- Large specialized stall designed for foaling and/or critical neonatal cases. The stall is able to physically separate the mare and foal to allow for safe medical care to be administered to the foal while the mare is still able to see, touch, and smell her foal. Examples of situations in which we use this stall include premature foals, neonatal diarrhea, pneumonia, and when the mare is aggressive towards the foal. These stalls can be heated and are set up for easy delivery of IV fluids and medications.
- 24-hour monitoring by experienced, professional staff. Foaling stalls are also set up for video monitoring.
- Humidified oxygen delivery system
- IV fluid therapy with Flo-Gard Volumetric Infusion Pump allows for precise monitoring of fluid intake
- IgG analysis measures the level of antibodies in the foal' s system available to fight infection
