Abstract
Diagnostic anaesthesia is a key part of lameness investigation but aberrant results are often seen, which can be confusing. An appreciation of both the strengths and limitations of diagnostic analgesia is essential. Anatomically complex regions, such at the distal limb, distal carpus and distal tarsus, can be particularly challenging. Clinical experience and good anatomical knowledge are beneficial, as is an appreciation of relevant research. This article explores the subjectivity of diagnostic analgesia on a block-by-block basis, including a review of the peer reviewed literature, with a view to managing owner expectations.
