Excellent paper authored by one of the equine GI ulcer experts, Benjamin Sykes. The paper discuses adverse behaviors in the horse that may or may not be related to a clinical diagnosis of GI ulcers. Takeaway is the whole horse must be assessed when these performance issues arise. Multiple different systems and problems may need to be ruled out to be complete in diagnosing the horse.

Facial Nerve Paralysis: This horse exhibited facial nerve paralysis. The muscles innervated by the 7th cranial nerve, the Facial Nerve, were paralyzed. We suspected that there was traumatic damage to the nerve which caused this paralysis. The nose was deviated toward the normal side (picture on the left). After a few months, luckily the nerve inflammation decreased and the muscles were re-inervated, and the nose symmetry returned to close to normal )picture on the right).

This wound healed incredibly well with the use of these VetBlue wound pads. These are my new favorite wound healing tools! They wick away the exudate (dead white blood cells, bacteria and associated discharge) from the wound bed and allow epithelialization (development and migration of the skin cells across the wound bed). In two months this horses’s degloved fetlock has healed incredibly well. The wound was initially sutured with the viable skin flaps. Routine bandage changes were performed, which incorporated the VetBlue wound pads. The wound was locally cleaned when the bandage was changed. Also… PSA: Don’t let your stall doors get to this point without repair. I’m certain horses could hurt themselves in a rubber room even if we bubble wrap them.
