Things I Wish I'd Known Sooner in Equine Disease Management

Chat / Q&A:

Talk Summary

In this event, a panel of prominent equine vets and behavioural researchers will provide a valuable insight into chronic disease management and preventative vaccination to improve uptake and optimise treatment outcomes. We will utilise real-life case studies to examine situations when owners might stop prescribed medications prematurely. The discussion will cover understanding chronic medical diseases such as PPID from both vet and owner perspectives, exploring how miscommunication could impact long-term care. Preventative strategies, including evidence supporting strangles vaccination will also be discussed, alongside potential barriers such as the misconception of cost as a major objection. The session will conclude with actionable advice on building better owner-vet concordance through clear, empathetic conversations. With live Q&A.
