I thought this was an interesting article. I haven’t dealt with a premature foal before but it seems like this could be a useful therapy in some cases!

Thanks for posting that article.

What an interesting idea. I think it could be really helpful in some cases.

Neat! I used to work in a large animal NICU and had these types of cases nonstop, so it’s always interesting to me to see new techniques!

Very interesting! When my preemie was at the hospital, his vet did reach out to some small animal rehab facilities that had water treadmills (like a horse Aquatred but smaller since he was roughly 60lbs at the time), but the logistics were going to be too complicated.
