Our Equine Internal Medicine Service has a fun page to follow. Every week, they post an interesting medicine question to figure out. Give them a follow.

👀 Here’s another medicine question 😎

🤓 Evaluation of a horse’s mucous membranes (gums) can provide useful information regarding the horse’s condition. Color, capillary refill time and moistness can all be assessed 🩺

📸 The photographed mucous membranes belong to a 12-year-old mare showing signs of colic. What might this color indicate and how might this influence what you do❓

✏️The answer will be posted later this week 🤩

Foal Care at UC Davis

UC Davis Equine Videoendoscopy

To diagnose upper airway obstruction or other upper airway respiratory disorders, UC Davis veterinarians use static and dynamic videoendoscopy to make an accurate diagnosis. One of the added benefits of utilizing this new technology is being able to exercise the horse in its normal environment, such as a track or an arena rather than on a treadmill, which can be dangerous and frightening for inexperienced horses.

Picnic Day - April 22

Join us on April 22 for our open house on UC Davis Picnic Day. Lots of exciting animals to see and tour the veterinary hospital. Tour and treadmill demo tickets available at door. Free. First come, first served. There are limits so come early. 10am-2pm
