Head Shaking
Head Shaking
Head shaking in horses is a complex and often distressing condition characterized by sudden,
involuntary movements of the head, frequently accompanied by signs of discomfort or irritation.
This condition can have a significant impact on a horse's performan
ce and overall quality of life.
We utilize advanced diagnostic tools
such as r
adiographs (x
-
ray), computed tomography (CT)
and
endoscopy
to determine the underlying causes, which may include hypersensitivity of the trigeminal
nerve, dental problems
,
ear i
nfections or
t
emporohyoid osteoarthropathy
.
CT imaging provides detailed, cross
-
sectional views of the horse's head, allowing
us
to identify issues
that may not be visible through standard diagnostic methods, such as dental problems
or
sinus
abnormalities.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that each horse receives a precise diagnosis
and a tailored treatment plan, aimed at alleviating symptoms and enhancing their wellbeing.
