• Discover practical treatment sequences for infections and ulcers of the coronary band, including the use of caustics, cold water, and supportive care to promote healthy tissue and control fever.
• Understand how to diagnose and manage lameness with accessible criteria, and how to combine rest, purgatives, and anti‑inflammatory or analgesic measures to stabilize the patient.
