🌟 Lameness Artificial Intelligence 🌟

Our clinic is constantly evaluating ways to help keep your equine athlete as sound as possible!

Introducing a new approach, not only are we offering the whole horse approach in all of our lameness work ups but we also want to invite you to monitor at home and in between appointments on those athletes.

For a low monthly fee, we will email you an invitation to record and document your athlete so we can better keep track on slight changes and stay proactive with their care!

DM for more details :)

🌟 Coronary Band Abscess 🌟

🌟 Same Horse 🌟

The last post showed a video of this patient grade 5/5 lame.

After radiographs indicated no fractures were appreciated, the left front digital pulse was bounding and heat was easily felt around the hoof, we elected to use an Abaxial nerve Block to temporarily block pain.

The reason we chose to utilize our nerve block is to make this patient comfortable enough to bear weight and hopefully by bearing weight on the left front leg the pressure will help the suspected abscess rupture quicker.

Stay tuned for another update 👀.

🌟 Yellow Eggs on Legs 🌟

Have you seen those tiny yellow dots stuck to your horses hair?

Check out what they turn into
(see the red arrow) this is what they look like before heading to the stomach!

Question...What are they? (You guys know :))

It’s always best to talk to your veterinarian about what deworming protocol is best for your equine athlete!

🌟 Pre-Purchase Exams 🌟

Question for the reader, are you a……?

A: must do a PPE
B: buy and see what happens
C: depends on the price
D. Other-explain in comments

One of my absolute favorite appointments is the PPE!

This is where we get to deep dive by using our, “Whole Horse Approach.”

We evaluate the equine on soft, medium and hard surfaces, we evaluate them in a figure 8, straight line and circle both directions at a walk and trot.

Our PPE’s include flexions, hoof tester exam, physical exam (including oral/dental exam), neurological evaluation, and as an added bonus a chiropractic exam and acupuncture scan.

Based on the exam findings and factoring in the discipline of the horse, we then recommend diagnostics to help us understand what this athlete will need to maintain the current level of performance and/or expected level of performance.

If you have any specific questions about our PPE’s drop them in the comments and we can address them in future posts :)!
