The definition of trusting the process! This lovely mare presented following subcutaneous abscess formation over her knee that led to rupture of the skin and exposure of the underlying joint capsule 😱 Although very spooky in appearance, with agressive treatment this mare had a great prognosis. Luckily this mare’s owner and caretaker jumped on board with the treatment plan and followed our recommendations to perfection. This is a wonderful example of short term maximum effort (and confinement of the horse) leading to an ultimately much shorter recovery period and phenomenal outcome! So pleased to be giving this mare the go ahead to return to pasture after only 1 month! 😍

Another wound helped by bandage casting! 🤩🩺

💉 The literal “shot heard round the world”. It sounds like a horse received Flunixin or Banamine intramuscularly on an episode of last night? We would like to remind everyone that despite being labeled for intra-muscular use, horses should only ever receive this drug orally or intra-venously. Something that the folks at Yellowstone would need to be on the lookout for after this misplaced administration would be signs of gas and swelling under the neck or a painful injection site. Administering IM banamine to a horse can cause clostridial myositis and can lead to a serious infection that requires surgical and antibiotic intervention. Despite intervention, these infections can be fatal.

Thank you to everyone who attended our first equine seminar at Carleigh Jensan's facility! I am so inspired by how many people attended - it really shows how motivated the horse community is to learn and optimize their horses' health! I am so proud to be part of this great community. As requested, my presentation is attached for your reference. Please contact us if you have any questions from the seminar or if you would like to book a consultation.

We look forward to presenting more seminars!

It’s been awhile since we posted a wound repair!🪡 This was a particularly finicky surgical repair as both lacerations extended completely through the pinna exposing the cartilage and some very delicate soft tissues. Luckily for this horse the owner noticed within minutes of the incident and had us come out immediately for treatment! 🩺
