question 91 1 pts
a newborn foal is noticed walking with exaggerated steps and holding itself up with a wide - based stance. what is the likely cause of this?
sleepy foal disease
joint infection
cranial nerve deficits due to congenital dysfunction
this is normal

Explanation:

Newborn foals often have an uncoordinated gait with exaggerated steps and a wide - based stance as they are learning to balance and control their bodies. This is a normal part of their early development. Sleepy foal disease typically presents with lethargy, joint infection would cause lameness and pain - related signs, and cranial nerve deficits would have more specific neurological symptoms not just an abnormal gait pattern typical of a young foal finding its way.

Answer:

This is normal
