A 34 months old Colombian creole mare was referred to veterinary clinic of CES University, in Medellin (Colombia), for the surgical extraction of chondroids in both guttural pouch. The patient was intervened by standing surgery using neuroleptanalgesia. The modified Whitehouse technique was subsequently performed on each guttural pouch to extract all the chondroids. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment, pre and postsurgical, was systemically administered using trimethoprim/sulfadiazine and flunixin meglumine, as well as local sodium penicillin G. After the intervention, the patient was discharged without complications and its respiratory condition came to complete solution. This case report will allow knowing in detail the modified Whitehouse surgical technique along with its surgical challenges and considerations. In Colombia, to date, there are no reports of its use in CCH.
