Immediate care for newborn puppies, kittens, or foals, focusing on stabilization and ensuring proper breathing.

A condition where fetal heart rate drops below a critical threshold (typically <160 bpm), signifying a need for urgent intervention.

Reduced oxygen supply to the fetus.

A procedure to assess the physical condition of a newborn including skin turgor, color, and breathing.

Low blood volume in the mother.

Low calcium levels in the mother.

Low blood sugar levels in the newborn.

Surgical delivery of the fetus, often necessary due to maternal or fetal complications.

Newborn infants' inability to regulate their body temperature.

Controlled warming of the infant environment (not sudden increases) and use of warming devices.

Signs of dehydration in newborns, including cool skin and red mucous membranes.

Normal body temperature for newborns is 34.8°C to 38.3°C.

Assessing the sex of kittens by examining anogenital distance. The distance is typically 7.6 mm for females and 12.9 mm for males.

Recalling information actively from memory.

Kittens double their weight approximately every 7 - 10 days, during the first few weeks of life.

Puppies double their weight approximately every 10 - 12 days, during the first few weeks of life.

Administering fluids to dehydrated neonates using IV, IO, SQ, or IP routes. Warm fluids are recommended due to the immature renal system. Dosage is calculated in ml/kg/hr.

Dry mucous membranes are a key indicator of dehydration in neonates. This typically occurs with 5-7% dehydration.

Administer 2.5-5% dextrose in 0.9% NaCl intravenously. A dextrose bolus can be given IV or IO, but never subcutaneously.

Warm neonates slowly and gradually to prevent complications. Use methods like a circulating warm air blanket, warm water gloves, or an incubator.

A newborn puppy or kitten's temperature should be between 35.5 – 36.5°C at birth and 34.8 – 38.3°C during the first week.

When a newborn's temperature falls below 34.5°C, causing symptoms like shallow breathing, slow heart rate, and lack of intestinal movement.

Do not feed a hypothermic neonate as their GI system is impaired. Focus on correcting dehydration and hypothermia first.

Dry and pale oral mucous membranes indicate dehydration in newborn puppies and kittens.

Warm IV or IO fluids are used to correct dehydration in neonates.

The first milk produced by a mother after giving birth, rich in antibodies and essential nutrients for a newborn.

A newborn experiencing distress is indicated by a heart rate below 160 beats per minute, signaling reduced oxygen to the fetus.

Administering fluids intravenously or intraosseously to restore hydration in a newborn.

The typical, expected physical appearance of a newborn puppy or kitten.

Soft spots on the skull of a newborn that haven't fully closed yet.

A protrusion or bulge near the belly button where the umbilical cord was attached.
