So this is my second post about this, first one was fatal. The first one I posted was on a calf that ended up choking and suffocating to death on a balloon. Again when you release your balloons in the air you have no idea where they go. Well these two decided to blow in our pasture with two yearling fillies. Not only are you littering and messing with Texas, but these animals aren’t use to these shiny, crackling things chasing them in the pasture on an extremely windy day. So please next time you release your balloons, think about the consequences and repercussions of what you’re doing. This filly is owned by Dr. Tommy Hays

We would love to welcome our new associate Dr. Michelle Ientile. Michelle’s love of equine medicine started at a very young age, she assisted horses in need with the only veterinarian on the small island of Kauai, Hawaii. Kauai also happens to be where Dr. Michelle is from and where her parents own the largest trail riding business in Hawaii. This early mentorship inspired her to travel to the mainland and pursue a career in equine medicine. After completing her bachelors at the University of Hawaii she then decided to go Oklahoma State University and received her DVM in 2022. From there she completed a rotating internship in equine sports medicine and surgery. She loves lamenesses, lacerations, routine care and just about anything our equine friends need. We’re so excited to have here.

If they’re going to cut themselves close to their eye this was a good spot to do it. Laceration of his eyelid but his eyeball was perfectly fine. Dr. Tommy Hays sutured this and it came together nicely. This big guy is doing great and recovering at home.

Jacob Warner grew up shadowing his father at the Elgin Veterinary Hospital. He came to love the veterinary profession while working alongside his dad, who specializes in beef cattle medicine and serves as a consultant to the Professional Bull Riders (PBR).

After walking the graduation stage this Wednesday, Warner will join his father's veterinary hospital to serve animal athletes who perform in rodeos and livestock shows as well as food animals.

Just a educational post for everyone…I get a lot of pictures and videos of foals like this at 30+ days of age that haven’t straightened up on their own or have gotten more crooked with time. When I tell folks i can straighten them up perfectly in a month or so they just don’t believe it. See the difference in corrective surgery and 21 day later results. These foals will be performance sound and one wouldn’t know that surgery was even done when it’s done correctly. Elgin Veterinary Hospital Tommy Hays

This is a 4 month old filly that was in a stall with her momma. The owners couldn’t find anywhere what she possibly hung her leg on. As we all know you could put them in bubble wrap and they’d find a way. Dr. Tommy Hays got her cleaned up and put back together. This filly should be just fine.
