This highly practical day will be based both onsite in Thurles Co Tipperary and the practicals held offsite in Holycross Co. Tipperary.
Equine Lameness & Radiography practical Day
A full day of hands-on practical lameness examination, diagnostic anaesthesia and radiography with real patients. Participants will receive training and hands on experience in radiography for orthopaedic lameness assessment and full radiographic screening procedures will be practiced and discussed. The practicalities and safety aspects of equine radiography will be covered.
Tips and techniques to obtain the best quality radiographs of feet, fetlocks, carpi, hocks, stifles, upper fore limbs, neck and back (for dorsal spinous processes) will be discussed and practiced. Assessment and interpretation of radiographs will be covered.
The course would be ideal for recently graduated veterinarians and nurses, interns and anyone wanting to improve their lameness, radiography and radiology skills. Participants will be encouraged to bring along or submit beforehand any radiography cases they want to discuss.
