Lameness in the Foot Topics
- What are some of the most common issues veterinarians face when called out to see a "lame" horse?
- Why is history so important to a lameness diagnosis?
- Can you discuss why and how vets and farriers need to use conformation in their lameness diagnoses?
- You have said over 70% of forelimb lamenesses affect the foot. What is your "system" for working up a lameness of the foot?
- Can you talk about applying good farriery rather than applying appliances to help a lame horse?
