Am curious to know if this is avail inthe UK and if anyone has used it. Friends just used it on their pony (in NZ) and its shown up an issue in a leg that physical exams were unable to find. Curious to know more about this.
Anyone used Equine Thermography to help diagnose issues??

I'm here!!!
I've used it and found it very helpful.
One of my horses was lame in front and on the right hand side. there was no obvious sign of anything. i had the vet out. We kept him on box rest for a week on bute and then looked at him again. Yes the bute made a difference but not much. The vet was talking about nerve blocks to identify where the issue was.
Anyway ended up getting him thermal scanned instead and saw it was all muscle issues. This in turn led us to monitor him on the CCTV and he ended up being diagnosed as suffering from narcolepsy.

I would love to use this on one of ours but cannot find anyone who does it in the Oxon/Berks area.

the girl I use is based in Staffordshire. It might be possible that if you organised a group of people she would travel.

Great to see the pics, just be careful who interprets them for you.
Have used the girl in Staffordshire as well, but when I showed the scans to the vets, they gave me a very different interpretation to what she told me!
