title: General health care and miscellaneous conditions of the racehorse.
abstract: This article provides an overview of general health care management procedures commonly dealt with by racetrack practitioners. Although some of the conditions discussed are similar to those observed in a non-racetrack practice, the manner in which they are approached usually varies because of the unique circumstances encountered in the racetrack setting.
