CONTENT DESCRIPTION

The panel discussion can either be booked together with the webinar series on 'New Developments in Equine Wound Care' or as a stand alone offering.    All three panellists have vast experience with wound care in horses and will represent North American and European views and approaches to the international audience.   Each one of them holds strong views and opinions and they will debate the following controversial subjects:

  • Casts are not a safe way to manage wounds
  • Old Wounds – To close or not to close?
  • Wounds in areas of high motion (i.e. hock, carpus, fetlock & stifle) - Do they invariably break down?
  • Use of antibiotics in acute & chronic wound management - Are we being responsible in the dawn of the post-antibiotic era?

Clinical Interests: Equine Endoscopic Surgery including Laparoscopy, Arthroscopy and Flexible Endoscopy, Wound healing, Lameness. Research Interests: Laparoscopic Surgical Approaches, Wound Healing, Pain Relief, Teaching Methods
