Bryn was brought to the B&W Equine Hospital after his owner noticed that he had bilateral nasal discharge, began to cough, and his whinny no longer sounded normal. Following a visit from Beth Bryant at the Failand B&W Equine practice, an endoscopic examination was performed, revealing a large stick (pictured) lodged at the bifurcation of the trachea. It was decided that the best option was to refer Bryn to the hospital for an endoscopic-guided removal of the stick, to be performed by Therese De Souza.

After the removal of the stick, Bryn stayed at the hospital for a few days for repeat endoscopic examinations to ensure that the stick was completely removed and that minimal internal tracheal damage had occurred. We are pleased to report that Bryn has made a full recovery, showing no further respiratory issues, and he has regained his signature whinny at home.

Originally from Cheshire, Jess has extensive experience working with horses; she has produced and evented her own horse to a 4* level during her time at university. As part of her degree, she presented a project at the 2022 BEVA Congress titled "The Effect of Hindlimb Diagnostic Analgesia on Thoracolumbar Movement Using Kinematic Analysis in Horses at a Trot." Jess's primary interests in veterinary medicine include sports medicine, rehabilitation, and surgery. Outside of work, she enjoys exploring the walking trails in the Gloucestershire countryside and baking treats for the hospital team.

Chloe and Breeze both visited the B&W Equine Hospital for evaluation of their lameness, which was localised to the digital flexor tendon sheaths with the use of local analgesia. After the assessment, a tenoscopic evaluation of the digital flexor tendon sheaths was recommended under general anaesthesia.

Following the surgery, both Chloe and Breeze have been following rehabilitation plans, and we are pleased to share these pictures with you. Chloe has now returned to starting ridden work, while Breeze is continuing to make good progress in her recovery.

B&W Equine Hospital offers MRI scans interpreted by Becky Jones, an RCVS Recognised Specialist in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging.

At B&W Equine Hospital, we take a comprehensive approach to treating your horse. When your horse undergoes an MRI, Becky not only examines the images but also evaluates your horse and consults with your veterinarian. Becky has extensive experience, graduating in 1996 from Bristol Vet School, She later completed a Residency in Equine Diagnostic Imaging at The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) Equine Hospital. During her time at the RVC, she earned the RCVS certificate in Radiology (CertVR) and later obtained the RCVS Diploma in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (DVDI). She is one of only a few veterinarians with this qualification!

The use of MRI can save significant time and money, enabling early, more specific diagnosis which enables better-directed therapies and improving outcomes. It is specifically useful for diagnosing abnormalities in regions that are otherwise hard to image, such as the foot. As well as being very good at diagnosing soft tissue pathology it can also identify pathologies in bone, that are not visible with any other imaging modality and it can help to add information to pathologies which can be diagnosed with other imaging modalities, but where further information is required, e.g proximal suspensory ligament desmitis.

MRI at B&W Equine Hospital is carried out with horses under standing sedation, eliminating the risk of general anaesthesia. All MRI scans are conducted by our dedicated team of equine imaging technicians, who are all qualified nurses or vets. A comprehensive report is written by Becky, after full evaluation of all the images obtained, and the results are then communicated to referring vets and owners.

Veronica Roberts, a renowned specialist in equine internal medicine, who devotes her expertise to understanding headshaking in horses. In her insightful article published in Your Horse, she delves into the latest findings surrounding trigeminal-mediated headshaking.

In her exploration, Veronica discusses the diagnostic tools that have emerged for evaluating this condition. She highlights advanced imaging techniques, such as CT scans. Furthermore, she discusses the innovative use of triaxial accelerometers, devices that measure and analyze the horseโ€™s head movements, providing valuable data for accurate assessment.

Veronica also shares her insights into the most recent treatment options available for managing trigeminal-mediated headshaking. Among these is the EquiPENS neuromodulation therapy.

As 2024 comes to a close, it's always nice to reflect on the foaling season, which has been quite busy for us. We expanded our mare and foal intensive care unit to accommodate two pairs of mares and foals, allowing them to be housed separately. This extra space was definitely needed!

This season, we admitted 42 foals with various conditions, including prematurity, neonatal maladjustment syndrome, sepsis, and orthopaedic issues such as septic joints, diarrhoea rhea, and colic. We achieved a survival rate of 74% for those discharged, although some of the non-survivors had incurable conditions, such as congenital abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract and profound flexural deformities of the limbs.

As part of our efforts to enhance our foal medicine capabilities, we introduced a special offer in 2024 for CT scans of foals admitted to the hospital at a reduced price of ยฃ600. CT scanning has significantly aided us in diagnosing lameness in foals and cases of suspected osteomyelitis (bone infection) that have not been identified through conventional methods such as X-Rays.

If you have any stories about foals admitted to the B&W Hospital, please share them below or message the page if you would like to be featured.
