Had a visitor in my truck at East Tennessee Miniature Horse and Donkey Rescue last week. She wanted to lay her egg in the truck so bad kept scratching and sitting until we had to remove her.

Worked on a 6 month goat that had broken his horn off on something, now a Unicorn 😂. It was hanging on at the back edge with a little tissue and a huge blood clot in the hair. Had to sedate him to remove the rest of the horn and used the dehorn iron to cauterize the wound. Bandaged his head for a couple days.

It's that time of year again. 🤣

Wounds are a large part of my business along with emergencies this time of the year. Sutured up this large flap of skin on a horses shoulder yesterday. Luckily just skin and it came back together nicely. Of course we are never in a sterile environment with farm animals and did not lacerate themselves on a sterile item, so dehissance of the wound, opening up due to infection, is always a greater risk in our farm animals. We use antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications to help prevent this post surgical procedures. Fingers always crossed for proper healing and that the animal doesn't rub the wound also. Don't forget the best and most successful time to suture a wound closed is within 8 hrs after injury. Another note is do not put anything on or in the wound if you want it closed other then water before the veterinarian arrives. Some medications or treatments cause more problems for primary closure.

Always important to xray a foot with a foreign body/ nail in it before pulling the nail. This is to make sure what structures could be involved. Two views at least should be taken( we did on this horse I just didn't take pics of other two views. )
Luckily this horse did well and no deeper structures involved.

I need to get better at posting interesting cases on my business page again. So two mouth related cases this week. First I had an old horse 30+ today for a dental and he had no upper teeth on the rt side. None. And he had a tumor / mass between his only 2 teeth on the upper lt side. His mom has been feeding lots of mash and he is in good weight still.
Last week had a horse making odd noises not eating or drinking. Found a ulcer in top of mouth on soft palate. Under sedation found a brier 8" long stuck down his throat. The end was poking up into soft palate. Had to pull it out with towel clamps. Geeze.

Some cute little goat kids I saw this morning. Momma didn't pass all her placenta. Got momma fixed up. Kids also showed signs of selenium deficiency so they got BOSE shots. And the worst one we taped his legs to help him for a day or two.
