A collaborative community, advanced diagnostic equipment, and the opportunity to drive medicine forward are just some of the reasons Joy Tomlinson and Daniela Luethy, assistant professors of large animal medicine, followed the call back to Penn Vet New Bolton Center.

Update on Wry Not

✨ Update on Wry Not! In November, we shared the story of Wry Not, a filly born with a severe wry nose. A few weeks after her corrective surgery, Wry Not was back at Penn Vet New Bolton Center, visiting equine dentist Amelie McAndrews, DVM, DAVDC-Eq, to have a bite plate placed on her lower jaw. The plate will encourage her jaw to grow straight out and not down. 🤩Wry Not is now fully weaned and can enjoy grain, hay, and grass like any healthy equine should. However, her muzzle will never be “perfect.” But we think she looks flawless! 💙 🔗Get all the details on Wry Not’s story: https://bit.ly/3WGSpcf #PennVet #NewBoltonCenter
