What looks like straightforward unilateral sinusitis can quickly become less certain...
Could this be something infectious, even an early or atypical strangles case, and should you be swabbing before anything else? As the work-up progresses, confidence can slip further: radiographs that don’t quite show what you hoped, uncertainty over which views best highlight the sinuses or tooth roots, and the familiar question of whether what you’re seeing is clinically significant or just a normal abnormality.
Nasal discharge cases are everyday cases - but they don’t always feel straightforward, and they can easily become time-consuming, frustrating and inconclusive.
This July, our new CPD course, How to approach sino-nasal disease in equine practice, is designed to change that. The focus isn’t on adding more to your workload, but on giving you a clear, practical framework you can apply in the field - so you can approach these cases with structure and confidence from the outset.
Through hands-on sessions and case-based learning, you’ll refine your oral examination technique, improve your radiographic approach and interpretation, and make better use of endoscopy and oroscopy. Crucially, you’ll learn how to bring these together into a logical, efficient investigation—helping you decide what matters, what doesn’t, and what to do next.
The result is better clinical decision-making, fewer unnecessary steps, and greater confidence in both managing cases yourself and referring when needed, with a work-up that stands up to scrutiny.
Led by Safia Barakzai, Henry Tremaine, Justine Kane-Smyth and Neil Townsend, this course is aimed at experienced equine vets, particularly those in ambulatory practice who want to be more decisive and efficient when faced with sino-nasal disease.
Join us on Tuesday 21 July in Surrey and turn one of the most frustrating areas of practice into one of the most satisfying.
