Re: [RC] Question (DUCK AND RUN) - RDCARRIEIn a message dated 4/30/2004 12:29:26 PM Eastern Daylight Time, whirlwind@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: Sometimes I think one vet will give you better marks but they are different to. I've noticed that different vets sometimes emphasize different things - that is, one vet might really key in on gut sounds and grade a little tighter on that factor, while another might really look at some other factor. For example, what is an A on gut sounds to one vet, might be a B+ to another. I've never really worried about it - I keep an eye (ear) on my horse's gut sounds myself, so I know what he's doing and can relate that to how the vets score him. I would only get worried if a vet acted concerned, and I was hearing diminished gut sounds. Of course, I'm the kind of person who takes my horse up to the vet and immediately tells the vet if I have any concerns whatsoever about how the horse is doing, and will ask them to watch, say, the left front extra carefully because he took a bad step on a rock 2 miles back.
