I found it a bit disappointing TBH. For me it just gave a very basic overview that I would imagine most of us with horses are already aware off. I was expecting and hoping for some really new and breakthrough type stuff.
To me it was more of a promotional type talk aimed at raising awareness of the use of Pergolide and encouraging blood tests. Which, of course, is a good thing if it saves some animals from a lot of pain and unnecessary suffering. But on the other hand if they give away all these free blood tests, I bet the percentages of pergolide sales go up accordingly?
I would have loved for him to state quite clearly and emphatically that with correct management and preventative care, in a lot of cases, you pony might very well never need Pergolide. But I suppose as someone else said, there is only so much you can cover in one seminar, I would have liked a much longer question and answer section, but then it would probably have gone on all night and all day today!:smile:
I did manage to get an answer to my question about the risk levels of giving a steroid jab to Dolly for sweet itch, it seems that it is in fact a very low risk for a horse like her,as my own vet had assured me. It was worth watching for that bit of reassurance alone for me!
