[RC] Heat guns etc. - Ed & Wendy HauserWhen I was gainfully employed, I used both the earliest versions of the cameras and heat guns. The gun I used was made 5-7 years ago. The cameras are indeed awesome. They can be set to visualize 1 F degree differences. The heat gun that I had was able to resolve 1 degree C (~2 degree F). I have played around with my horses, and never found anything useful. I think one could do almost as well carefully feeling for heat. With some practice human senses can do a pretty good job in comparing temperatures. There are a couple of caveats here: 1. I haven't used it when my horses were really sore. Palpation, and watching gait were enough to get me to my vet for his/her opinion. My vets have tended to use observation, palpation, ultrasound, x-rays, and nerve blocks to diagnose. 2. Having not purchased one of these instruments in 5 or 7 years, I do not know if more sensitive ones are sold now.
