Because of the freezing rain on March 3, New Bolton Center rescheduled its "First Tuesday" lecture until 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, in Alumni Hall. Veterinarian Emilie Setlakwe will present "Tales from the NICU," about a "typical" day in the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The lecture is free but please register with Barbara Belt at beltb@vet.upenn.edu.
According to a press release from New Bolton: "Setlakwe, a resident in internal medicine with a special interest in neonatology, will tell the stories of several sick neonates treated in the NICU: foals, calves, goat kids, lambs, crias, and other species. Setlakwe will describe what caring for these sick neonates entails, including intensive care of 'mattress' and 'dummy' foals; high-risk pregnancy monitoring of pygmy goats; and treatment of crias that develop severe infections shortly after birth."
I've been to several of these talks and they are always fascinating.
Future lectures are: April 7: Dr. Meagan Smith, "New Points in Equine Acupuncture"; May 5: Dr. Dean Richardson, "Fixing Broken Horses"; and June 2: Dr. Laura Johnstone, "Treating Cancer in Horses."
