Tools Fair at school! Dr. Harms and technicians Erin and Hannah showing the school kids various tools we use in Equine Medicine to diagnose and treat horses, including how we pass our 10 foot long endoscope into the stomach or airways to evaluate for problems. Previously we had to refer horses for this, but as of earlier this year we have this capability which allows for more rapid diagnosis and treatment.

This gelding had an episode of drooling and not eating, then seemed to be returning to normal. However, he had some inflammation on his blood work that was not going away that told us there was still a problem. He started developing some swelling under his jaw so we looked with ultrasound and X-ray and found this foreign object deep in the tissues under his tongue. Can you tell what it is?

This video shows a needle going into the navicular bursa using ultrasound guidance, and synovial fluid dripping out. This technique has several advantages including that we can avoid poking through the Deep Digital Flexor Tendon in the process. We can then medicate the bursa to help with healing or pain relief in horses with navicular syndrome or deep tendon tears.

See the video in the comments for more of the ultrasound guiding part.

Even Unicorns get foot abscesses? We rechecked Ricky's foot today (it's doing great) and he was so very festive that Hannah and Erin couldn't resist taking a picture with him.

what would you do if you found this in your horse's foot? We had a recent patient that had been found lying down and unwilling to get up, and this nail was found in the foot.
Once we evaluated the horse, the nail had already been removed so after some searching we found the tract along the frog and inserted a metallic probe (paper clip) into the tract and took an x-ray. Then we instilled a liquid that is opaque to x-rays, which showed a significantly larger extent of the tract. The nail had grazed along the deep flexor tendon, but fortunately didn't enter the coffin joint or navicular bursa. We performed several regional limb antibiotic perfusions (antibiotics in the foot blood vessels while a tourniquet is placed), IV and oral antibiotics, and foot bandaging for a month. His owners showed tremendous dedication, and fortunately the horse is currently sound and has recovered well.
Unfortunately not all horses are so lucky with nails, and these are considered true horse emergencies. One hint is that if you ever find a nail, try to call your vet for advice before pulling it out as an x-ray with the nail in place can provide a lot of information.
