Ohhhh Ben! 🪡🪡

Ben did quite the number on his face two weeks ago. But he was an excellent patient and didn’t mess with his stitches at all! And after the hair grows back in, you’ll only see a faint scar! Good boy!

Miranda, we’ll miss you but wish you all the best in senior year!!

Miranda spent six weeks with us this summer in order to complete an internship for her veterinary technician degree from Wilson College. She did a great job with us and got a ton of experience! We will miss her incredibly energetic, positive attitude and hard work ethic!

While the little reflecting pool was beautiful and serene, unfortunately, just not safe to have around horses!

The love and care, the original owner put into this place was so immense!

Rabies ALERT. Rabies found in a groundhog in Frederick, MD.

Are your horses up to date??

Rabies is the only zoonotic disease of horses in the US (this means it is transmissible to HUMANS.- yes, you!!! And it is 100% fatal!

One BEFORE/AFTER view of our barn!

I wish we had the complete history, but unfortunately, we weren’t given all of the details at purchase. But from what we were told, the barn originated in Pennsylvania, was dismantled and brought here to be rebuilt.

The cabin is dated back to the 1700s from North Carolina and was also brought here and rebuilt on a modern foundation, modern plumbing and electricity. More photos to come!

As national farriers week comes to a close, we just wanted to take a quick opportunity to say thank you to these hard-working men and women! It is an absolute pleasure and honor to work with you. Some of my favorite people on this planet are farriers (you know you are!). I love to learn from and work with you!

Thank you!

Tag or post a pic of your beloved farrier below!! They are too numerous to name in one post (and lots don’t have social media 🙈)

✨Superficial Flexor Tendonitis aka Bowed Tendon ✨

Great guesses! This older lesson pony came up acutely lame one day. She lives a pretty amazing, quiet life so this is a bit of an interesting injury! She does have a history of Cushing’s, as well as a bit of a club foot confirmation in this left front foot. These can be predisposing conditions, along with some good old fashioned bad luck.

Regardless, with long-term rest (bc this one was severe), anti-inflammatories, ice therapy +\- shockwave, and proper trimming, this lady little lady should make a return to her lesson program!

✨Journal Club July ✨

This month, Dr. Maggie presented:

Improving the understanding of normal and pain related donkey mule behavior (McLean et al, 2021)

Main Takeaways included:
✔️ Donkey and mules require different dosages for sedatives and even pain medication compared to horses

✔️ Donkeys and mules are generally in a more advanced stage of distress, but show fewer signs

✔️ They can be very shy breeders 🙈

✔️ Forms of restraint may include twitching, snubbing, tying and even lifting leg with rope (all considered safe and effective)

✔️Hinnies = sire is stallion, dam is donkey

✔️Mules = sire is donkey, dam is horse

✔️ They are SMART

See you next month!

Oh heyyyyy there cutie pie! 🥰

Y’all, meet Oakley 🩵 He might be one of the chillest babies I’ve ever met. What a great way to spend the 4th!

This little fella wraps up our long, rewarding, emotional, sometimes (very) stressful foaling season! But welcome to all our new babies of PenMar, we can’t WAIT to watch you grow and be a part of your journey!

07/05/2024

Happy 🇺🇸4th everyone!

The office will be closed today as well, July 5, to allow staff extra time with their family and friends! We are available for emergencies today and back to regular appointments on Monday! I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!

This modality is incredibly useful for back pain, soft tissue inflammation and for aiding in healing of tendons and ligaments.

🤓🤓 Rounds Topic🤓🤓

We’ve been rounding monthly on various topics/papers recently! This month, our licensed technician Alex presented a paper on hay net use in horses! The main points were:

📍 Hay nets for round bales significantly decrease waste but also body weight (80 lbs!!!) and BCS

📍There are no significant changes to teeth when using a hay net **on a roundbale**

📍The high prevalence of dental abnormalities and conditions found emphasized the need for routine dental care

The paper: Effect of hay nets on horse bodyweight, body conditions score, hay usage and dental health in mature, adult horses.

Authors: M. DeBoer, L. Keener et al

So the ✨ Main Take Away ✨for those that like cliff notes: use a hay net over your round bales and get your horses teeth checked by a vet at least once a year!

These poor foals. Someone send help. Their vet is so needy.

More forced bonding with this beautiful little lady, Esme. 💕 She’s going to be very very fast when she grows up 🐎

Dr. Maggie and her patient Blooming Grove Pride, aka “Pride”!

