Return of a racehorse to racing after iatrogenic lipoid pneumonia
Summary There is a paucity of literature describing equine lipoid pneumonia (LP) caused by inadvertent intrapulmonary administration of liquid paraffin (mineral oil). This case report improves our understanding of LP by describing; (1) the first reported return of a horse to racing after LP, (2) the likely benefits of prolonged dexamethasone administration, (3) the detailed short‐ and long‐term pulmonary and systemic responses to intrapulmonary liquid paraffin and (4) the prolonged pulmonary retention of liquid paraffin.
