In association with Axiom Veterinary Laboratories

In this webinar Zoë will use a number of cases to discuss the investigation of equine diarrhoea. She will talk about when investigation can be worthwhile, and the factors we should consider. She’ll look at the causes of diarrhoea and how different diagnostic modalities can be useful. Zoë will also explain how to get the most out of lab testing, maximising the likelihood of useful results.
