Here, Chaps is getting a therepeutic laser treatment. We have had a lot of success in speeding up wound healing with these treatments.
Where there is a will, there is a way! And there is no keeping this silly Fjord from some grass! While we were a little startled to find this today, the owner assured us that this cute girl will often lay down next to the fence to mow the grass a little further away and has figured out how to keep herself safe while doing so.
The show season is quickly approaching! As you get your horse prepared, CVEC and Boehringer Ingelheim Equine Health will be running a promotion from March 1, 2022 - April 30, 2022. For every $200 spent on Gastrogard, Legend, or Hyvisc*, your name will automatically be entered in a drawing to win a Yeti Hopper M30 Cooler (value $350) and other great swag!
*Please note that these are prescription medications for your horse, so if they are not currently prescribed for them and you have questions, please reach out as they may or may not be appropriate for your horse's specific circumstances*
When the vet says she would like all of the horses put up in stalls for her arrival... 😆 there is always one who thinks differently!
#HappyVetTechWeek!
#HappyVetTechWeek to our amazing Certified Veterinary Technicians!
Did you know?
Becoming a certified tech requires an Associate's Degree from an accredited veterinary technician program, internships, passing a boards exam, and maintenance of licensing with continuing education.
Vet techs have a great depth of knowledge concerning the care of our horses - they know and understand the uses for the medications on our trucks and in the clinic, how they should be administered, and things to watch for that would indicate complications.
One of the most important parts of a CVT's job in equine practice is to keep EVERYONE safe - the patient, the veterinarian performing the procedure, the owner, and all bystanders. They are trained on safe horse handling specific to veterinary medicine and constantly thinking of strategies to improve safety for everyone involved in your horse's care.
We are so thankful to every CVT in the profession, but especially the three we hold near and dear - Emily, Ashley and Rachelle. You guys rock, and we thank you for your hard work!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our challenge to bring a little happiness to Facebook by sharing pictures or our equine partners. So many good lookin’ horses!!

Ready for a rare and interesting case?
Today Dr. Mary Galle removed a sialolith, which is a stone that forms in the salivary duct. The stone forms around a nidus such as a piece of straw or feed material that blocked the duct. As time goes on, very similarly to a pearl, mineral deposit from the horse’s saliva forms in layers around the foreign body. In order to remove the stone, an incision is made from the inside of the mouth and the sialolith can then be pushed out of the incision, which you can see in this video!
Headed into the weekend like...
