Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of welcoming reporter Anne Pettersson, who joined us during one of our field visits. 🩺🐴

It resulted in a fantastic reportage that beautifully captures the reality of our daily work. We are very grateful for such a lovely meeting and for the professionally prepared report!

A special thank you also goes to the horse’s owner, who kindly agreed to take part in the report and made this collaboration possible. 🤍

You can watch the results of this project below, and read more in the article. 📖✨

🐴 Foaling Season Has Begun! 🐴

This week, we had the pleasure of caring for our first foal of the season. Thanks to engaged and educated breeder, we were asked to assess the newborn’s immunological status to ensure the foal is properly protected and prepared for a healthy start in life.

Why is this so important? 🤔

Foals are born without circulating antibodies, leaving them highly vulnerable to pathogens such as bacteria and viruses present in their environment. Their early immune protection depends entirely on antibodies absorbed from their mare’s colostrum (first milk). However, these antibodies can only pass through the intestinal barrier into the bloodstream during the first 24 hours of life (the possibility decreases to ca. 20-30% 12h after birth).
If this critical window is missed, administering additional colostrum orally will no longer be effective. In such cases, immunoglobulin levels can only be corrected through intravenous plasma transfusion.

Our recommendation 🚑

We strongly recommend performing an IgG SNAP test 12–24 hours after birth to evaluate the success of passive transfer. This timing allows sufficient absorption of antibodies from colostrum while ensuring that foals with inadequate immunity are identified and treated promptly.

When intervention is needed 🚨

For foals diagnosed with partial or complete failure of passive transfer, plasma transfusion provides an effective solution. After treatment, IgG levels are rechecked within 12–24 hours to confirm adequate immune protection. Some foals may require more than one transfusion to achieve optimal levels.

A critical reminder‼️

There is no substitute for properly assessing a foal’s immunological status. Even foals that appear bright and healthy can deteriorate rapidly and develop life-threatening conditions such as sepsis! Early testing and intervention are essential—and well worth it.

Vi önskar er en Glad Påsk! 🐣

We haven’t shared any updates in a while — mainly due to the intense workload we’ve been dealing with recently. We’re slowly finding our rhythm in this new situation and are incredibly grateful for your e-mails and calls. It truly means a lot to us!

Today, however, we’d like to share the story of our brave 26-year-old patient.

After a fight with a paddock mate, our patient suffered an open fracture of the splint bone (öppen griffelbensfraktur) in the hind leg. For several reasons, he could not be transported to a clinic. But instead of giving up, his owner decided to trust us.

The horse underwent surgery to remove the fractured splint bone under general anesthesia performed in field conditions.

Sten was incredibly brave, recovered well from anesthesia, and despite an initial infection, the wound healed very nicely. Today, he is back to enjoying time out on the paddock 🐎

We would like to thank the owner for fighting for her horse and for the trust she placed in us.
This is exactly why we do what we do!

See you out in the field! 🐴

What a first week!
We would like to say a huge thank you for the great interest in our services – your trust and all your messages truly mean a lot to us.

It has been a very intense first few days out in the field. Unfortunately, a cold is trying to slow us down, so this weekend we need to stay home and rest in order to return to work fully recovered on Monday.

We’ll be focusing on getting better and catching up on your many messages.
See you out in the field next week! 🐴
