Ji Ann Greenberg, Sydney Hoff, and Raquel R. Rech
Clinical History: An 18-year-old, American Paint mare presented for acute colic for a suspected colon torsion. On presentation, the blood and abdominal lactate were 1.3 mmol/L (normal range 0-2 mmol/L) and 5.3 mmol/L (normal range <2 mmol/L), respectively.
