Infrared thermography of the pathology of the distal part of the limbs of household and agricultural animals

Abstract

Infrared thermography of animals is now increasingly used in the pathology of distal parts of the extremities of animals. The thermograms are shown in the study of the distal part of the thoracic limbs of calves, when performing a surgical operation on the elbow joint of a dog in dynamics and in the study of the limbs of a horse with signs of left-sided "thermoamputation" of the distal part of the horse's limbs. The data of a dynamic remote thermographic study, when studying different species of animals, can be used to assess violations of peripheral circulation, in the part of the body being examined. The method of infrared thermography makes it possible to fix the pathological process early on before the onset of symptoms, which allows revealing hidden pathological processes. Infrared thermography in the practice of a veterinarian allows you to start preventive and curative measures at an early stage of the pathology and prevent complications of the disease or completely avoid them.
