Horses are unable to vomit and are therefore susceptible to gastric rupture. Prior to administering fluids the technician should be certain that gastric pressure is normal and that excessive amounts of reflux (fluid) are not present. If fluids are unable to exit the stomach due to an obstruction or other medical problem, the horse should not receive additional fluids via the nasogastric route. The excessive fluid volume can increase gastric pressure and induce a rupture.
