Itโ€™s now 12 months since we introduced our state-of-the-art Qalibra CT scanner, and what a year itโ€™s been!

Our new CT scanner has exceeded all our expectations and complements our other imaging techniques, helping our vets reach more accurate diagnoses and provide the best possible care for our equine patients.

CT imaging can be invaluable for investigating a wide range of conditions, particularly:

๐Ÿ”น Head and neck pain (including headshaking and head trauma)
๐Ÿ”น Sinus and dental problems
๐Ÿ”น Lameness
๐Ÿ”น Neurological conditions
๐Ÿ”น Cases where radiographs or ultrasound have been inconclusive

One of the major advantages of our CT scanner is the ability to image the distal limbs without the need for general anaesthesia (GA), providing detailed information that can help identify bone and soft tissue injuries or disease. Under GA, we can also examine larger regions including the entire neck, thoracic spine, back, pelvis, sacroiliac and stifle joints, and proximal limbs.

A huge thank you to our specialist imaging team for making this advanced diagnostic technology such an important part of the service we provide.

THE UKโ€™s first seroprevalence study of Lawsonia intracellularis in foals has identified the age at which they are most likely to be exposed to the bacterium, helping stud farms determine the optimal time for vaccination.

Vets from Rossdales Equine Hospital, in collaboration with the VetPartners Clinical Board Support Team and colleagues from Rossdales Laboratories, conducted the study into Lawsonia intracellularis, the bacterium responsible for equine proliferative enteropathy (EPE). The bacterium can cause sporadic disease in foals, but until now, it has been unclear how frequently foals in the UK are exposed to it.

Emily Floyd and Caroline Ribonnet, both RCVS Recognised Specialists in Equine Internal Medicine, and Vicky Colgate, a veterinary researcher with an MSc in Veterinary Epidemiology and Public Health, collaborated to determine antibodies to, and faecal shedding of, Lawsonia Intracellularis in foals from UK Thoroughbred Stud farms.

The study followed foals from birth to 12 months of age across six Thoroughbred stud farms and identified a clear peak period of exposure between six and nine months of age, particularly during the autumn and winter months.

Vicky said: "By understanding this risk period more clearly, breeders and veterinarians can make more informed decisions about protecting youngstock from this potentially serious disease."

With the ongoing hot weather and lack of rain, wildfires around the UK currently are featuring in the News on a daily basis.

So many flammable materials are found in and around stable yards, meaning that fire is a real risk. We therefore thought it would be useful to share the British Horse Society's advice on carrying out a risk assessment in yards and equestrian centres, precautions that can be taken to help prevent fires, and actions to take if a fire breaks out.

Due to an internal promotion, we are recruiting for a full time Yard Technician to join our friendly and supportive yard team working within the Hospital and Diagnostic Centre, based in Exning.

This position is 40 hours per week, worked Monday to Friday, with participation in a weekend and bank holiday rota currently operating at one in three, for which overtime is paid. Additional hours may occasionally be required to meet business needs and generally will be recompensed as paid overtime.

Our Yard Technicians play a vital role in ensuring the wellbeing of our equine inpatients. Working closely with our Yard Manager, you will contribute to the highest standards of horse husbandry and handling, helping to ensure that every patient receives exceptional care during their stay.

The role involves the daily management of hospitalised horses, including feeding, watering, rugging and attending to individual requirements, as well as maintaining clean stables, handling horses confidently, and assisting with walking and movement around the hospital. Our patients vary widely and may include foals, youngstock, stallions, racehorses, competition horses and pleasure horses, so applicants must be both confident and competent in handling horses of all types, sizes and temperaments.

We are looking for a reliable and highly motivated individual with excellent attention to detail and a genuine passion for equine care. A good general knowledge of horse care and stable duties is essential, along with proven experience within the equine industry. Previous work in a racing or stud environment would be advantageous. This is a physically demanding role that involves working outdoors in all weather conditions, and we are seeking someone who will find reward in contributing to the smooth running of a busy equine veterinary hospital.
