Hey U!!!

Just passing along a little info.

✨ The Madigan Squeeze — hopefully something you’ll never need, but worth knowing about. ✨

It’s a technique used in newborn foals that seem “off” — not nursing, not bonding, kind of confused or wandering. This can be linked to Neonatal Maladjustment Syndrome (often called dummy foal). 🍼

When done correctly, a soft rope is gently placed around the foal’s chest to apply steady pressure for about 20 minutes. It mimics the pressure of being in the birth canal. 🔗 to video in comments shows how to do on foals/ calves and then goats/lambs

After it’s released, many foals become more alert within minutes and start acting more like a normal newborn — looking for the udder, stronger suck reflex, and better awareness. ⏳✨

Hopefully you’ll never have to use it — but if you do, it can make all the difference. 💛

This is another case of someone injecting banamine into what was supposed to be the muscular triangle of the neck. Either way, this horse ended up with Clostridium causing gangrene. The only treatment is to open the tissues up to the air with a procedure called a fasciotomy. Banamine otherwise known as flunixin meglumine should never be injected into the muscle, even though the label instructs you to give it intramuscular (IM) or intravenously (IV). This is a rare occurrence, but do you really want to risk, loss of life, loss of future performance, down time for this to heal, let alone have the vet bills? I know you don't, especially when another way is available. Either give it IV if you have been trained how to do this with out hitting an artery, because that is another trainwreck, causing seizures in the horse and any damage from going down in such a violent way. Or use the same injectable dosage and without using a needle on your syringe, just so you don't loose any on the ground, sq**rt about 3 mls in the mouth at 1 minute intervals until the entire dosage has been administered.
