Happy Foot Friday and Happy Valentine’s Day! Did you know that Dr. Penttila has a love of all things podiatry and works closely with our consulting farrier, Kirk Shaw, to help horses in need of specialized therapeutic X-ray guided shoeing! These kind of cases include conditions such as laminitis and navicular syndrome. Their passion and knowledge have helped get so many horses back to their best! #burwashequineservices #equinevet
Happy Hump Day! Did you know Burwash has two isolation stalls where we hospitalize and treat contagious cases, such as strangles or colitis, while keeping the rest of our patients safe? Though it’s always a fun dance party when you forget something! #burwashequineservices #equinevet #humpdayhumor
Happy Toothy Tuesday!! Ever wondered what happens when we find a tooth that needs to be extracted? We found a significant amount of feed packing and gum recession associated with this tooth on a routine dental examination. We took dental radiographs and determined that the tooth needed to be removed. He was such a good boy for Dr. Thomas during his extraction and he is feeling so much better now! For anyone wondering, we like to put in “earplugs” and cover their eyes with a soft towel to help block out the stimulus around them to help them require less sedation! *Shared with owner permission* #burwashequineservices #equinevet #toothytuesday
Anesthesia labs are underway this afternoon at Spotlight: Equine Vet Practice in Canada with tech students participating and learning from our vet techs at Burwash.
When the vets are away the techs will play! Hope everyone had a relaxing and fun holiday season! #burwashequineservices #equinevet
Before they left, the Elves put together a small blooper reel for your enjoyment! They had such a blast spending the Christmas season with Burwash and are so excited for next year! Like this post and comment below your favourite Elf post we have done to be entered in to win a down jacket to help you keep warm this winter! Merry Christmas everyone! #burwashequineservices #equinevet #elfontheshelf
Barley and Brome had a great afternoon learning all about oral examinations, dental floats, and tooth extractions with Dr. Thomas! They even got to try their hands at a few of the skills and we think they have great potential! #burwashequineservices #equinevet #elfontheshelf
The Elves tried to help with our inventory days by wrapping some items for us! Barley somehow ended up getting wrapped up in the process 😜 #burwashequineservices #equinevet #elfontheshelf
The Elves had a great time today using candy canes to zip line on our fluids systems! #burwashequineservices #equinevet #elfontheshelf
Did you know that Burwash Equine Services has a surgery suite where we perform both elective surgeries, such as joint arthroscopy, and emergency surgeries, such as for colic? The Elves were having a bit of a Sunday dance party in our induction stall where we are able to put horses under general anesthesia and transport them using a hoist onto our surgery table. #burwashequinevetservices #equinevet #elfontheshelf
As per a request from last year, here is “Wreaking Ball”!🤣 The Elves were getting in the spirit for the Burwash Staff Christmas Party tonight!! Our clinic will be closing early today at 4pm, but our on call veterinarian will still be available for any after hours cases! #burwashequineservices #equinevet #elfontheshelf
The Elves got to hang out with our most adorable patients ever!!! They were so sweet while Barley and Brome gave them lots of love and decorated them. They even gave the Elves a ride around the clinic! ❤️ #burwashequineservices #equinevet #elfontheshelf
