Lame
Lameness exams are kinda fun, but I need to become a lot more familiar with normal (and abnormal) horse movement before I take off into the real world. Thankfully, I'm taking Equine Lameness next spring.
Today in surgery lab we did exams on four horses. My group figured out the general area of lameness on three of them. On the fourth, we found the most acute cause of potential lameness but failed to find the more chronic cause.
A first for me today: doing a shoulder flexion test on a horse. Pull a front leg forward, hold on for a minute, let it go and see if the lameness gets worse.
It's only 5:20 pm on a Tuesday and I can (may) actually go home. Yippee!
And I hear tell that there is no class tomorrow morning -- study time, yeah!
