Luke’s back! Last trip for a couple of months.
18th & 19th November in Leeton.
This little girl was just an onlooker for a herd mates appointment, but I couldn’t resist. Isn’t she the cutest!
Ever wondered how we wake animals up from anaesthetic gently? 😂
Can anyone see what makes this horse very unique?
Answer will appear in comments soon!
Albert Einswine after patiently laying down for a chat about pig manicures and pedicures with his amazing mum, decided he was ready for his mud mask.
This not so little piggy is a very happy boy!
Is this not the cutest nose ❤️
Thought I'd share a recent case with everyone of a lovely horse, a committed owner and a great team over at Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital (GVEH)
'Gopha' was diagnosed with a fractured upper cheek tooth. Being a young horse, these teeth can be up to 4 inches long and communicate with his sinus so he was referred to GVEH for removal. The tooth was removed by a 'minimally invasive transbuccal technique' (through his cheek) using a special screw and sent back home to Griffith for his post operative care.
Gopha was an incredible patient throughout. Despite multiple rechecks over the following 4 weeks; each involving an intravenous sedative, stepping into the crush, standing still for exam with mirror and oroscope (mouth camera) and gentle targeted flushing of the tooth removal site. Gopha was impeccably behaved and actually became more willing to undergo each treatment as time went on. Using the oroscope meant we could send footage to Gopha's surgeon for progress updates without having to travel to Shepparton.
Absolute kudos to his owner Nicolle for her commitment to Gopha; following every post-op care instruction, handling Gopha calmly all whilst keeping his comfort front of mind.
