lameness diagnosis

Lameness diagnosis involves carefully examining an animal’s movement to identify discomfort or pain in its limbs or joints. The process includes observing the animal walk and trot to spot irregularities, checking for swelling, heat, or abnormalities, and sometimes using tools like hoof testers or imaging such as X-rays. The goal is to pinpoint the specific area causing pain or difficulty so appropriate treatment can be planned. Accurate diagnosis helps restore mobility, reduce suffering, and improve overall health.
