Muscles of the head, neck, and trunk play a crucial role in the horse’s posture, movement, and performance. Unfortunately, muscle atrophy within these spinal regions may be overlooked or dismissed as not being clinically relevant. Muscle atrophy can have various underlying causes, each of which requires careful consideration and attention. Dr. Haussler defines equine muscle atrophy and walks attendees through its causes and how it is diagnosed and treated. Before watching this replay, please review Dr. Haussler’s 3-part blog. This was Veterinary Compendium’s very first virtual Community Gathering.

Gatherings are 1.5-hour meetings including 30 minutes devoted to audience insights and experiences.
