Weight loss in the horse is a frequently encountered problem in practice; however, finding the cause often remains a diagnostic challenge. This might be in part because weight loss is a complex problem with numerous possible mechanisms underlying it and, therefore detecting the dysfunctional body system involved sometimes proves difficult. It is also possible that the clinician is under pressure to reach a diagnosis in the most cost-effective manner, which, if weight loss occurs in the absence of other concomitant clinical signs, can make selecting the most appropriate diagnostic more difficult. There are few current resources available to the clinician that provide a comprehensive approach to weight loss in the horse.

This two-part course consists of one proceedings paper and the accompanying 2019 AAEP Convention presentation. The video has been split into two parts for ease of download and viewing; as one video part concludes, the next will unlock.
