Equine Infrared Pictures- Fluke the horse...

Our subject today is a 21-year-old Arabian horse named Fluke (no connection with the brand). He proved to be a more than willing subject for some Thermal Imaging. An overall scan of his entire body was carried out, as well as some focus on areas of current issues.

During the winter months our subject lost some hair where his blanket caused some minor irritation. Our goal was to inspect these areas to ensure the healing process is still progressing without issue.

As well, Fluke has possessed a club-foot all of his life. Although he does not display any signs of discomfort whatsoever, we were curious to see if any underlying inflammation would be present. We performed a comparison with his other limbs and were quite thrilled to discover that there was virtually no sign of increased or decreased blood flow to that area. It appears as though his body had compensated extremely well.

Below are a few images of our happy subject on a fine spring day.
