Every vet should be required to watch this video. I have a horse who came up lame on a Saturday morning. I sent a video to my vet to see if it required an emergency visit (which I was more than willing to pay for!). She advised me to treat it like an abscess (even though I told her there was swelling above the fetlock) and bring him in Monday morning. It was NOT an abscess. The consequences were devastating. She skipped a step and assumed it was in that 80% chance that it was an abscess. I guess she had another big weekend planned and didn't want it interrupted. Ultimately, my horse and I paid the price.

Thank you, Dr. Schell! Love this video!

brilliant explanations, thanks for sharing your insights and knowledge

This is excellent and clear. Thank you!

So useful and very well explained, thanks a lot!

Thanks you sir 🙏🏽.

Thanks! Very helpful.

GREAT video!

thank you , very helpful

great info and video pls make more thanks

Very Good info that every owner should know :)

Thank you so much. I didn't choose the horse life, the horse life chose me. We have a lame horse today and I'm so far behind on the learning curve.

Great video subscribed 💕

Thank you...excellent

Cat video bomb. Loved it

Thanks. Very clear. My horse had cellulitis. A few months after he was well, he started hind leg shifting, then was really sick w fever for 5 wks, still small episodes of fever and shifting after that. Can joint inflamation/sepsis reoccur without swelling and heat, like can it be so deep it's hidden? Could he have gotten over any joint sepsis in the rear legs with only antibiotic and not had to be flushed. Anyone?

THANKS A LOT!

What’s best training or how long shud it take for horse to come back from hind sunspery nerve block

Thank you so much! Love this one too. Don't you examine the knee? If so, how to do it?

Good video

My leased horse just got out of a server lamanitic state. She could barely move and was out 3-4 months, she was a lesson horse so it posed a big problem. All's the fairer did was clean her two fronts (the badly lame ones) and shode the fronts, not the backs. Glad she's better. Also, have too deal with the often bad thrush she gets. So bad to the point of gooey feet. So sad.

Best approach when the horse won't put weight on his leg?

is hock wringing considered lame?

Very educational! Am worried my cutter (in profile pic) may be getting lame, he is only coming 12, was cutting till age 6, now it's just trails, but he can easily stumble when we canter, & he's walking slowly/gingerly to feed pan ... thanks again,

How long does it take for a horse sole to repair after a Farrier caused nail puncture? :-(

Nice video...thank-you. Do you think the shoes should always be removed at some point during a lameness exam? What do you think is going on with the lateral heel...(7:10) it looks sheared and under-run. Not to say this is causing any visible lameness now but is this something you would recommend correcting ?

To horse owners out there, the more thorough the history you can provide your veterinarian, the better job he/she can do with diagnosis. Not a criticism, but a suggestion. 😁

cat is lame :)
