All vaccinations are important however there is always a small risk of a complication, and this is the same with any species including humans. Recently we had a vaccine reaction in one of our client’s horses, which resulted in a sterile abscess approximately 2cm into the muscle of the horse’s neck. This was located and diagnosed with an ultrasound scan and subsequently operated on to allow it to drain. We are fortunate to have a very good working relationship with the drug companies we use, and as a gesture of good-will they agreed to pay for the work done to resolve this vaccine reaction. 🤩 Although cases like these are rare, they are not uncommon. We are to pleased to say that this horse is healing well and is making a good recovery. #dilliwaybosley #dbequinevets #injectionabscess #sterileabscess #vaccinereaction #equineabscess #VetLife #vetmed
Dunsmore Point-to-Point
Last weekend marked the start of the season in the Devon & Cornwall point-to-point area. We were pleased to once again be part of the team providing emergency racecourse veterinary cover. This year we worked alongside Chris Johannson from Western Counties and Nigel Woodford.
Thank you to Ella our veterinary student for taking this footage of one of the races, giving an insight into Sunday’s day at the office!
Another great point-to-point for clerk of the course Norman Chanin and his team at Dunsmore. ⭐️🏇👏 #dilliwaybosley #dbequinevets #racecoursevets Go Pointing #silvertonhunt The Point to Point Authority
Our “knock-down” box is where we anaesthetise horses safely. The horses benefit from the soft padded walls, the rubber floor base, and the thick layer of straw in which it lies on.
This box is in regular use, here we have Ollie doing a fantastic job disinfecting and hosing the mats and concrete floor in preparations for our six surgeries next week. 🙌🧽🧹

The images show a weanling with an injury to its lower incisors. The two bottom central teeth were found to be hanging on by a thin piece of gum. This section was cut away and the remaining gum tissue (mucosa), was sutured together using absorbent suture material. This sort of injury can affect the permanent teeth that have not yet emerged. #weanling #equineinjury #equinevideo #equinevet #devonequinevet #equineincisors #horsedentistry #teeth #equineteeth #dilliwaybosley #dbequinevets
Bandage Sore
This horse which was acquired by one of our clients, had been bandaged incorrectly resulting in this nasty bandage rub. 😞
This clearly shows the importance of putting on a good quality bandage with good bandaging material!

This video shows an in-patient recovering from a good anaesthetic post-surgery. This is an excellent recovery; the horse finds his feet quickly benefiting from the rubber matting base which lies beneath the thick straw bed. The padded walls also offer a high level of protection for the horse’s sides.👌We have an experienced team for all in-house surgeries, and for the essential daily monitoring and caring of in-patients. During recovery the horse is not only monitored closely by a member of the team, but also by live cameras linked to our vets and staff mobile devices for absolute peace of mind.🙌#dreamteam #dbequinevets #dilliwaybosley #devonequinevets #arkmatting #equinesurgeries #vetslife #equineclients #independentpractice #veterinarian #horses #ponies #equinevideos Arkmat

If you’re at all squeamish you are best to look away now! 👀🤢😷
This horse presented with a nasty abscess on its wither due to a foreign body. The abscess took a few days to develop. It was x-rayed and scanned as part of the diagnostic investigation. #equineabscess #equinevet #dilliwaybosley #dbequinevets #wither #horse #foreignbody #veterinaryexpertise #devonequinevets #equineclients #equinehealth #VetLife
Another great set of diagnostic images taken from our OVERLAND SCOPE.👌We are extremely fortunate to have access to several trainer’s facilities nearby, and this particular gallop needs no introduction! Thank you to Philip Hobbs Racing and to our client for allowing us to share these pictures. 🏇#drfritzendoscopy #overlandscope #overgroundendoscopy #dilliwaybosley #dbequinevets #racehorse #equinediagnostics #windsurgeries #thoroughbred #veterinaryexpertise #gallop #horse #racehorsetrainer #ellapickardracing #softpalatesurgery #respiritorynoise #tiebacksurgery #hobday #devonequinevet Dr. Fritz Endoscopes GmbH Ella Pickard
