CASE OF THE WEEK!! This is a gnarly one so for those of you that are a little squeamish proceed with caution! ⚠️ This mare had been struggling with a recurrent shoe boil. Despite the owner’s best efforts the area had endured repeated trauma when she laid down (which she likes to do a lot!) regardless of wearing a shoe boil donut and having her stall overly bedded. There was so much scar tissue inside that it finally lost blood supply and abscessed, rupturing open the end of last week. We pregamed her for surgery with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and lots of hosing/cleaning through the weekend. Dr. Adriana Wilford was ready for the challenge and after a few hours of cleaning, debriding all that scar tissue and trimming a bunch of extra skin the edges came together beautifully! We’re happy to report that our patient is doing great and the area a healing well! Great job, Dr. Wilford!!! 🎉👏🏼

In the face of treating gastric ulcers we always recommend the Gold standard, GastroGuard. Here’s why….

Omeprazole for horses is "finicky" to manufacture, and studies have shown that compounded versions often don't maintain their potency: https://tinyurl.com/wxey23su

As many of you have experienced we have been having an issue with all of our outgoing emails to our clients landing in their spam folders. This is a systemic problem with Gmail and emails that are generated from businesses. We are hard at work with our management software provider and our website host to solve this problem - hopefully by tomorrow! Thank you all for your patience!
