Introduction

The Large Animal Clinic of the university's Veterinary Medical Center has facilities for secondary medical care and surgery of horses, including a clinic, an anesthesia/emergency room, an operating room and a stall for hospitalized horses (after surgery or intensive care). X-ray (DR), ultrasonic, endoscopic, CT and other diagnostic imaging devices are used to make definitive diagnoses, based on which treatment and surgery are conducted.
Primary medical care for horses can be provided by veterinarian visits or the delivery of horses to the clinic. Visits by a car equipped with diagnostic imaging devices are also available.
My research aims to further improve the diagnostic and treatment (surgery) standards for various horse conditions and to provide education and enlightenment in clinical veterinary medicine involving horses using the aforementioned facilities and equipment and based on the skills, knowledge experience gained through surgery and the care of many thoroughbreds through the care of horses.
