COURSE DESCRIPTION
The lectures and practical sessions of this course provide the equine practitioner with the knowledge and practical skills to confidently deal with the neonatal and post-neonatal foal in first opinion practice and with the decision making when to refer to a dedicated neonatal intensive care unit.
The world-renowned panel of foal care experts consisting of Professor Pam Wilkins (Univ. of Illinois, USA) and Emily Floyd (Rossdales Equine Hospital, Newmarket, UK) will share their wealth of experience through the following highly-illustrated interactive lectures (in English, with Swedish moderation):
- Review of Normal Birth & The Healthy Foal
- Adverse Peripartum Events – Birth Resuscitation
- Initial Assessment of the Sick Foal
- Colostral Related Diseases of the Foal
- Musculoskeletal Deformities of the Foal
- The Dummy Foal
- The Septic Foal
- Infectious & Traumatic Orthopaedic Injuries of Foals
- The Uremic Foal
- Respiratory Problems of the Foal
- The Foal with Colic
- Fluid & Nutritional Management in the Field
The 4 hours of workshop on mannequins/specimens and PowerPoint case-based discussions in small groups will allow attendees to further develop their practical and decision-making skills under the watchful eyes of the specialists. Each attendee will be rotating through the following stations:
- Placement of an Over-the-Wire Catheter on a mannequin
- Use of Bandages, Splints & Casts on mannequins/specimens
- PowerPoint Case-Discussions – Imaging of the Foal in the Field
- Foal-side Quick Assessment Tests Lab
