Enteroliths come in different shapes and sizes. More commonly seen in the southwest were a combination of sandy soils, high mineral content in the water and feed allows for the formation of these “stones”. Five of these were taken from the large colon and the sixth was found stuck in the descending or small colon.

It takes a village….

As veterinarians we are only a spoke in the wheel to complement the entire team required for a horse to perform at its highest level. Good communication across the team brings the care to the highest level as well.

...how often do you seek answers on Google or on social media?

In all seriousness, we're not saying that all Internet advice is bad. You can and should use the online resources available to your advantage—like to find good tips for basic training issues or to learn more about specific diseases. But this is your reminder that there are MANY reasons to start with your own veterinarian when you're seeking answers about your horse's health.

An Internet consultation might sound like the cheapest option at first but it cannot replace the physical exam performed by a trained and experienced veterinarian, and in the end treatment without a proper diagnoses could prove more costly and time consuming.

Your horse doctor invested a lot of time and resources in their training to be able to provide the highest standard of care to their patients—trust them to care for your horse as much as you do!
