We are only pinpointing the area affected on the surface. This would need to be determined by a Veterinarian specialist.
As animal lovers, we enjoy this part the most. We treat them as our children and would do anything to help with their longevity. At the bottom right is a picture of Max, a boxer/German Shepherd mix who passed away a few years ago and was one of our first test subjects, going back to 2008.
For Horses, this non-invasive thermal scan significantly reduces the stress of loading and unloading into a trailer. For the horses that have been abused, we try to lessen any stress to the animals. A vet may need to take an X-ray, and this scan may help determine whether it is necessary.
In the past, we have ascertained that a horse’s strain was in the opposite shoulder to the one the customer thought it was in. It was overcompensating, and it caused it to limp. On the other hand, they knew that their rescue horse was nearing the end of its life and wanted confirmation of its issues. We found many areas of inflammation in the stifle and hamstrings, reduced blood flow to the lower legs and hoof, and elevated heat patterns near her spine. They decided to call the vet after seeing the extent of it. Their other horse was perfectly fine.
We have found that a dog had poor circulation in its leg, causing it to limp. Found where one of our dogs had torn its ACL, and it explained her limp. We have found that a dog had a shard of metal in its paw, which a vet had thought was arthritis. The picture that we took was shown to the vet, it was removed, and the dog resumed normal walking, and the arthritis medicine was no longer necessary.
We were able to identify a nerve issue in a dog’s back leg that was causing it to appear weak. This information was shared with their veterinarian, and the correct medication was prescribed. The dog was older, and the owner was considering putting it down due to its behavior. With our help, he lived for a few extra years.
By performing a saddle fit scan, we can determine if it is wearing unevenly, too large or small, has a bridge, or may be sitting on the spine. These scans can show laminitis, tendon or ligament injuries, skin injuries, eye injuries, or dental problems. With a fractured bone, the area will appear hotter, but we will not be able to tell whether it is actually fractured or only a sprain. A vet will determine this. What we are looking for is symmetry. The right and left should appear similar. Sometimes, you can catch an injury before it happens.
