<FlashCard questions="3">
 
|q1=When does alloimmune haemalytic anaemia occur?
 
|a1=
 
*When a neonate inherits the sires blood type and drinks colostrum from the dam
 
*As the colostrum contains antibodies against the sire and thus the neonates red blood cells
 
|l1=Neonatal Isoerythrolysis
 
|q2=When does Neonatal Isoerythrolysis occur?
 
|a2=
 
*First pregnancy from a stallion with incompatible blood type to the mare
