access to persimmon fruit According to their composition, they are classified into five types: phytobezoars, trichobezoars, medication bezoars, lactobezoars and food bolus. Phytobezoars, the most common type of bezoars, are composed of indigestible cellulose, tannin and lignin from ingested vegetables and fruits

All clinical records of horses admitted between April 1992 and February 2009 for esophageal obstruction were reviewed. The association among 24 clinical, hematological, biochemical, therapeutic variables and the likelihood of complications was investigated by a univariable logistic regression model, followed by multivariable analysis Not only can horses eat celery, but they should!- In moderation, of course. Celery is a great treat full of vitamins and nutrients. However, like some of our pickiest children, your horse may not enjoy it as much as others because of its slightly bitter taste To commemorate National Hairball Awareness Day on April 27, 2006, the museum featured a temporary display of 10 of these hairballs to explore the myths and realities behind these medical curiosities. Included were hairballs from a steer, two oxen, three cows, a calf, horse, and a chicken In this note we describe for the first time the inner structure of bezoars found in the stomach of a free-living crested porcupine. These foreign bodies were composed by three concentric layers made up of vegetal matter. The presence of nettle trichomes in the central core, probably due to an accidental ingestion, may have determined the development of these foreign bodies Kellam LL, Johnson PJ, Kramer J, and Keegan KG. 2000.

If masticated enough to swallow, the fiber and seeds can form a phytobezoar that can cause an intestinal impaction and colic. Horses will often pick up ripened fruits that fall to the ground. Avocado The common name for the avocado tree is alligator pear and it is very toxic for your horse. All parts, from leaves to the fruit, carry the toxin A phytobezoar is a gastrointestinal mass composed of vegetable matter. In humans most phytobezoars are found in the stomach and in the small intestine. 6 , 11 The most common phytobezoar in humans is caused by persimmon ingestion. 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 Horses are also commonly afflicted with persimmon phytobezoars, which can lead to potentially fatal.
Similar observations were made by Patel and Brace (1995). Gahlot et al. (2006) reported a case of oesophageal obstruction due to an oval and smooth tricho - phytobezoar in a cow. However, in the present case the tricho-phytobezoar was smooth and sphere shaped Large amounts of cocoa can kill a horse but even a small amount can result in big trouble. Persimmons Both the fibres and the seeds of this fruit can cause a sticky mass in a horse's digestive tract which is known as a phytobezoar. This can then become lodged and lead to a case of colic
Summary A 6-year-old Warmblood gelding was referred for treatment of a traumatic shoulder wound and while hospitalised developed a large gastric impaction which was unresponsive to medical management. Gastrotomy as a treatment for gastric impactions is rarely attempted in adult horses due to the limited surgical access to the stomach. This report describes the successful surgical treatment of. Phytobezoar (55% of all bezoars): Poorly digested vegetable fibers such as. Skin and seeds of fruits and vegetables. Oranges; Persimmons.

In contrast, a camelid with a colonic bezoar obstruction that leaves most of its intestinal absorptive epithelium functional is likely to have more obvious pain signs and develop. Phytobezoar is a mass of undigested food particles usually from fruits and vegetables such as celery, citrus fruits, coconut, pumpkins, grape skins, prunes, and raisins. Diospyrobezoars are bezoars that contain undigested persimmons. Whether that means eating a lot of persimmons can result in hairballs or hairballs are just hard to digest, I.

Stomach Blockage - Location, Symptoms and Causes. As with any hollow organ, a blockage may occur in the stomach which can affect its normal functioning. These blockages may be due to growths, thickening of the inlet or outlet, or pressure from outside the stomach which causes a narrowing. Blockages can lead to complications like dehydration. A phytobezoar is a type of bezoar, or trapped mass in the gastrointestinal system, that consists of components of indigestibleThe preferred treatment of bezoars includes different therapies and/or fragmentation to avoid surgery.
