The most complete and up-to-date program in Equine Reproductive and Neonatal Hospital Medicine in the online educational market”

In the first section of the program, we will study how a foal's gestational age influences the development of different types of pathologies and how this is a determining factor in establishing a prognosis for its development in adulthood. We will also learn how and when to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the newborn and the vital importance of correct performance and monitoring once carried out.

The main pathologies concerning neonates will then be studied with regard to the immune, neurological, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatic, musculoskeletal, urinary and endocrine systems. Most of the pathologies present a challenge for doctors since in neonatology many clinical signs are not so evident and specific, hence the importance of knowing how to correctly interpret the diagnostic methods in order to identify the origin and cause of the problem. It is important to emphasize that the treatment of any neonatal pathology should be done in hospital, due to the physical and metabolic immaturity of the newborn, which requires continuous support therapy in addition to the specific treatment of the relevant pathologies.

In the final section of the module, all types of supportive therapy including fluid therapy, antibiotherapy, analgesia and nutritional maintenance will also be studied. As well as this, the expendable materials in neonatology to perform these therapies will be analyzed. The correct use of these materials, the application of the correct supportive therapy, as well as the precise diagnosis and specific, prompt treatment of each pathology will guarantee a higher survival rate in neonatal medicine.

In the second part of the program, we will analyze the physiology and pathophysiology of the urinary system, as well as the different diagnostic methods. The diagnostic method for each pathology will be determined along with the method of interpreting the results obtained to establish the state of the process (acute or chronic) and its severity. This will allow us to evaluate each case, and interpret which ones require urgent hospital treatment and which ones can be treated through serial follow-ups by a home veterinarian.
