Direct line communication with your attending veterinarian and farrier establishes professional contact and enhances the potential for success.
To better serve you, Dr. Redden needs the following:
- Case history (including onset of injury and cause), age, breed, intended use, medication, prior treatment and response of your horse.
- A recent video and/or photographs of your horse. The video should reveal the extent of lameness, body language and eye expression when indicated. Very lame horses need to take only a step or two. CAUTION: Do not walk lame horses excessively. Dr. Redden needs to see specific detailed characteristics of your horse's foot/feet. When videoing or photographing the sides, front and rear of the foot, place the camera at ground level to prevent distortion.
Carefully pick up the foot and zoom in on the bottom when possible. Note: Do not force prolonged standing when bilateral lameness is involved.
- Recent lateral and D-P radiographs are essential components for all consultations. Dr. Redden prefers that the film reveal soft tissue, as well as bone, and have wall and ground markers. It is very important that the primary beam pass through the foot at the level of the palmar surface of PIII.
Dr. Redden's Complete Consultation has a $125 minimum fee.
(This rate has been reduced from $250 to help clients during the slow economy. If you need general advice, Dr. Redden may be able to help you without charging a fee. Please call Dr. Redden's office at 859-873-5294 for more information. )
