In case you haven't heard yet, Wedgewood, a popular compounding pharmacy, issued a recall on a variety of veterinary medications this fall due to concentration inconsistencies.

While we do use Wedgewood to supply a few of the medications we prescribe (such as doxycycline and isoxsuprine), we want to put some fears to rest. We've reviewed the list of recalls and ensured that NONE of the medications we have prescribed to our clients throughout the recall period have been recalled.

If you've received compounded medications from other veterinarians and want to ensure they aren't affected, please use this link: https://www.wedgewood.com/recall-lookup/

It's important to keep our skills sharp in veterinary medicine, and Dr. Bonny spend a whole weekend last month doing just that! She invited her good friend Dr. Betsy Lordan, DVM & CJF to spend the weekend ultrasounding a variety of structures on some very patient horses. Some of the horses even received some helpful regenerative medicine services!

We’re not sure if this is Feel Good Friday or *Freaky Friday*, but we know Dr. Lauren’s patient feels a lot better now!

These mineralized “chunks” seen in the tube were once part of a large, spiked mass of calcium found at the tip of a gelding’s urethra.
All together, they were about the size of this small plastic egg - OUCH!

The poor gelding was experiencing pain while trying, unsuccessfully, to urinate. Luckily, Dr. Lauren was able to sedate him and carefully break the mass apart in order to extract it piece by piece. He’s doing much better these days!

A Healthy Stomach Makes for a Happier Horse! ❤️ 🐴

Not all equine gastric ulcers are the same. And while GastroGard is a great treatment option, it often works best as part of a team of medications, tailored specifically to the individual horse’s stomach.

Gastroscopy allows us to take a closer look at your horse’s stomach, identify different types of ulcers (and other stomach ailments), and better understand what may be causing discomfort.

We offer gastroscopy services both on-farm and in-clinic. We also have stalls available for an overnight stay - allow us to fast your horse the night before their gastroscopy procedure, so you don’t have to!

Happy Friday! Or should we say, Fall Foliage Friday?!

We hope you all have been able to enjoy this nice fall weather. Dr. Bonny and Brea have even been able to find some time in their busy schedule to get out and see the leaves with their horses! They’ve shared this photo, and we’d love to see yours!
Comment below with photos of your horses enjoying fall (imaginary bonus points if it’s a “between the ears” photo!)

It’s Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week, and we want to thank all of our veterinary assistants who are invaluable to our practice!
You can see some of the tasks our assistants perform when we’re at your barn, such as:

✅ Safely handling and preparing patients for procedures

✅ Monitoring patients under sedation and anesthesia and advocating for their needs

✅ Setting up equipment and helping with diagnostics
✅ Communicating with clients on the phone and on the farm

But our assistants do even more behind the scenes:

✅Maintaining equipment to keep it in perfect shape

✅ Keeping records up to date and complete

✅ Helping with scheduling logistics

✅ Checking inventory and stocking trucks with the necessary supplies

✅ Cleaning and maintaining biosecurity protocols between appointments

✅ Helping our veterinarians stay sane! 😜

Our assistants are truly one of our strongest assets, and we couldn’t practice such a high level of medicine without them!
From all of us at Henderson Equine Clinic, THANK YOU! 💕

Happy Feel Good Friday!

Horses have very strong eyelid muscles that are especially hard to open when they are squinted shut from pain. This can make administering topical medications difficult, even for the nicest horses.
Luckily, we have a lot of tricks up our sleeves to help us fix eyeball issues!

When this patient was diagnosed with a stromal abscess (an abscess within the cornea), his owners knew he was going to resist the treatment regimen. Dr. Lauren suggested a Subpalpebral Lavage catheter (SPL).

An SPL is essentially a long, narrow tube. One end is inserted under the eyelid of the affected eye. The other end of the tube is fixed near the withers. This way medications can be administered into the far end of the tube and pushed onto the surface of the eye, without having to hold open the eyelids.

With diligent monitoring of the SPL catheter, Sunny’s stromal abscess slowly improved, and he was able to return to his herd!

See the progression in these photos!
