Ep 30 - Equine Neurological Problems: Diagnosing and Treating

A Stride Above!

Welcome back to A Stride Above! In today’s episode, Dr. Colton Ramstrom joins Dr. Alberto Rullan as they tackle the challenging world of diagnosing and treating equine neurological problems. This is a significant and frequently encountered issue in equine veterinary practice. They discuss how to identify these problems when a horse may initially present with vague symptoms, like lameness or poor performance.
In this episode you’ll learn about:
•How to approach diagnosing neurological issues in horses, especially when they might not initially show obvious signs.
•What the connection is between neurological deficits and poor performance, emphasizing how spinal cord issues, particularly in the neck, can impact overall health and movement.
•The importance of consistent and ongoing treatment, as well as the necessity of regular diagnostics to tailor the appropriate treatment plan.
•Why even mild symptoms, such as a stiff neck, should be monitored closely and evaluated to ensure that any underlying neurological issues are identified and addressed promptly.
