Recognising Pain in Horses
When your horse is on anti inflammatory medication, it is important to know to be able to recognise the signs of pain
Navicular Syndrome
Navicular syndrome is a relatively common cause of forelimb lameness and the term is used to describe many different causes of pain from the navicular region – not just the navicular bone itself.
Male horse Hygiene
Male horses can require their sheath and penis to be cleaned to avoid infection and urinary problems.
Kissing Spines
Primary back pain associated with the bones of the back is more commonly referred to as ‘Kissing Spines’ – although there are other causes of bony back pain as well (eg articular facet or joint disease).
Joint Infections in Horses
Joint infections are the most common cause of emergency surgeries at our clinic.
Hormonal issues in mares
Cyclical changes in reproductive hormone levels can cause altered mood and behaviour in horses as well as humans.
Equine Influenza
We explain what equine flu is, and how to prevent and manage an outbreak.
Gastric Ulcers in Horses
Gastric ulcers can affect all types of horses and the only way they can be diagnosed is with a gastroscope.
Euthanasia
As a horse owner putting your horse to sleep (euthanised) can be the most difficult decision you will have to make. There can be a lot of information to process and decisions to make, which is why it is an important topic to talk about.
