The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s (Penn Vet) First Tuesday Lecture for March has been rescheduled to Tuesday, March 24, at 6:30 p.m. due to the snowstorm last week.

Emilie Setlakwe, DVM, MSc, will describe a “typical” day in the life of a veterinarian at Penn Vet’s New Bolton Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) during her talk, “Tales from the NICU.” The presentation is part of the First Tuesday Lecture Series at Penn Vet’s New Bolton Center, 382 West Street Road, in Kennett Square.

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. Get a glimpse of what a “typical” day might be for a NICU veterinarian.

During the First Tuesday Lecture Series offers free lectures to the public on equine topics the first Tuesday of each month. This lecture will take place in New Bolton Center’s Alumni Hall. Due to limited seating, reservations are recommended and can be made by contacting Barbara Belt at beltb@vet.upenn.edu
