Friday night my gelding was diagnosed with proximal enteritis. His symptoms and treatment seem to be identical to anterior enteritis. What is the difference? Are the possible complications the same. They removed the stomach tube Monday morning, which my vet says is very promising. Does this have a tendency of re-occurance like other forms of colic? If the cause is unknown how do you keep it from re-occuring?

Hello Alicia,
They are the same. No reocurrence is not common and there are no known prevenitive measures.

Fred,
As stated in the paragraph before: there are no known preventive measures.
