Equine dentistry is a crucial aspect of horse health! In this video we discuss equine dentistry in detail and provides tips and tricks for practitioners.

We cover a range of important topics, including the equipment that is necessary for performing a complete oral exam.

Additionally, we cover speculum options and head suspension, and provide recommendations for equipment brands.

Listen to experts talk about innovations in equine asthma! We explain in detail the various terminologies associated with asthma, the reasons why horses get it, and how to diagnose it correctly. We also emphasize the importance of environmental factors in the treatment of equine asthma, and provide valuable insights into the actual pharmacologic treatments available, such as steroids and bronchodilators.

Among may other things you’ll learn about how veterinarians hear from horse owners about a wide range of symptoms, from coughing to performance-related issues, and how the term "asthma" is more relevant and gets more research funding than previous terminology because the term "asthma" is more commonly understood by the general public and horse owners, leading to a greater chance of early detection and intervention.

Finally, we’ll discuss when to culture mares, such as at the end or beginning of the season, and whether it is okay to culture them in anesthesia or transition.

Dr. Clode also discusses the clinical signs to look for in horses with such deficiencies, such as ocular discharge or redness.

In addition to these techniques, Dr. Clode provides valuable insights on the use of sedation during opto exams. She highlights the situations where it may be necessary to achieve a more thorough examination of the eye, such as when dealing with a particularly anxious horse or when examining an area that is difficult to reach.
