Program:

Friday, March 29, practical work (Equine Clinic, Weilerswist-Müggenhausen)

  • 9:00 – Clinical examination of cases with Stefan Gesell, Màrian Màtas Riera and Erica Tolar

We will work on horses with eye pathologies. The day will be divided into four sessions of 90 minutes each. In the first three sessions a new case is presented / session / instructor, but the group of participants changes, so the participants get an opportunity to experience each of the instructor’s routine clinical exam. The fourth 90 minutes session will be devoted to further examine cases already presented as deemed necessary, show special diagnostic techniques and discuss treatment options.

  • 18:00 – End

Saturday, March 30, case presentations (Hotel Weidenbrück)

  • 9:00 – Each case worked from the day before will be presented. This will include photos, eventually videos and history. Participants can comment on the diagnostic and treatment options.
