Welcome to our first installment of “Meet the Team Monday!”

We are kicking this off with co-founder/owner, Dr. Dora Ferris. Dr. Dora is a Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist with decades of experience behind her. She grew up with a passion for horses, owning and competing in a variety of disciplines throughout her childhood years. She completed her undergraduate degree at Northwest Nazarene University and earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Washington State University, followed by an internship at Oakridge Equine Hospital in Oklahoma. Upon completion of her internship, she became the nation’s first Equine Sports Medicine Resident at Colorado State University, where she fostered her love of regenerative and complementary medicine and completed multiple publications on the effects of stem cell therapy on return to performance. Dr. Dora is also certified in Veterinary Acupuncture. Following her residency, she ran a private practice in Fort Collins, Colorado until she and her husband, Dr. Ryan Ferris, decided to move back to the Pacific Northwest to be closer to family.

Dr. Dora’s favorite thing about her job is helping dedicated clients solve the complicated lameness puzzles, and her current favorite topic in Equine Sports Medicine is exploring new therapies and medications.

Dr. Dora loves working together with her clients and helping them achieve all of their goals, but if you don't see her at the clinic, she is likely enjoying time with her two kids, multiple horses, and showing her various breeds of poultry.

💥Not every front limb lameness starts in the leg! 🐎

Nerve roots exit the cervical spine (neck) and contribute to the nerves that supply the front limbs. Irritation or compression involving these nerve roots can sometimes cause pain, weakness, altered movement, or lameness that appears like it may originate from the leg.

So, how do we investigate it? Diagnosis may involve a combination of a neurologic and lameness exam, diagnostic nerve blocks, radiographs, ultrasound, or advanced imaging such as CT. Management depends on the underlying cause and may include anti-inflammatory medications, rehabilitation, ultrasound guided injections, or other therapies tailored to the individual horse.

When a front-limb lameness is difficult to localize or keeps coming back, it may be time to look beyond the leg and investigate the neck! Contact our office if you think your horse might benefit from a deeper look into their lameness at (503)682-3898.

Fire season is already here and reminding us of the 2020 fires that displaced many owners and their animals. This is a reminder to everyone to have a plan and be prepared as we learned a lot housing over 150 animals during the fires. One of the major issues we faced was figuring out who owned the animals that were dropped off by haulers and good samaritans. Though halters and mane tags work better than nothing, they can still break, fall off, or get changed amongst animals. We found using livestock markers works well on all colors of horses and lasts a very long time. We recommend ordering them now, so you'll have them if you need them! They can be found on amazon or with your local livestock supply store.

Sincerely,
The Summit Equine Team
