Physical Exam
Even with all the new diagnostic equipment that has come out in the last few years, equine care still relies on the experienced ears of the vet. Any respiratory evaluation of your horse, pony, or donkey begins with careful observation and listening to the lungs for any unusual sounds. Horse care always starts with a hands-on detailed physical exam.
