Ask The Vet
Throughout the year, some topics generate more questions than others. Our
veterinary experts answer as many questions as possible based on their busy
schedules. The AAEP welcomes all of your questions, but recommends that your
equine veterinarian be your primary healthcare resource.
Please Note: We can only answer questions for the current month's topic. QUESTIONS POSED THAT ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE MONTH'S TOPIC, WILL NOT BE ANSWERED.
The opinions and answers expressed by each attending veterinarian during the
"Ask the Vet" forum are solely their views and opinions based on their
practice and not those of the AAEP, and should not be used as substitution
for diagnosis from your local equine veterinarian.
If your horse is currently experiencing a medical emergency (i.e. colic, eye trauma, severe laceration, dystocia, etc.), contact your equine veterinarian immediately for medical attention!
