Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) techniques represent a fast straightforward means to monitor and diagnose equine patients. Inexpensive pocket ultrasound devices are increasingly being used as ‘an extension of the stethoscope’ to answer focused clinical questions.
During this webcast, Dr. Claire Underwood will cover some of the devices available along with techniques for equine abdominal POCUS. She will also discuss case examples of their use in monitoring and diagnosis.

In this webcast hosted by Dr. Alycia Chrenek, Dr. Jeff Caswell will provide an overview of Mycoplasma bovis pneumonia, arthritis, and otitis in beef and dairy calves, and individual-animal diagnosis. While he briefly touches on some details about the bacterium and its interaction with the calf's immune response, his presentation focuses on the different diseases caused by M. bovis. He discusses their clinical and pathologic appearance, as well as various approaches to individual-animal...

Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV) presents three distinct and contagious syndromes. Cattle can contract BCoV orally or by inhaling contaminated aerosols.
The first form, neonatal diarrhea, affects calves during their first weeks of life. It can persist for 3 to 6 days and can be fatal.
Then there's winter diarrhea, the second syndrome, which brings on watery diarrhea in adult cattle, sometimes mixed with blood. This can lead to depression, dehydration, and a temporary decrease in milk production...

Intestinal strangulation is constriction of the intestine by a band of tissue, ligament or blood vessel causing partial or complete intestinal obstruction. This retrospective study describes the clinical, laboratory and ultrasonographic findings, treatment and outcome of 60 cows with intestinal strangulation.
Data showed that general condition was abnormal in all cows (60/60), 23.3% (14/60) had nonspecific signs of pain, 40% (24/60) had signs of colic and 48.3% (29/60) had signs of somatic...

After calving a dairy cow, calcium requirements more than double to support the production of colostrum and milk. This leads to a physiological response to restore normal blood calcium levels in the cow.
Sometimes, calcium levels are not restored. A severe form of hypocalcemia, known as milk fever, can occur within 24 hours following calving. Additionally, a subclinical form of hypocalcemia may also occur, which does not present any specific clinical signs.
Epidemiological studies have...

Background: Radiological findings in the proximal sesamoid bones (sesamoids) are a persistent source of controversy at Thoroughbred sales, due to inconsistent classification and conflicting assignment of potential clinical importance.
Objectives: To define the prevalence of sesamoid findings on sales repository radiographs in yearling and 2-year-old Thoroughbreds and to analyse associations with racing performance. To track the changes in sesamoid findings between 1 and 2 years of age in...
