The aim of this study was to evaluate the ocular findings in neonatal standaedbred foals within 48 hours of age and to study the development of menace response and tear secretion during the first month of life. The investigation was performed in 26v foals. retinal haemorrhages were recorded in 7/26 foals(26,9%). three of them had retinal haemorrhages in both eyes. Subconjunctival haemorrhages were also found in 6/26 foals(23,1%). All the animals did not show menace response during the first month of life. Tear secretion seemed to decrease during the second and third week of life, while during the fourth week increased again and seemed to come back to perinatal vaòues. Unilateral nuclear cataract was diagnosed in 1/26 foal.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ocular findings in neonatal standaedbred foals within 48 hours of age and to study the development of menace response and tear secretion during the first month of life. The investigation was performed in 26v foals. retinal haemorrhages were recorded in 7/26 foals(26,9%). three of them had retinal haemorrhages in both eyes. Subconjunctival haemorrhages were also found in 6/26 foals(23,1%). All the animals did not show menace response during the first month of life. Tear secretion seemed to decrease during the second and third week of life, while during the fourth week increased again and seemed to come back to perinatal vaòues. Unilateral nuclear cataract was diagnosed in 1/26 foal.
