Has anyone here had Infrared Thermography on their horse by someone other than a vet, and found anything really helpful? And if so, how has it benefited you and your horse?
I'm just interested to hear your stories because I've seen someone advertising they can visit yards with their gadget. Are the technicians performing Infrared Thermography highly qualified professionals and regulated by some sort of organisation? Or could it just be Joe Blogs from down the pub, after having attended a week long course in how to take pretty pictures?
What I really want to know is whether they possess the skills to identify a horse has a particular problem previously undetected by a vet? I suppose if they could pinpoint a problem you could then get the vet to fully investigate it, which would reduce vet fees in the long run, as well as speed up the horses recovery.
