Vet Times Podcast, Ep 50: Nicola Menzies-Gow on working with owners on equine laminitis

Nicola Menzies-Gow qualified from the University of Cambridge in 1997 and, after three years in first opinion equine practice in Essex, joined the RVC, where she completed a residency in equine medicine and a PhD.

Now a senior lecturer in equine medicine, Nicola’s clinical interests focus on endocrinology, cardiology and general medicine.

Her article, referred to in this podcast – “Laminitis symptoms and treatment, and helping owners spot early signs” – appeared in Vet Times (Volume 51, Issue 02, Pages 4-6).

She has also written an article, “Equine laminitis: causes, clinical signs, treatment and prevention” for Vet Times (Volume 50, Issue 30, Pages 6-9), which outlines the three types – sepsis-associated, endocrinopathic and supporting limb – but explains how the clinical signs remain unchanged. Diagnosis and severity scoring are discussed among other topics.
