In this session: So, your client's mare delivered a live, apparently healthy foal several days ago and now he/she is deteriorating? This discussion focuses on the most common causes of illness in foals in the first few days of life, including sepsis, diarrhea, and more. Emily Barrell, DVM, MSc, DACVIM-LAIM, 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 discussion will leave you feeling prepared to identify and triage the most likely causes of disease in equine neonates.
