Emergency work has certainly got easier over the last few years with the emergence of cordless X-ray generators, reliable battery packs and wireless X-ray plates.

At Oldbury Equine Clinic we are very lucky to have the latest equipment offering our clients paddock side emergency imaging when fractures are suspected. This reduces the risk of moving horses when a float journey could exacerbate a suspected fracture.

We only use this in emergency situations continuing to recommend clinic based imaging for all other conditions due to the need for correctly levelled concrete surfaces to create optimum radiographic images.

This equipment does allow our clinicians and clients peace of mind to travel a horse or make those difficult decisions.

Dr Mike attended a horse this morning with a suspected fracture and was able to offer reassurance and put together a plan going forward for the patient without having to move him too far .

Great morning at Transitions Inc. Dressage Club with Dr James presenting on Gastric Ulceration. It's a super common condition of our competition horses, so a really important topic for riders to appreciate. Big thank you to the Club for having us, and to Randlab - who make a range of very effective ulcer treatments - for providing some great merchandise for attendees!

Exciting times at Oldbury Equine Clinic. Dr Mike and Dr James ability to respond to emergency calls in record times despite the local road works, road closures and changing speed limits has been acknowledged.
They have both been approached to instruct at a new driver training school , focussed on training ambulance and police officers in knowledge of the local changing driving conditions while under pressure. This will include focus on observation of changing speed limits within hourly periods in the shire. As part of this recognition Oldbury Equine will have the first veterinary response vehicle in Australia to carry the red and blue light systems.
We are very proud and excited to be acknowledged in this way. Watch this space .

ℹ️ A gentle reminder for horse owners 🐴

At Oldbury Equine Clinic we see a lot of senior patients regularly. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of loving a horse — but planning ahead is part of responsible, compassionate care.

The practical guide recommended by The American Association of Equine Practitioners encourages owners to regularly assess quality of life using the simple MEDW framework.

M – Movement
E – Eating
D – Drinking
W – Weight

By monitoring these areas regularly, you can recognise subtle changes over time. When a gradual decline becomes noticeable — with more difficult days than comfortable ones - we encourage owners to have an open conversation about the next step. As we are here for your horses during their younger years, we are always here for them, and you at the end. 🌈

Dr Mike has just arrived in Sydney for a 3 day intensive course on diagnosis and management of foot and pastern conditions. Looking at the latest techniques and most up to date methods for managing these conditions. This is the first time this ISELP course has been run in Australia.

As many clients know this is a great passion of Dr Mikes alongside all lameness investigations and he’s really excited that Jean-Marie Denoix considered the world’s foremost equine musculoskeletal system anatomist and equine diagnostic ultrasonographer is the lead facilitator on the course .

Dr Mike looks forward to returning with further diagnostic techniques and rehabilitation programmes to assist our clients . The course covers Pastern conditions (cartilage abnormalities, subchondral bone injury, fissures, tendinopathy, ligament pathology …) and foot region conditions (inc arthropathies, tendinopathy of the DDFT, bursitis, ligamentous injuries, …).

At Oldbury Equine Clinic all our clinicians are continually studying and attending courses to ensure the whole team is up to date with the latest diagnostic techniques, treatment regimes and medical research.

We are lucky bodies like the EVA promote these great opportunities.

**EDIT**
Answer: Melanoma
The hidden clues given were it came from a ‘grey’ horse and the pigmentation colour of the mass was black.

🩺 CASE QUIZ 🐴

We recently surgically excised a firm, non-painful, slowly growing mass from an older grey gelding.
