  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 Musculoskeletal disorders involve the injuries of joints, nerves, muscles, tendons, spinal discs, and cartilage. Musculoskeletal problems are among the most prevalent problems in horses. Chronic laminitis and chronic joint diseases (osteoarthritis) are the most common conditions affecting horses.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 Abdominal pain
  3. ↑ Pleuropneumonia is defined as infection of the lungs and pleural space. In most instances, pleural infection develops secondary to bacterial pneumonia or penetrating thoracic wounds. Spontaneous pleuritis (without accompanying pneumonia) is uncommon in horses.
