CONTENT DESCRIPTION
This module will provide an in-depth and interactive exploration of the assessment and management of chronic orthopaedic pain in horses. Chronic orthopaedic pain is a relatively common occurrence in the equine population (though its prevalence is inherently hard to assess) and it represents a serious welfare concern.
In this interactive exchange, the impact of chronic orthopaedic pain on horses' health and wellbeing, the ways veterinarians can recognize, treat and monitor it using a systematic, holistic approach, will be explored. Importantly, this Module will also address how to involve and support the owner or caretaker as a key stakeholder in chronic pain assessment and management. Interactive case-based discussions will highlight that treating chronic painful musculoskeletal conditions effectively may not always be straightforward in horses, particularly against a background of 'normal' age-related decline and alterations in husbandry or management.
Casper graduated as a veterinarian in 2002. After a few years in mixed rural practices, Casper returned to the University of Copenhagen first as an intern and later as a PhD fellow from 2005-2008. He was awarded his PhD for the dissertation 'Intra-articular morphine in horses - Clinical properties in lipopolysaccharide-induced synovitis' in 2009. From 2008-2011 Casper completed the ECVS standard residency programme and became a diplomate of the ECVS in 2012. He has published research within the fields of equine pain management, equine pain evaluation, colic treatment and prognosis, minimally invasive surgery and upper respiratory disease diagnosis. Casper was been part of the surgery team at Evidensia Animal Hospital in Helsingborg, Sweden for 10 years during which time he became Head of Equine Surgery in September 2012.
Casper is now a professor at the Large Animal Teaching Hospital of the University of Copenhagen.
