This presentation will cover common muscle conditions impacting sport horses including forms of exertional rhabdomyolysis, myofibrillar myopathy, atrophy and genetic testing. Diagnosis including genetic testing, treatment and management will be discussed.
Muscle disorders can affect the performance and welfare of horses across a wide variety of breeds and disciplines. They can be at times difficult to recognise and challenging to treat. Join world renowned expert in neuromuscular disorders Stephanie Valberg for this discussion of the latest advances in the field to gain valuable insights which will allow you to better care for your performance horse patients affected by muscle disorders.
