Abstract

Veterinarska neonatologija je, kao i neonatologija u humanoj medicini, dio pedijatrije koji se
bavi zdravljem novorođenčadi. Interes rada veterinara neonatologa je zdravlje novorođene
životinje osobito ako je rođena prije vremena ili sa zdravstvenim problemom. Prvih 4 tjedna
nakon poroda ždrijebe prolazi kroz značajne fiziološke i razvojne promjene dok se prilagođava
novoj okolini i uspostavlja bitne funkcije za neovisan život. Ždrijebe se rađa bez potpuno
razvijenog imunološkog sustava te ovisi o prijenosu antitijela preko kolostruma. Stoga, ždrijebe
koje ne uspije pravilno sisati tijekom neposrednog razdoblja nakon poroda može brzo ući u
stanje hipoglikemije, slabosti i biti podložno za razvoj bolesti. Neke od češćih zdravstvenih
stanja koja se pojavljuju kod neonatalnih pacijenata su opisane u ovom radu. Od vitalne je
važnosti pravodobno prepoznati simptome koji upućuju na razvoj bolesti te na vrijeme započeti
s odgovarajućom terapijom.

Abstract (english)

Veterinary neonatology, like neonatology in human medicine, is a branch of pediatrics that
deals with the health of newborn animals. The focus of veterinarians specializing in
neonatology is the health of newborn animals, especially those born prematurely or with
health issues. During the first 4 weeks after birth, a foal undergoes significant physiological
and developmental changes as it adapts to its new environment and establishes essential
functions for independent living. Foals are born with an immature immune system and rely on
the transfer of antibodies through colostrum. Therefore, a foal that fails to suckle properly
during the immediate postpartum period can quickly develop hypoglycemia, weakness, and
be susceptible to disease. Some of the more common health conditions that occur in neonatal
patients are described in this paper. It is vital to promptly recognize symptoms indicating the
development of illness and to initiate appropriate therapy in a timely manner.
