Vet and farrier team work I have seen quite a few emergency cases in the last few weeks, which triggered me to make a podiatry video! I have put together a little video to demonstrate the important working relationship of vets and farriers. All of the examples show the achievements of team work! I thank all the farriers for working with me. Watch the video to see all of their good work. Special thank you to Barton Blacksmith Services for supplying most of the photos 🥰

Tearing of the laminae: Laminitis ‘Laminae’ are the structures that hold the hoof wall to the pedal bone a bit like Velcro. ‘Itis’ means inflammation in latin. When the laminae become inflamed they weaken and tear. This causes micro bleeds, inflammation and pain. The bleeding can be seen as fluid on the radiograph, or it can present like a foot abscess due to increased pressure in the hoof capsule. It is NOT just a fat pony disease. Since we purchased our in-house insulin test, we have discovered how many normal horses that have slightly increased BCS, are at high risk and living on a knife edge for laminitis. Fat deposits around the body cause increased Insulin levels. This high resting insulin can trigger laminitis. We now use our test routinely in the Spring and Autumn to ensure horses are not at risk. This helps us design a horse focused nutrition and exercise regime for the current season we are in. See you again in the morning at Cromwell Dressage. I’m on my way to support! Becci the vet!

Bucking, rearing, poor performance: Is your horses back sore? Why not try Mesotherapy: We have a special DISCOUNT for April!! It is a fantastic way to release deep seated pain (fascial and muscular) over the back, including the wither, saddle area, lumbar and SI region. What does it treat? Saddle soreness Pain associated with kissing spines disease Sacro-Iliac (SI) pain Maintenance for horses in work Is a one off treatment enough? Yes in 80% of cases only one treatment is needed. Depending on the severity and chronicity, sometimes a second treatment is needed whilst the underlying cause of the pain is resolved. This treatment is life changing and career enhancing for horses!! Please enquire if you have any more questions. Have a great Easter!

Last one: It’s the best one… Watch out some of it shows blood!!! It’s an action packed video of all of the services we can provide you with! Have a great weekend ☺️
