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.

This little guy is showing off his pirate bandage (but got photo-bombed by his best friend). Unfortunately, he got kicked in his left eye, which damaged it beyond repair. To prevent him suffering, Dr. Harms did surgery to remove the damaged eye the next day, and he is now doing well and won't have to worry about it at all! The bandages will come off soon once the site has healed.

Ever felt how hot a horse's hoof can get when they have a foot abscess? Areas of inflammation in the body cause increased bloodflow, which shows up on a thermal camera as heat.
Which front foot do you think is affected??

We love this horse! She is a solid trail riding horse but has developed some arthritis in her neck and left stifle. We treated her neck a few weeks ago and here we are treating her stifle with some medication to help keep her going down the trail comfortably. She's a little jumpy to needles in general but did very well for the injection.
