Abstract
Foals are anaesthetized for a variety of reasons. Anaesthesia is needed in healthy foals for procedures as correction of angular limb deformities and congenital hernias or in sick foals for abdominal surgery like colic surgery or repair of a ruptured urinary bladder. According to the literature foals under age one week are 7 times more likely to develop an anaesthesia-related fatality compared to adult horses.
