Last year at Loch Leven Equine Practice 1 in 5 of all the horses put to sleep was down to laminitis. This figure has almost doubled from the previous year. In this podcast Jane Haden MRCVS joins Liz Somerville to chat through how owners can obj...

The Podcasting Equine VetsA Conversation about StranglesStrangles is a topic that seems to put the fear of God into most horse owners and it is also a diagnosis that as vets we dread getting.

Strangles is highly infectious and needs to be managed extremely carefully to make sure that we limit the spread and get the all clear for the yard as quickly as possible. Whilst it is incredibly frustrating for other liveries, thankfully more and more yards...
