About this course
Equine emergencies can be stressful and often require a coordinated team approach to ensure the best outcome. This is particularly true for foaling emergencies where the life of mare and foal are at risk and time is of upmost importance. Nurses play a key role in assessing and treating a wide variety of injuries, accidents and diseases and their expertise and patient care is indispensable when dealing with new-born foals. This course will refresh and expand your knowledge on key principles of foaling complications, foal care and other common equine emergencies. A key component of the course will focus on working effectively together as a team of veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses.
