🤩 Principles of Cryotherapy for Skin Tumors 🐴
Mammalian cells are destroyed at -20°C (-4°F) due to ice crystal formation, leading to cell membrane rupture and dehydration. Rapid freezing causes significant intracellular ice, and slow thawing results in recrystallization, which increases cell damage. Effective cryotherapy involves 3-4 freeze/thaw cycles, with liquid nitrogen being the most commonly used.
Equine sarcoids are the most frequently treated tumors, with success rates of 60%-100%. Cryotherapy's success improves with experienced veterinarians and multiple treatments. Cryotherapy can also treat other skin conditions like Squamous Cell Carcinoma often without general anesthesia, making it suitable for outpatient procedures. At DCLAH, we use the Brymill Veterinary Cryogenic System.

**Exciting News! 🍼🐴** Dr. Klein had a fun morning helping a month-old mammoth foal learn to drink after losing her mama. The new owners thought she was much younger than she actually was and couldn’t get her to eat despite many attempts. They brought her to DClAH for evaluation, and Dr. Klein worked his magic! She mixed up some formula, used a human baby bottle, and the baby latched right on, drinking the entire bottle! We love happy endings for our little ones! 📞 Contact us (336) 998-7131🌐 Visit our website: [www.largeanimalhospital.com](http://www.largeanimalhospital.com)--Emily Klein
