Are uroabdomens more common in fillies or colts?

Explanation:
Uroabdomen is urine leaking into the peritoneal cavity from a ruptured bladder. In foals, this problem occurs more often in colts than in fillies, likely because neonatal male foals experience perinatal stresses and trauma that predispose bladder rupture when the bladder is full. So among the horses affected, colts are the more frequent presentation.
