Thermography

Has anyone had any experience of this as a diagnostic tool?

Also, does anyone know if there is anyone who practices this in Yorkshire or the North East of England?
Or if there are people who are prepared to travel from other parts of the country.

Thankyou!

Peter Richmond does it in North Yorkshire.

My friend had this done and picked up a hock problem that her usual vet couldnt find

i am really interested in this too, if anyone knows anyone who does it in Cambs/Norfolk/South Lincs area.
someone on here mentioned that they get their horse done for £65 (whole horse.)
looks like an amazing diagnostic tool.

This is who we use

it's great as she does the whole horse, hooves, and we've even done the saddles too

worth every penny IMO

I have used a couple of people and it is a great tool. But PLEASE make sure that you take the relevant pictures to a vet for diagnosis. It is not necessary to have any training in order to own a camera and this can lead to misdiagnosis.

agree entirely, we use it to check what is going on and she emails the photos to us so if there is a problem then we can send them to the vets

great for pinpointing a problem but please use a vet! used theinnerpicture as well, and the girl said the horse needed immediate veterinary attention because of heat. The vet said she would be extremely concerned if there wasn't any heat in that area!! Nothing wrong with that horse, however, the other horse that theinnerpicture told me was fine.... well, it's rewriting the veterinary manual with everything that's wrong with it...!
