New Perspectives on the Late-Term Mare and Newborn Foal

A successful perinatal program requires the collaborative efforts of those trained in reproduction and neonatology. In ambulatory situations, one person must often specialize in both areas; additionally, that person must have the equipment and expertise available to manage obstetrical complications and to provide neonatal resuscitation and nursing care. Periparturient complications during late ...

Acylcarnitines profile best predicts survival in horses with atypical myopathy

Equine atypical myopathy (AM) is caused by hypoglycin A intoxication and is characterized by a high fatality rate. Predictive estimation of survival in AM horses is necessary to prevent unnecessary suffering of animals that are unlikely to survive and to focus supportive therapy on horses with a possible favourable prognosis of survival. We hypothesized that outcome may be predicted early in th...
