Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the doors of one of the UK’s largest equine veterinary hospitals? The most recent episode of Behind the Stable Door, in partnership with Coldstream, answers exactly that. Join us as we meet Clinical Directors Jonathan Anderson and Brian Reed for an exclusive tour of the equine hospital, which boasts one of the largest combinations of diagnostic equipment in the UK.
Learn about CT scans, MRI scans, scintigraphy (often termed ‘bone scans’), when they might be used and how the images they generate are interpreted by the specialists to diagnose various injuries and illnesses within the horse. We’ll also hear about anaesthesia vs standing surgeries, see where surgeries take place and the team effort that works hard to ensure their success, and take a look at the various ways of diagnosing lameness.
We hope you never have to see behind the scenes of a veterinary hospital with your own horse, but Behind the Stable Door provides fascinating insight into the modern diagnostic tools and advanced treatments available.
Watch this episode and others here, where we meet top riders and take a look around their yards.
