Horses neonatal animals

Supportive measures that would complement antimicrobial effectiveness and assist recovery of the animal from the infection should be provided. In neonatal animals, care must be taken to avoid a too-rapid rate of intravenous fluid administration. Fever may serve a useful purpose in infectious diseases, and the change in body temperature may be used to assess the progress of the infection. In the presence of an infectious diseased, the only indication for an antipyretic drug, e.g. aspirin or paracetamol (acetaminophen) in dogs but not in cats metamizole (dipyrone) or sodium salicylate administered intravenously to horses, is to decrease body temperature to below a dangerous level, 41°C (105.8°F). Concurrent therapy with a NSAID and an aminoglycoside antibiotic increases the risk of nephrotoxicity. If the infection is suspected to be contagious, the diseased and in-contact animals should be isolated. [Pg.232]

The "shock dose" concept is borrowed from small animal medicine. The shock dose for adult horses and neonatal foals is 50-80ml/kg crystalloid fluids. Depending on the perceived degree of hypovolemia, one-quarter to one-half of the shock dose is given as rapidly as possible (in less than 20 min) and the horse is reassessed. If the horse requires further fluid, another quarter of the shock dose is given and again the horse is reassessed. The final quarter of the shock dose is only given to severely hypovolemic horses. [Pg.348]
