Stringhalt

Further to our video from Wednesday, asking the mare to back up showed the characteristic hyperflexion of the hind limbs.

Quiz time

What if any issues are seen in this mare? What further tests could you perform to confirm your diagnosis?

💉Carpal Hygroma 💧 A hygroma is a fluid-filled cavity or bursa underneath the skin, that is usually painless and does not cause lameness. This one was examined, including radiographs and treated with drainage and corticosteroids. Prognosis is excellent for carpal hygroma with no lasting complications 🤗 #equinelife #veterinarymedicine #equineveterinarians #equineveterinarymedicine #equinevet #canberrahorses #mobileveterinaryservice #equine #sporthorses #horseriding

🤔Should you worry about hoof cracks? Hoof cracks can occur for many reasons, including changes in ground condition, inadequate nutrition, unbalanced hooves and lack of exercise. 🌾 🏇🏽 Depending on their size and location they can cause lameness, infection, abscess formation and even pedal bone damage. 🦠 Dr AJ has treated this hoof crack by removing it and stabilising the hoof wall via trimming. 👩🏼‍⚕️ #mobilevet #equineveterinarian #equinevet #equine #horseriding #horselife #lamenessexam #vetlife #horsevet #equestrainlife #canberrabusiness #hooftrimming

🫧 What is subcutaneous emphysema? 🫧 This boy suffered a deep wound to the chest area which resulted in air being sucked into the wound as he walked. Our team packed the wound with sterile material to seal the area, and manually expressed the trapped air that was present. In most cases the air will eventually resorb, but may require several weeks to do so. #mobilevet #canberrahorses #horselife #surgery #horsevet #fieldsurgeries #vetlife #equinevet

‼️Retained placenta If your mare hasn’t passed her placenta within 3 hours of foaling, seek veterinary treatment. Retained placenta, if not treated promptly can lead to sepsis, laminitis and even death. Here we were unsure of the time of foaling, so the owners tied some full water bottles into the placenta to give it more weight, until we arrived. Thankfully with medical treatment Dr Allie was able to remove the placenta in its entirety 🤗 #newbaby #foals #education #canberrahorses #familybusiness #equine #horselife #equinebreedingseason #artificialinsemination #horsebreeding #equinebreeding #foalmaking #mobilevet

This boy was very lucky to not cut any vital structures! Dr Allie has stitched him up and it should heal well in no time 🍀 🪡 #equineveterinarian #surgery #veterinarymedicine #sporthorses #horsevet #mobilevet #fieldsurgeries #stitchup

🩺 Dr AJ performed a tooth extraction under standing sedation with a local nerve block. The tooth had severe periodontal disease and you can see how discoloured it had become due to constant feed trapping and bacterial accumulation. 🦠 Periodontal disease is very common in horses and 95% of the time they show no symptoms. 😕 Is your horses dental exam up to date❓ #equineveterinarian #equinedentalvet #extraction #surgery #veterinarydentist #equinedentistry #veterinarymedicine #vetlife #sporthorses #horseriding #vetassistant

🩺 Dr AJ went to investigate an ongoing lameness and found this foreign body in the hoof. Our patient will now be much more comfortable! 🐎 #lamenessexam #sporthorses #equine #horseriding #veterinarymedicine #horsevet #canberrahorses #mobilevet

👩🏼‍⚕️Dr AJ has further qualifications in equine dentistry meaning she can not only identify and diagnose dental pathology, but she can treat, give pain relief and sedation, nerve blocks, perform surgery and prescribe any aftercare so that your horse or pony remains healthy, happy and pain free. 🩺💉💊 Is your dental provider qualified? #cutepatient #equineveterinarian #mobilevet #preventativecare #veterinarymedicine #veterinarydentist #equinedentalvet #portablecrush #equinedentistry #pathology #surgery #extraction

💉 Joint Injections 🐴 Joint injections are commonly performed to treat osteoarthritis. The powerful anti inflammatory effects can alleviate lameness and keep your horse performing at their best. Here you can see the normal joint fluid exiting the needle. #horsevet #veterinarymedicine #horselife #equestrainlife #preventativecare #education #lamenessexam #jointinjection #sporthorses
