Newborn Foal Care: The First Hours Matter

The first hours of a foalโ€™s life are critical for its health and survival. Right after birth, it is important to make sure the foal is breathing well and shows strong movement and alertness.

The foal should stand within the first hour and begin nursing within the first two hours. Colostrum intake during this period is essential, as it provides antibodies that protect the foalโ€™s immune system.

The umbilical stump should be properly disinfected to reduce the risk of infection. Monitoring the mare and foal closely during the first 24 hours helps identify any signs of weakness, difficulty nursing, or abnormal behavior.

Early veterinary evaluation ensures a healthy start and gives the foal the best chance to grow strong and thrive. The Louisiana Center for Equine Reproduction is prepared to assist foals in any reproductive-related situation, while Acadiana Equine Hospital is ready to provide care in any health concern or emergency, ensuring support for both mare and foal when it matters most.

๐Ÿพ Meet Mr. Moochie โ€” the newest (and bravest!) member of the Acadiana Equine family! ๐Ÿพ

Mr. Moochie came to us after a serious accident involving a horse, leaving his little leg severely injured. Even though we donโ€™t typically treat cats, our team didnโ€™t hesitate for a second โ€” we stepped in with hearts wide open and did everything we could to save his life. ๐Ÿ’™

Thanks to the quick action and skilled hands of Dr. Kristen, Mr. Moochie underwent a successful surgery to remove his injured leg and give him a pain-free future. The procedure went beautifully, and this tiny warrior handled every part of it like a true champion.

Today, Mr. Moochie is fully recovered โ€” a happy, energetic tripod kitten who doesnโ€™t let anything slow him down. Heโ€™s living proof that resilience comes in small, fluffy packages.

A good routine of warm water, proper forage, and regular exercise can make a big difference. Pay attention to early signsโ€”reduced manure, lack of appetite, or unusual behavior.

If you notice anything off, donโ€™t wait. Call us here at Acadiana Equine Hospital. Prevention and quick action save lives!๐Ÿด
