New Technologies in Lameness Diagnosis and Treatment

Dr. Myhre presented the newest diagnostic modalities utilized at MEC, such as digital x-rays, ultrasound, nuclear scintigraphy and computer assisted tomography (CAT scan) at the US Pony Club National meeting on January 26, 2008 in beautiful Boston.

 

The 10th annual Equine Affaire in the Northeast was held at the Eastern States Exposition November 8-11, 2007, and had something to offer to horse enthusiasts of all ages, all breed persuasions, all levels of expertise, and all equine disciplines.

The GLC 5500 Demo Ring, located in the Mallary building, had standing room only, while Dr. Myhre returned as a featured presenter to Equine Affaire by popular demand. 

Dr. Myhre opened with a riveting presentation opening with a discussion about the number one killer of horses, colic. On display was the Myhre Equine Clinic's state-of-the-art closed circuit tv allowing the audience to observe an 11 year old, Morgan mare who was recovering at the clinic following another successful colic surgery performed by Dr. Myhre.

Following his passion for teaching, Dr. Myhre, a former Adjunct Professor at the UNH and UMass, offered the attendees a plethora of information on various equine veterinary topics including equine vitals, body conditions and general health issues.

Attendees were invited to the MEC booth (424) in the Better Living building for the opportunity to speak personally with Dr. Myhre.

Dr. Grant Myhre, D.V.M. recently participated in the World's premier continuing education meeting for equine veterinarians. The American Association of Equine Practitioners' (AAEP) 52nd Annual Convention, held in December 2006, offered the latest advances in equine health care. Scientific sessions, practice management seminars and hands-on workshops on topics ranging from lameness to reproduction were attended by an international gathering of over 2,500 veterinary professionals. Many of the sessions focused on providing new equine health care techniques that can be applied immediately to a veterinarian's daily practice.
 
The American Association of Equine Practitioners, headquartered in Lexington, Ky., was founded in 1954 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the health and welfare of the horse. Currently, the AAEP reaches more than 3 million horse owners through its over 9,000 members worldwide and is actively involved in ethics issues, practice management, research and continuing education in the equine veterinary profession and horse industry.
 
Dr. Myhre also presented the 90 minute Table Topic "Colic Surgery in the Standing Draft Horse", along with co-presenter, Dr. Dallas Goble. (University of Tennessee). The impetus to this presentation was the successful corrections of a large colon torsion in a 2800lbs. Belgian draft horse at the Myhre Equine Clinic and both presenters extensive equine surgical experience. The Myhre Equine Clinic is a diagnostic, imaging and surgical equine referral hospital located in Rochester, NH. Dr. Myhre is co-authoring an article with Dr. Kevin Sherman, a veterinarian at MEC, about this case. The article is currently being reviewed at the American Veterinary Medical Association for publication.
