๐Ÿ”” Survey Reminder ๐Ÿ””

Calling all equine veterinarians!

Tarleton State Animal Science is conducting a survey on Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) in foalsโ€”the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia in young horses, often resulting in severe lung abscessation and potentially fatal outcomes. Weโ€™re seeking your clinical insights on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies. Your anonymous input will help guide future research and improve foal health outcomes.
