Orala vätsketillskott till diarrékalvar – det kan verka lätt, men vänta tills jag har förklarat! Den grundläggande målsättningen vid behandling av kalvar med diarré är att återställa vätske- och syra/bas-balansen samt att säkra energitillförseln. Oftast gör man detta lättast och bäst mha oral vätsketerapi. I föreläsningen presenteras aspekter på sådan behandling, varvid balansen mellan snabb och effektiv korrigering av fysiologisk homeostas vs. förmagars och tunntarmens funktion och hälsa poängteras – behandling ska hjälpa, inte stjälpa!

Vertebral-related disorders include soft tissue, osseous and neurologic sources of pain.  A review of the relationship between axial skeleton pathology, lameness, and neurologic disorders will be discussed.  An in-depth review of osseous changes of the cervical articular processes and their potential role in neck pain will be presented.

Detailed spinal examination procedures will be discussed, which include static and dynamic observation, soft tissue palpation, osseous palpation, joint mobilization, and induced spinal reflexes.  The goal is to identify the presence, location and severity of pain, stiffness, and muscle hypertonicity.
