Sick foals go downhill fast, so the foal unit and the team need to be ready before foaling season starts. Shana Filipek covers the equipment you will use and the common neonatal problems you will be nursing.
Includes the full recording (58 minutes), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.
Foaling season is no time to be learning on the job. This webinar helps you and your team get ready in advance.
You’ll start with setting up a foal unit and the equipment used for neonates: oxygen concentrators and portable oxygen tanks, the Bair Hugger, fluid pumps and the hot water pot for warming milk. You’ll then cover common foal illnesses, beginning with colostrum and failure of transfer of passive immunity (including IgG cut-offs, causes and when to give plasma), septic joints, persistent and patent urachus, neonatal maladjustment syndrome and the Madigan squeeze, and meconium and ascarid impactions.
The webinar finishes with foal diarrhoea. Non-infectious causes covered are foal heat diarrhoea, sand ingestion, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and lactose intolerance, and infectious causes are rotavirus, Salmonella, E. coli and Clostridium, along with Rhodococcus equi pneumonia, its diagnosis and treatment.
Presented by Shana Filipek, CVT, VTS-EVN.
