The relationship between veterinarians and horses encompasses the medical care, management, and welfare of equine patients. Veterinarians specializing in equine medicine are responsible for diagnosing, treating, and preventing a variety of health issues in horses, ranging from routine care and vaccinations to surgical procedures and emergency interventions. They also provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and management practices to optimize the health and performance of horses. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the various aspects of veterinary care in equines, including advances in diagnostic techniques, treatment protocols, and the impact of veterinary interventions on equine health and welfare.
