Within a few minutes to an hour or two after birth. The sooner a calf nurses, the better.

Probably not, at birth and at every doctor's appointment nurses and doctors listen for breath sounds on both sides of the body. Part of the newborn assessment is to observe for bilateral breath sounds and the bilateral rise and fall of the chest. It is very unlikely that someone with one lung would pass all of these inspections.
Newborn foals are thin on purpose. This allows them to pass through the birth canal much more easily than if they were plump and fat. The foal will gain weight as it nurses and gets a bit older.
Yes, doctors still use the Apgar Newborn Scoring System, a quick assessment tool developed in 1952 to evaluate a newborn's health immediately after birth. The score is based on five criteria: appearance, pulse, grimace response, activity, and respiration, each rated from 0 to 2, for a total score ranging from 0 to 10. It helps healthcare providers identify infants who may need immediate medical attention. While it remains widely used, it is often supplemented with other assessments for a comprehensive evaluation of newborn health.
