ARTICLES

Stay informed with our topical articles, all written by our equine vets.

Case study: Mr T’s melanoma

Meet Mr T, who earlier this year developed a slight swelling on the left hand side of his back, under the saddle region. He didn’t seem overly bothered about this swelling, but his owner asked Sarah to check it out as they were concerned that it was steadily growing bigger.

Sycamore poisoning

Sycamore poisoning, also known as atypical myopathy is a highly fatal muscle disorder that occurs following the ingestion of sycamore seeds or leaves in autumn, or seedlings in spring, that contain the hypoglycin A toxin.

Canker

Max presented after his owner noticed the frogs of his feet had become soft and irregular. Upon examination it was clear that he was suffering from Canker in three out of four feet.

Guttural pouch mycosis

Ralph recently presented due to the development of mild head shaking behaviour and an abnormal respiratory noise when ridden. He subsequently developed an orange coloured nasal discharge but was otherwise well.

Double trouble

Sally was at stud to foal down and was noted to be going into the early stages of labour. However, it was soon apparent that she wasn’t progressing as expected – two legs had appeared but she was struggling and seemed exceptionally painful!

A calcinosis circumscripta conundrum

Occasionally as a vet, there are cases that exercise our brains VERY hard! This was certainly the case with Zeus, a two year old gelding who was found severely lame on his left hind limb whilst out grazing.
