We had the opportunity today to take some X-rays of a beautiful female golden eagle who injured her right wing. The hood on her head helped to keep her calm while being handled. The tie around her feet and huge talons kept us safe while handling her. We identified a fracture but it is not displaced so her chances for healing are good. She will be sent to a raptor refuge center in Colorado while she heals and hopefully will be released back in the Shirley Basin area to live out the rest of her days.

Our power is currently out at the clinic due to a down power line. We unfortunately also do not have phones for this reason. We are working on getting the issue resolved and will keep clients updated. If you have an appointment with the clinic, we will likely need to reschedule as our patient charts are not accessible. We will contact our missed appointments for rescheduling once power is restored.

We appreciate all of our amazing clients for their patience and understanding!

Thank you.

Happy Father's Day to all of our Pet Dads! Even those who said no to the pet but it showed up in the house anyway😉

Pickles saw Dr. Dave for his annual teeth check and float! Pickles asked that we remind all his horse friends why dental floats are important. Throughout the year, chewing patterns and uneven wear can cause for sharp enamel points to form. These points are abrasive to the soft tissue on the inside of the mouth and will cause pain or injury. Our veterinarians will go in and file these points back down to create a smooth surface. The filing is not an issue for horses as their teeth continue to grow (erupt) throughout their lifetime. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your horses’ dental health, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 307-745-7341! Thank you to Dr. Dave and Pickles!

Our doctors have been busy in The Equine Center! Dr. Beacom has been working with CSU’s Vet Teaching Hospital to treat a horse with an infection in its sinus caused by a bad tooth. We flush the sinus with fluid to drain any debris and clear infection through the nose. Sedation is provided to the horse to make the treatment more comfortable. This guy is pretty sleepy in the pictures!
Dr. Johnson also had a successful C-section and we wanted to share pictures of the new calf! We are always excited when a C-section ends with a successful outcome for both mom and baby.

Today, our techs and Dr. Petersen had the privilege to assist wildlife biologist, Mike Lockhart, with radiographing a golden eagle. For reference, our radiograph table is 5ft long! That is one impressive wing span.
Mike let us know that some common causes of golden eagle mortality are wind turbines, predation by other eagles, poaching, and poisoning from lead shots that are used to kill prey animals (such as prairie dogs) that they feast on.
Here is a fun bird fact from our technician, Yvie! Birds have pneumatized bones, which means their bone is hollowed out with small air pockets. Air sacs that make up the birds’ lungs are attached to these pockets and allow for birds to take in oxygen both during inhalation and exhalation. This supplies them with all the oxygen they need for flight!
