Ask A Vet
Got a question about your horse's health? Post it in our Ask a Vet section, and a veterinarian member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners with expertise in the field you are interested in will answer online. This month's topic is Equine Opthalmology and Dr. Danielle Bercier is our "Vet on Call." You can also read questions and answers from the Archived Veterinary Rounds.
