Some cuteness for your weekend!
Rainy was born missing some bones in her hind feet. We created temporary prosthetic boots to raise her twisted feet off the ground and to give her a more comfortable leg to stand on.
What’s at the heart of our practice...
My first attempts at the blow-dart system!
Only the best help for building the new office! ;)
We did it again!! Turn the sound ON!
Last week we had a very special case of colic. Everyone, meet Red!
Red had partially rotated his large intestine, and food and gas could not get through. He was becoming increasingly painful. Surgery at the university was not an option for this old boy, so we did the trocharization. We prayed, he trotted, and he took a very bumpy trailer ride. 24 hours later, the twisted gas filled intestine was gone! Back to normal placement and movement!
The risk was worth it for Red! A big shout out to @ugavetmed for their over-the-phone assistance! This boy lives to rope another steer, because of TEAM effort!

We've added a new ultrasound probe to our tool box!
We can now peek deeper into the abdomens and chests of your critters. This video is of a horse with a heart murmur! We were able to see the leaking valve! Can you?
