Equine 5 Flashcards
Describe 3 different provocation tests on the hind limb
Stifle flexion
Hock flexion
Fetlock flexion
Navicular wedge test
Describe 4 different provocation tests on the front limb
Shoulder flexion test
Carpal flexion
Elbow flexion
Fetlock region
Navicular wedge test
Lame horse with worsening lameness during training. The effected hock is cooler, saphenous vein is empty in contrast to the opposite vein. Following 30min rest the lameness is improving again. Diagnosis
Aortoiliac thrombosis
Horse with severe lameness. He can’t flex the hock and stifle, however he can flex the digits. He can support the limb and put full weight on it, while having the digits in extension. Diagnosis
upward fixation of patella
2 possible complications of IM drug administration
muscle soreness
abscess formation
How would you administer 1L of milk replacer to a 2 week old foal

A three year old standard bred cold was presented with acute severe lameness. What further radiographic views are needed to describe this disorder properly
lateromedial

3 most important points, which help you recognise which is the lame front limb
head and neck movement
hyperextension of fetlock
cranial phase longer
3 most important points, which help you recognise lameness on the hind limb
pelvis
fetlock
cranial phase is short
List 3 apical bony points above the carpus on the limb, which can be candidates for fracture
elbow joint
radius fracture?
Hoof – dist. Mc III.)
II) Dist. Mc III. - dist. Radius
III) Dist. Radius - Elbow joint
IV) Elbow joint - dist. Scapula
MCIII closed middiaphyseal fracture in a 300kg sport pony. List 3 things you must do, once you arrive
- stabilise the phalanx Technique - Little padding, but even surface (about 1 cm cotton-wool) up to carpus –
- tarsus -Elastic or „Gaze” bandage strongly pulled - 3. Fiberglass-cast on Carpus needs to be able to flex,
- align dorsal aspect & elevate heel, use enough gauze
What kind of external coaptation should be used for transporting a horse with a distal radius fracture
long splint?
Which branch of which nerve is innervating the suspensory lig (m interrosesus medius) origin on the hind limb
lateral plantar nerve which branches into med and lat plantar metatarsal nerves
What type of nerve fibres are anaesthetised during perineural blocks
Alpha, delta and C fibres
What kind of nerves are you blocking during low 4 point block of the front limbs. Name the nerves
N. digit palm (med+lat), N. metacarpals(med+lat) (branches of N.ulnaris. MUD!!!!!
What happens with the cranial phase of the stride during hind limb lameness
Cranial phase is shorter

Against which forces is the bone least resistant
Shear force
nstrument to examine the sensitivity of the hoof and inside linening structures
hoof tester?
What size in g needle is used on the dist extremity for the perineural blocks
18-25G
Inbetween which 2 muscle bellies do you have to insert your needle in order to anaesthetise the deep branch of the peroneal nerve
long and lateral digital extensor muscle
Antimicrobial therapy in horses with strangles that are otherwise stable, abscesses present. Can be contradicted. Why
Abscess can act as a place of resistance for bacteria, it can result in prolonged abscess formation
