UPDATE: Bruno has made HUGE progress. We are battling neonatal maladjustment syndrome (dummy foal) with a full compliment of: unable to stand unassisted, unable to latch & nurse and a patent urachus (umbilicus leaked urine). The last 36 hours have been a true test of faith. From assisting him to his feet once an hour around the clock, to bottle feeding with colostrum from his mother every hour on the hour around the clock to extra frequent naval dips along with antibiotics and supportive medications ... he has now checked ALL of the boxes!!! He even threw feet at me tonight when I checked his temp, but thats ok, I'll take it. Hes now able to stand unassisted, able to latch and nurse at will, he has no more urine dribbling and his IgG is greater than 800!!! This little man is already a champion!!
