horse with amazing draw- ings of muscles, joints, ten- dons, bone and the hoof to learn their functions. This helpful horse owner tool not only hones your skills for detecting lameness, it also arms you with preven- tative knowledge.
“We think that a visual approach to lame- ness will greatly help horse caregivers better under- stand the basics of lame- ness and how to recognize the signs or symptoms in their horse,” says Dr. Cathy Rae, equine Technical Ser- vices veterinarian for Pfiz- er Animal Health. “This understanding should help them detect lameness earli- er as well as guide them in knowing when to call their veterinarian.”
Video commentary by Dr. Nicola Cribb, assistant professor and equine sur- geon at the University of Guelph, and Dr. Ken Arm- strong, equine veterinarian and partner of Halton Equine Veterinary Ser- vices, explain how vets identify and assess lame- ness.
“I am pleased to help out with the ‘working with the vet’ section of the online tool,” says Arm- strong. “In the videos, I explain to horse owners a typical process that vets go through from lameness assessment to diagnosis. Because it’s a team effort between the vet and the owner, it’s important for owners to understand what the vet is doing and why.” Learn something new about lameness. Go to Equine Guelph’s ‘Toolbox’ at
www.EquineGuelph.ca and click on Lameness Lab. Pfizer Equine Divi- sion also sponsors, ‘Jour- ney through the Joints’ another tool to help horse owners understand inflam- mation and how it affects the health of their horses joints.
