I recently wrote an article for West Coast Veterinarian Magazine, "Iatrogenic behavioural injuries in horses: causes, prevention, and treatment of needle-shyness in horses"
Even the most experienced and well-intentioned veterinary staff can inadvertently contribute to a horse developing needle-shyness. This article explores how it happens, and what your veterinary team can do to prevent and treat iatrogenic behavioural injuries like this.
The editors have kindly allowed me to share the PDF below for download. You can also find the article in the online version of the magazine, on page 18, at this link.
Having a needle-shy horse can make routine and emergency veterinary care challenging or impossible. If you and your horse are struggling with fear of injections, click below to find out how I can help. I work online with horse owners worldwide.
