Lameness is a common cause of lost performance and can be extremely difficult to diagnose. Horses can frequently demonstrate lameness in more than one limb as they compensate for being uncomfortable in another. Our lameness work ups enable thorough examination of the limb/limbs affected and include specific luning and trot-up areas, diagnostic analgesia, digital radiography systems (x-rays) and stabling, if required.
Full video gastroscopies offer invaluable information in the diagnosis of equine gastric ulcers. A tube caontaining a digital video camera is inserted through the nose and into the stomach via the oesophagus to provide an informative view and accurate diagnosis.
E.C. Straiton and Partners are able to offer video endoscopy and bronchoscopy for the diagnosis and treatment of airway diseases. Bronchoalveolar lavage is a useful technique used in the diagnosis of inflammatory airway diseases such as COPD. Guttural pouch examination and medication provides invaluable access to the areas affected by strangles, chondroids or mycoses.
