Quittor is a difficult condition to treat often requiring surgical intervention. In our equine section Peter Milner and Ian Hughes describe the surgical intervention and the remedial farriery that is required to treat the condition and protect the affected quarter of the hoof.

The use of subpalpebral lavage systems greatly facilitates the administration of topical medication in fractious horses. In this Practical Tip, Pedro Malho describes the procedure.

Chronic diarrhoea in cats is a problem which can upset owners more than the patient. In our small animal section, Audrey Cook helps us with the first step - establishing a diagnosis. We have an intestinal theme to this issue. Andrew Denning continues his guide to ultrasound of the intestinal tract while Rosa Ragni deals with intussusception in our surgery article.

Fleas are still the major cause of dermatological problems in cats and dogs, and Mark Craig looks at their role. Simon Tapping describes a case of tracheal collapse, Samantha Lindley continues her series on the role of pain in behaviour and Ariane Neuber looks at the use of biopsies in diagnosing skin disease.
