VetCE on Demand: Triaging the Sick Neonatal Foal

Course overview

So, your client's mare delivered a live, apparently healthy, foal several days ago and now the newborn is deteriorating? This course focuses on the most common causes of illness in foals in the first few days of life, including sepsis, diarrhea, and more. It reviews risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnostics, and treatment for these conditions, focusing on key takeaways, including when to refer and what to do before sending the pair on their way to the hospital. Prompt intervention can greatly impact survival in critically ill foals and this course will help you to prepare to identify and triage the most likely causes of disease in equine neonates.
