CLIENT UPDATE ❤️

A 2-year-old miniature filly, presented to Cornell Ruffian for evaluation and treatment of a left hind fetlock luxation—a severe dislocation of the fetlock joint that usually results in ligament and joint damage.

A physical exam, radiographs, and ultrasound were performed, revealing an avulsion of the medial collateral ligament, strain of the lateral collateral ligament, and associated injuries. A bone fragment was removed and after several months of care, including a distal limb cast and PRP therapy, her healing has progressed beautifully.

🙌 Today, Rose is enjoying her life on the farm with her family and friends!

What is a blood donor horse? 💉🐴

These special horses play a critical role in equine medicine by providing blood for transfusions to horses in need. Blood transfusions can be life-saving in cases of severe blood loss, certain illnesses, and emergencies. ❤️ Here at Cornell Ruffian, we're fortunate to have access to a blood donor horse, ready to help our equine patients when they need it the most.

💉 Let’s talk about the elephant in the vet clinic. Many of us veterinary medicine professionals were watching the recent Yellowstone
episode that made us cringe because a horse was administered Banamine (Flunixin Meglumine) intramuscularly. This isn’t Hollywood. And real complications are a risk.

💊 Banamine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. It is available in oral and injectable forms. We would never recommend administering Banamine IM to horses.

🧫 Why don’t we inject Banamine IM?

Banamine causes muscle damage when injected intramuscularly. There are spores of bacteria known as clostridium that can rest in healthy muscle; however, the bacteria may awaken if the muscle becomes damaged from an IM injection particularly when Banamine is administered this way. This may cause Clostridial myositis. This is a serious and sometimes fatal infection.

🐴 What are the signs of a problem?
-Swollen and painful injection site with gas underneath the skin.
-The bacterial toxins may migrate into the bloodstream causing depression, colic, inappetance and fever to name a few.

🩺 What is the treatment?
Aggressive supportive care, antibiotics, and surgical excision/debridement of the infected injected site.

📺 Remember, do NOT believe everything you see on TV. And always consult with your veterinarian prior to administering medications.

And Hollywood if you need to consult on any veterinary medicine related scenes, we are available as long as we get to meet Rip. Yellowstone
