As we approach the end of May, our schedule is nearly full. We do have a few urgent care slots available next week, but please note that during this busy time of year, these are reserved for existing clients only due to limited availability.

To accommodate more patients, we’ve had to use our dedicated “office work” time, which has put us behind on paperwork such as sending out bills, rebates, insurance forms, and radiology reports. If you need something urgently, please send us a text.

We are aiming to be caught up by Friday, but realistically, Memorial Day may be our catch-up day.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Happy Wednesday!

It’s been a little quiet on our social media lately—but that’s only because we’ve been keeping very busy.

I know many of you have been waiting patiently for a Nellie update, so here it is!

My top differentials included primary sinusitis or sinusitis secondary to a foreign body or a tooth root abscess. To get to the bottom of things, we ran bloodwork to rule out any systemic issues and took skull (and dental) radiographs.

Fortunately, everything came back without any significant findings, so I started Nellie on a broad-spectrum antibiotic—and I’m happy to report she is now free of nasal discharge!

I’m flying solo this week.

Rose is taking some well-earned time off, so I’m holding down the fort solo for the week. I had a high volume of calls, texts, and emails yesterday and was able to respond to most, but not all—thank you for your patience! Today is shaping up to be another busy one, but I’ve set aside time tomorrow to catch up on messages and paperwork.

Thanks for your understanding and continued support!

While I don’t usually look forward to seeing patients on the weekend, I certainly don’t enjoy it when the patient belongs to me.

Nellie presented this weekend with a unilateral (1 sided) mucopurulent (thick smelly mucous) nasal discharge. Her physical exam is otherwise unremarkable: no fever, normal appetite and water intake, and her usual bright, happy self.

What do you think are the top differentials (suspected causes)? What diagnostics would be beneficial?

Stay tuned for an update.

If you had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have confidently said, “a horse trainer.”

I wasn’t one of those people who always knew they wanted to be a veterinarian. It wasn’t until the end of high school that I even considered it. A working student position between my junior and senior year changed everything, sparking a love for veterinary medicine — and my passion for problem-solving and equine biomechanics made sports medicine the perfect fit. When non-horse people ask what I do, I usually tell them: “I help horses jump higher, run faster, and prance better.”

As much as I love the work, my favorite part of this profession is the community. I’m lucky to know some truly incredible veterinary professionals and mentors who have guided me along the way. Being a solo practitioner means having a strong support system is everything — people to bounce ideas off of, to talk me off a ledge when a tough case keeps me awake for days, or just to listen when I need it most.

Happy World Veterinary Day to the amazing people who make this world a better place for animals and their humans. I’m grateful to be part of such an incredible profession and to spend every day with horses.

The best part of being an equine ambulatory vet is the unplanned surprises. Today we had the pleasure in assisting these two ladies on finding their way home. It turns out we can make room for 2 large dogs in the truck pretty darn quick when we need to.

Happy Friday!

The spring rush has been in full swing for a while now, and the long days have officially become our new normal. We truly appreciate your continued patience and support as we work hard to care for each of our patients.

Just a friendly reminder: We’re still booking appointments several weeks out, so please plan ahead when reaching out to schedule. Especially for health papers!

We’re doing our best to stay on top of calls, texts, and emails—but response times might be a little slower than usual. We are continuing to chip away at our paperwork too. Thank you for bearing with us!

And just for fun: The picture below is Bindi’s impersonation of how we’re all feeling these days. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

Wishing you and your horses a safe and sunny weekend!

We’re rolling again in the Pilot and feeling extra grateful for the incredible village that keeps us going.

This morning started with a little hiccup—stranded at our very first farm of the day. Thankfully, our amazing client didn’t hesitate to try jumping us and even offered his truck for us to use if needed. Talk about kindness!

And dads… is there anything more reliable? Mine answered on the first ring and didn’t even blink when I asked him to bring not one, but two cars and some tools. Within 30 minutes, he showed up, we loaded up the essentials in one of his trucks, and we were back on the road.

The silver lining: we didn’t fall too far behind, the weather was beautiful, and the Pilot just needed a new battery.

Feeling thankful for the people who keep us moving—couldn’t do it without you!
