Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Unpacking Equine Diagnostics: Alison Talbot BVM&S, CertEP, CertES(Orth), DIp ACVSMR, Dip ECVDI, FHEA, MRCVS
Q: How has imaging changed the management of navicular disease over time?
MRI and CT have allowed us to separate borders and detect early changes, leading to earlier and more targeted interventions such as shoeing adjustments to reduce stress on the navicular area.
Unpacking Equine Diagnostics: Alison Talbot BVM&S, CertEP, CertES(Orth), DIp ACVSMR, Dip ECVDI, FHEA, MRCVS
Q: What is the role of standing CT versus general anaesthetic CT in clinical practice?
Standing CT provides a more practical option for dynamic assessment in sedated horses, while GA CT offers higher resolution; both are useful depending on the clinical question and patient safety.
Unpacking Equine Diagnostics: Alison Talbot BVM&S, CertEP, CertES(Orth), DIp ACVSMR, Dip ECVDI, FHEA, MRCVS
Q: You mentioned multiple imaging modalities. How do you decide which one to use when localising lameness to the foot?
Start with radiographs to localise; if they don't explain the signs, consider MRI for soft tissue details and edema, and CT for detailed bone assessment, using bone turnover information from scintigraphy when indicated.
Paul Duddy: Competitor, Judge, Educator - Part 2
Q: Is there a favorite class that Paul enjoyed during his competitive years?
Paul preferred the speed class at Calgary, recalling how he felt he could perform well there and how the class pushed him to work hard and optimize speed without sacrificing foundational quality.
Andrew Bowyer - Sidebone
Q: Can you summarize how your current interpretation of Sidebone differs from traditional teachings?
He emphasizes the role of the entire hoof capsule, vascular dynamics, and the potential benefits and risks of packing, with a growing belief that Sidebone might be a trigger for broader foot pathology rather than the sole cause.
