LAMENESS INVESTIGATION

EQUINE LAMENESS EVALUATION

Lameness denotes an alteration in the typical gait of a horse, often attributed to pain in a specific limb or region. Additionally, it can arise from factors such as mechanical constraints, neurological deficits, metabolic disturbances, and endocrine-related issues.

​

Bathurst Vet Services offers lameness investigations, encompassing:

• Palpation of affected joints and tendons

• Trot up and flexion tests

• Nerve blocks

• Radiography of joints or affected regions

• Ultrasonography of tendons and ligaments

​

Our comprehensive approach extends to both treatment and preventive measures.
