Equine Lameness Exams
About Our Advanced Lameness Diagnostics Services
Bayshore Veterinary Hospital knows how important it is for your horse to move freely and comfortably. Our advanced equine lameness exams are designed to accurately diagnose any discomfort or mobility issues. We utilize cutting-edge diagnostic tools and techniques to pinpoint the root cause of lameness.
During the exam, we perform a detailed physical examination to assess your horse’s gait and posture. We also use diagnostic imaging like digital X-rays and ultrasound to uncover underlying issues. Additionally, we conduct joint flexion tests to evaluate specific pain or stiffness, as well as nerve and joint blocks to localize the source of lameness.
Our assessments also include evaluating hoof balance and shoeing. A comprehensive approach allows us to analyze movement and identify any abnormal patterns. After the evaluation, Bayshore Veterinary Hospital provides a detailed consultation to discuss our findings and develop a tailored treatment plan.