Our patients definitely come in all shapes and sizes 💕💕

05/30/2024

This technique is part of my training to ensure patients will love me for the rest of their days. It’s called forced bonding. 😬💜

😂 in all seriousness, this foal is the absolute sweetest. He has been handled incredibly well since birth. He’s going to be a solid citizen when grows up!

05/22/2024

Well, if that’s not the most satisfying sound I’ve ever heard, I don’t know what is!

Happy (abscess) Wednesday!!

From @aaephorsedocs 🌞🌞🌞 Today is going to be especially brutal! Please read the above post. Consider avoiding exercise in the hottest part of the day, offer electrolytes and plenty of fresh water! (And don’t forget to drink yourselves!)

Sound Up Abscess

Well, if that’s not the most satisfying sound I’ve ever heard, I don’t know what is! Happy (abscess) Wednesday!!

Follow up from the post last week (sorry for the delay!) This wound is a GREAT example of how any full thickness wound over a joint should be investigated by a vet. Luckily, this wound wasn’t deep enough to affect any of the joints, but it did nick the extensor tendon sheath. Luckily, these can be treated medically without surgical intervention in most cases, but if we had just ignored it & treated it topically there’s a very good chance it could’ve become quite infected. If you are EVER unsure, send us a picture picture! We will know immediately whether or not it’s something that warrants further investigation! #themoreyouknow #horsevet #equinevet #aaep #horsevetsofinstagram #equinevetsofinstagram #ilovemyjob #horsewounds

Love a good slurpy sounding mash! Sound up! We’ve been loving this new product from @purina - Replenimash. Great option for hydration and electrolytes on these really cold days. Also a great option to restart feeding after a colic episode. #purinaequine #replenimash #purinaperformancehorse

🤔🤔🤔 What do you think??

Dr. Sams is now accepting porcine patients!! (Kidding, kidding!!!!! But they are super cute 🐷)

The piece of tissue is from a Sinus flush!!! 🤢😄 That tissue is likely either inspissated pus or a piece of sinus lining that has been infected, and sloughed due to infection. Either way, this horse is feeling MUCH better!!! This is the horses version of a Neti-pot!! 😂 Kelly Beach was the first correct guess! Good job everyone!!

Warning: gross!!! If anyone can guess the origin of this piece of tissue, a PenMar Equine travel mug will be heading your way! No details unless we don’t get any close guesses - then I’ll give you some breadcrumbs 😈 (Please no guessing if you were involved in this case in anyway!)

HEALTH ALERT! The emergency line has already been a bit busy this evening with calls about colic. With all of this weather coming in, it would not be a bad idea to offer extra electrolytes to your friends this evening, and throughout the weekend. Anything you can do to encourage water intake is helpful. ☑️ ensure water troughs do not freeze ☑️ add warm water to grain rations ☑️ add electrolytes to feed or offer water buffet (bucket of plain water, bucket of water with 2 ounces of table salt, bucket of water with 2 ounces of baking soda) Tis the season for colic, especially impaction colic. Do your part to help your horses through these shifting weather patterns!

✨ Acupuncture ✨ This therapy really needs no introduction. The benefits are innumerable. The reaction you see in the video above is extremely common and most horses thoroughly enjoy this process. The licking, chewing and yawning you see here is typical of a “release” and means the horse is fully relaxed and enjoying a nice endorphin (happy hormone) response. We’re so happy you enjoyed yourself Candy ❤️ Schedule an acupuncture session with Dr. Maggie to see where she can help your horse!

2023, it’s been one hell of a ride! But with these ladies, anything is possible. This is one kick ass group of women, let me tell you. Here we come, 2024!! To all of our clients, THANK YOU!! This has been the biggest year for PenMar yet. This is our first full year with a staff of six and these ladies knocked it out of the park. Stay tuned for a big move next year as we continue to grow!! We love you and your horses SO MUCH! Many wishes for a healthy and happy new year for each of you! Dr. Moira 🍾✨

From all of us to all of you, with much love. Merry Christmas 🎄❤️ We are so grateful for our loyal clients. The office will be closed December 25th and 26th, but as always Emergency coverage is available.

Name that procedure! Any ideas why we need this information? 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️

👁️ Debriding Corneal Ulcers 👁️When a corneal ulcer is found, oftentimes if it’s not healing in an appropriate amount of time, we will debride it. Debriding is the act of using a tool (in this example, a dry sterile QTip, but sometimes a diamond burr or scalpel edge) to scrape away dead, non healing corneal tissue. This allows the eye to recognize the lesion and initiate the healing process.This horse is sedated and has corneal numbing drops. And she’s wonderfully behaved ❤️ #horsevet #equinevet #horsesofinstagram #ilovemyjob #equineophthomology #aaep
