This webinar will go through the various radiographic views and when to use them.We will also show how to ultrasound all sides of the hock with examples of pathology. With more medical treatment options than ever we will discuss when to offer surgical treatments as well as when and what to medicate with. 

Why do this course?
This webinar is aimed at vets who regularly see lame horses and want to improve their diagnostic capabilities.
