Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rarely reported arrhythmia in otherwise healthy newborn foals, with a single case of cardioversion using procainamide administration described in the literature. Two neonatal Thoroughbred colts were presented to an equine hospital because of an irregularly irregular tachyarrhythmia and poor latching when trying to nurse. History, physical examination, and initial diagnostic testing including ECG and echocardiography confirmed AF without structural heart disease.

Gut bacterial communities have a profound influence on the health of humans and animals. Early-life gut microbial community structure influences the development of immunological competence and susceptibility to disease. For the Thoroughbred racehorse, the significance of early-life microbial colonisation events on subsequent health and athletic performance is unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) is a significant pneumonia-causing pathogen in foals, often leading to severe health issues and deaths.
- A study aimed to analyze changes in various blood components and immune markers in foals undergoing treatment with azithromycin-rifampicin over 14 days.
- Results showed a notable decrease in white blood cell counts, neutrophils, monocytes, and fibrinogen levels, along with increased IL-2 and IL-10 concentrations, suggesting that monitoring certain cytokines could provide insights into the immune response during R. equi pneumonia treatment.
