Abstract
Synovial sepsis is a commonly encountered condition in neonatal foals that can have important repercussions for a foal's survival and future athletic career. In neonates, infection of the joints is commonly the result of haematogenous spread secondary to systemic sepsis. Septic neonatal foals present several additional challenges because of their age and the frequent occurrence of multi-system disease that needs to be considered when selecting appropriate treatment. This article reviews the diagnosis, pathogenesis and treatment of synovial sepsis in neonates with an emphasis on the additional concerns associated with managing foals of this age.
