Traditional treatment approaches generally involve an extended, expensive period of confinement or inactivity. Further, researchers have determined that the prognosis for hind-limb PSD following conservative therapy (which generally consists of rest, with or without shockwave therapy and treatment with drugs such as corticosteroids) alone is poor, with only 14% of horses resuming full work without lameness for more than a year.
A horse’s eye is one of his most functional and aesthetically pleasing features, so when an eye injury occurs, it can be unsettling for both him and his owner. In this article, Bourne, who has a passion for equine ophthalmology, will outline the top five eye injuries she sees in her practice, as well as what to expect for treatment and recovery.
Owners commonly apply bandages to shield recent wounds or tendon or -ligament injuries, to protect during shipping or performance, and to prevent fluid accumulation in the limb (“stocking up”) during stall rest.
The term white line disease is actually a misnomer; the white line (the soft, fibrous inner layer of the hoof wall) itself is not affected. Rather, the infection takes hold in the area just in front of the epidermal laminae (the sensitive tissues that attach to the hoof wall and help suspend the coffin bone within the hoof capsule).
