Events in May
Orthopaedic emergencies in horses are common occurrences and require a calm and confident approach to the injured horse and its owner/trainer. Often the equine practitioner has to take life-saving decisions and initiate critical treatments on the spot in order to give the horse a fighting chance. This 2-day practical course has been developed to equip veterinarians from mixed and equine practice with the required knowledge and the practical skills to examine injured horses and to carry out state-of-the-art therapy. This course very much focusses on decision-making in an equine orthopaedic emergency situation. Over the two days most orthopaedic emergency scenarios and how such cases can be approached will be extensively discussed and trained on live horses and cadavers. The management of acute and chronic wounds, including skin grafting techniques will also be covered.
