Equine Pain Workshop
Event description
In pain or being a pain?
An Interactive Professional Development Workshop for Veterinarians, Veterinary Nurses and Equine Physiotherapists
When a horse presents with an unwanted behaviour, from aggression to bucking, reluctance to go forwards to just generally appearing unhappy, how do we differentiate clinical pain from a behaviour problem? This workshop will consist of a series of lectures and discussion from specialist veterinary surgeons working in the fields of behavioural medicine, orthopaedics, and internal medicine, followed by an interactive case discussion.
