Triaging the Sick Neonatal Foal
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.
Guttural Pouch Disease in the Equine Patient
Shana Filipek, CVT, VTS (EVN) guides participants on the anatomy and function of the guttural pouches, giving them a deeper understanding of their role in equine physiology. From there, she delves into the various types of guttural pouch diseases, including examining their etiology, clinical presentations, and treatment options.
Linking livestock welfare and veterinary medicine
Fear Free adds livestock management techniques to its curriculum, overseen by Temple Grandin, PhD, director of animal well-being. Dr. Grandin, professor of animal science at CSU, hopes Fear Free training will help encourage interest in the field, as well as continue to increase productivity and improve animal welfare.
