As a veterinary hospital, biosecurity is of the utmost importance to us. Making sure we have adequate biosecurity measures in place helps us keep our patients safe by preventing the spread of germs 🦠
A big aspect of this is keeping the stalls and barns that our patients stay in clean and properly disinfected.
Ever wonder what goes into this? Well have a look!
We also want to give a big shoutout to our barn staff who help keep our patients safe day in and day out. Without them our hospital would not run!
P.S.: Anyone else just love watching cleaning videos? So satisfying to see the result of all that hard work

Follow along with a fecal floats 💩
Fecal floats are an important tool to assess the worm load in a horse and whether or not deworming is an appropriate course of action. With increased drug resistance in the worm population, it is important to avoid unnecessary deworming.
At Delaney Veterinary Services, we are happy to offer in house fecal testing to help you establish the best deworming protocol for your horse.

It’s horse show weekend! What are you doing to fill your bucket?!! #delaneyvetservices #delaneyvet #equinevet
Come join us for a bronchoalveolar lavage or BAL procedure.
BAL’s help us determine whether horses have inflammation in the lungs (heaves or equine asthma) or are suffering from exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (so called bleeders).
Let us know if there are any other procedures you would like to see.

The Equinosis Lameness Locator
The lameness locator quantifies equine lameness by using three wireless sensors to track how the horse moves with real time data collection.
We place a sensor on the horse’s head, right front pastern, and pelvis. The sensor on the pastern measures which foot is on the ground at what time. The sensors on the head and pelvis measure the horse’s torso movements. A “sound” horse will show symmetrical right to left. The lameness locator will quantify motion asymmetries directly associated with decreased weight bearing. It shows which limb is impacted but not where in the limb, further diagnosis from your veterinarian will be required. A report is generated that shows any asymmetries in each limb and if it’s on impact or push off. The system can highlight issues on multiple limbs at one time, making it ideal for multi-limb lameness evaluations.
The lameness locator is a great tool to use to set a baseline for your horse and any future lameness exams can be objectively compared.
Call the clinic to book your lameness locator appointment!
