A bull presented to EVH very sick, hyper-salivating, and not eating. After a few days, he positively responded to antibiotics and ruminal support, but represented a week later for asymmetry in his jaw.

X rays were taken which showed a progressive tooth root abscess of his furthest back lower molar & possible jaw involvement 🦷

Our doctors were bull dentists today and successfully removed the infected tooth. This was a challenging job, as the tooth was very far back and difficult to reach.

This cow came to EVH extremely lame. After a hoof exam & X-rays she was diagnosed with an infected distal interphalangeal (coffin) joint secondary to an abscessed hoof crack.

She had surgery to remove the affected tissue and bone associated with the coffin joint to allow the area to heal. The previous joint area will eventually fuse together; this procedure is known as a facilitated ankylosis.

She will continue to receive high quality treatment & care in hospital from our excellent staff & doctors over the next few weeks!

During a routine hoof trim appointment this week we caught an interesting growth on this hereford’s eye. This easy to miss growth is an early stage of what will become a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), otherwise known as “cancer eye”. Ocular SCC is the most common cancer diagnosed in cattle, and its effects are significant including carcass condemnation and shortened lifespan.

As seen in the photos, treatment for this Hereford included numbing the eye, removal of the growth with a blade, and cryotherapy (freezing).

Don’t forget to check your cattle’s eyes. Early detection & treatment is key!

The first half of the video was sent to us from a client. After further examination, the patient was diagnosed with intermittent upward fixation of the patella. Dr. Warner preformed a medial patellar desmotomy on the patient to provide relief. The second half of the video is two days post surgery.
