Special Equine Therapy #231303

In a country practice, while the same money basis of case handling must be always borne in mind, it is not of quite so much importance. The country practitioner's clients usually have ample stable room and plenty of feed for their horses. Neither is the serviceableness of work horses on the farm computed at day wages, as is the case with most city horses. In addition to this, there usually remains the alternative of consigning the animal to procreative function should the patient be of the female sex. The latter alternative is the gateway to the ultimate recovery of many grave cases in a country practice, cases that in a city practice would inevitably end in the destruction of the horse.
