This seminar will walk through some of the most frequent postmortem findings in horses—including laminitis, shipping fever, and the major causes of colic—in a clear, accessible way for owners, farmers, and enthusiasts. Join us to gain a better understanding of these conditions and what they can teach us about equine health. Please note that, as this is a pathology lecture, it may include mildly graphic images of blood, organs, or other depictions necessary for the education of the audience.
