Abstract
There are numerous causes of diarrhoea in neonates and older foals. As with adult horses, while cases can be managed symptomatically, a specific diagnosis is often challenging because of gaps in knowledge of the normal gastrointestinal flora and limitations in available diagnostic tests. Additionally, isolation of an organism from a faecal sample does not necessarily equal causation. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy is advisable in a young foal with all but the mildest diarrhoea, due to the high likelihood of bacteraemia occurring and therefore secondary complications.
