Key information
About this course
The practitioner is often presented with a swollen joint in a wide variety of circumstances. We will explore the reasons for joint distension, the appropriate diagnostic process and when to perform each step, how to interpret the findings and what treatment to employ. The information will be highly practical and relevant to the equine practitioner.
Correct management of the swollen joint will frequently determine the outcome and prognosis. Delegates will learn which cases require more urgent intervention and what that should be. They will be given many practical hints and tips to help them work up and treat these cases. The course is aimed at new and recent
graduates with the aim of increasing their confidence in handling this common presenting complaint.
The course will focus on common conditions, what we should do initially and during follow up assessments. Case examples will be presented to clarify the information.
