This highly practical course will provide equine practitioners with the knowledge and practical skills to competently examine, diagnose and treat horses affected by neck conditions through the following practical sessions: Neurologic examination (ataxia vs. lameness), CSF tap techniques (incl. US-guidance), neck ultrasound, facet joint injections, x-ray of the neck/head, guttural pouch endoscopy, nerve blocks for headshakers, neck conditions case-discussions, cervical fusion surgery & myelogram demonstrations.
