🩹🐎🩺 CASE OF THE WEEK 🩺🐎🩹

Bringing your horse out of the stable only to find they are hopping lame is every horse owner's worst nightmare - and it's exactly what happened to vet Laura and her horse Bear last week.

On picking up Bear's foot the problem was immediately obvious, but what was not clear was how far the screw had gone in, and therefore what damage it could have caused.

There are several synovial structures (joints) within the horse's hoof which if penetrated by a foreign object such as a screw could cause severe infection, requiring specialist surgery.

Although the temptation is always to immediately remove the source of discomfort to our horses, Laura knew she needed to X-ray Bear with the screw insitu in order to fully assess the extent of the injury.

Fortunately in this case the screw was away from the synovial structures so could be safely removed.

Bear is being treated with antibiotics, pain relief and poulticing to keep the area clean and infection free.

💥REMEMBER💥:

If your horse has a penetrating solar injury, do not pull the object out but call your vet straight away.

⚠️ Awareness Post ⚠️

Last week, our vet Jess attended a horse that had been attacked by a dog. The dog was loose on a public footpath with no owner in sight.

Please keep your dogs on leads when there are horses or livestock in the fields that you are walking in. This could have easily been avoided and it's the poor horse that has suffered.

Can you help?

Looking for a donkey companion 🐴

Pippin needs a friend! Unfortunately a few weeks ago Pippin and her companion got very poorly and despite best efforts her companion didn’t pull through. Since then thanks to the hard work of our vets Jess and Laura, and student Frankie, Pippin is getting much better and is now in desperate need of another donkey friend to go and keep her company. If anyone knows of a possible suitable friend for Pippin to join her at a very loving home please let us know! 🙏🏼🥰

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances our Modbury branch is closed for appointments today.
We are still open for medication/food collections and our phone lines are still open but please do not bring your pet with you and be very careful when approaching the building due to broken glass.
Thank you for your understanding.
