18.01.2022 What’s your diagnosis? This racehorse presented to us for a loud respiratory noise during fast work. One of our surgeons, Dr Alannah Norton, performed dynamic respiratory endoscopy (DRS) while the horse was exercising. ... These are still images of the horse’s larynx (throat) taken from the video recording. What do you think is happening here? Stay tuned for answers!

12.01.2022 Our newly installed Scintron Gamma camera provides the most sensitive bone scan imaging available to detect lameness injuries that have been difficult to diagnose. It works by first injecting a horse with a dye that binds to injured bone, then the camera highlights any injury hot spots, especially stress fractures. It’s invaluable in making a correct diagnosis, so we can develop the most effective treatment plan for your horse.

07.01.2022 See how we surgically manage a club foot. This weanling had severe contracture of the distal interphanlangeal (coffin) joint otherwise known as a club foot. We elected to cut the inferior check ligament and, in conjunction with our experienced farrier, fitted a shoe with a toe extension.... The after photo is just 24 hours after the operation and you can immediately see the massive improvement! This horse’s athletic prognosis should be excellent.

05.01.2022 It’s that time of year! Don’t forget to put your mares under lights. Under natural conditions, a mare begins to cycle in mid to late spring as a result of the lengthening daylight hours. Artificial lighting systems can be a reliable way to ‘trick’ mares into cycling earlier. If you begin early, most mares will start to cycle by early September. To provide artificial lighting you can simply leave barn lights on in the evening in order to mimic about 16 hours of daylight (betwe...en 7:00am and 11:00pm). Or you can use a light mask as an alternative talk to us about which one is right for your mare. www.gvequine.com.au/contact-us/
