Neonatology - intensive care

Professional intervention might be necessary when you observe one of the following symptoms:

• weakness after birth (i.e dummy-foal)
• failure of passive transfer (the foal did not receive enough colostrum within the first 24h after birth)
• icterus or neonatal isoerythrolysis (the antibodies of the mare attack the red blood cells of her own foal)
• aggressive mare
• foal with symptoms of colic (i.e. meconium impaction, rupture of the bladder)
• infection of the umbilicus
• severe diarrhoea
• nervous signs

Specialised veterinarians and a group of foal nurses are always ready to give the best therapy to your sick foal. Foal and mare are put in a separate part of the stable so that the mare keeps contact with the foal during the treatment. Specialised exams such as ultrasonography, radiography, blood analysis,... can be performed in-house.
