  • Title: Abdominal surgery in neonatal foals.
    Author: Bryant JE, Gaughan EM.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2005 Aug; 21(2):511-35, viii. PubMed ID: 16051060.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal surgery in foals under 30 days old has become more common with improved neonatal care. Early recognition of a foal at risk and better nursing care have increased the survival rates of foals that require neonatal care. The success of improved neonatal care also has increased the need for accurate diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal, umbilical, and bladder disorders in these foals. This chapter focuses on the early and accurate diagnosis of specific disorders that require abdominal exploratory surgery and the specific treatment considerations and prognosis for these disorders.
