The most complete and updated program in Infrequent Equine Hospital Pathologies in the online educational market"

In the case of neurological diseases, injury localization is the cornerstone of the diagnostic process. The possibilities of diagnostic imaging are becoming more and more advanced, but require specific facilities and specialized knowledge for their interpretation. In the case of neuromuscular diseases, anatomopathological diagnosis is crucial in most of them, along with analytical alterations.

Hospital treatment of neurological pathologies is based on a common generic treatment of stabilization and support combined with specific treatments depending on the etiology. It is of special importance the intensive care that the horse that is in decubitus due to one of these pathologies must receive, since the possible complications are serious and frequent. Supportive hospital treatment is also common to most myopathies, with renal protection and stabilization of electrolyte disorders, that frequently appear in these pathologies, being essential. Post-hospitalization changes in management, nutrition and exercise are a very important part of the medical therapy, as well as its regular monitoring to avoid relapses.

The doctor should know the prevalence of the different neurological diseases according to the neuro-localization suggested by the symptoms and be able to develop a list of relevant differential diagnoses. The same is true for muscular pathologies where the prevalence is closely related to breed and sporting disciplines. 

Endocrine therapies are very diverse and, at the same time, specific to the pathology, but one of their successes consists of continuous monitoring of patients in order to adjust the established therapeutic doses. In this module, we will study how in many cases the hospitalization of these patients facilitates the diagnosis by dynamic methods and the adequacy of treatments.

Dermatological Diseases represent one of the main causes of consultation in equine clinics. The first section provides a diagnostic approach to horses with skin problems, as well as the main diagnostic methods.
