But when a horse develops laminitis, an inflamation of the tissue that bonds the horse's bone to the inner wall of the hoof, the hoof doesn't work properly, the animal is in pain and its health can be severely compromised. No lesser horse than the great Secretariat, the 1973 Triple Crown winner, was felled by laminitis.
â¢ URETER (noun) The noun URETER has 1 sense: 1. either of a pair of thick-walled tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. Familiarity information: URETER used as a noun is very rare.
EO: possibly they meant EOM (extra ocular movements). POOLE: they may have meant PERRLA (pupils equally round reactive to light and accommodation). EO and POOLE are not abbreviations used in ophthalmology, at least not in my experience practicing in the us. PERRLA is very commonly used by non-eye doctors.
