What causes pain in horses? How can we help manage it? with Dr Kevin Haussler
Pain is one of the most common yet most misunderstood clinical problems in horses. This webinar explores how pain, nociception, behavior, performance, and musculoskeletal dysfunction are interconnected. Using clinical cases, neurophysiology, and current research, the discussion will focus on how horses express acute versus chronic pain—and why these signs are often missed or misinterpreted. Emphasis is placed on differentiating pain from learned behavior, understanding acute vs. chronic pain mechanisms, and evidence-based, multimodal pain management.
For all attendees, CPD certificates are available, as well as a “view only” recording of the webinar with a year access pass. There will also be a Q and A session with ample opportunity to post questions via our interactive Q&A panel.
