It's getting cold out there!!

Since a lot of our horses are out in the elements this week, make sure to remember the important aspects of helping our Equine friends weather the storm.

Access to water, forage and appropriate shelter are by far the most important aspects of this care.

Help us give a belated welcome to the team to Madison (aka Madi)!

Madi joined us this past fall as a veterinary assistant and client service representative. Her kind, gentle nature and strong work ethic have already made her an invaluable member of the team!

Madison is from Sacramento, California. She grew up visiting Oregon’s coast and always hoped to move here some day. She graduated in 2022 with an Associate’s degree in Biological Sciences. She is planning to continue schooling down the road but is taking some time off to explore her options. Madison has had an infatuation with horses since she was little and has been working with horses for a few years now.

Madison has a background in soccer and dance and loves all things outdoors. When not at work, you can find Madison spending time outside, baking, watching movies and playing with her dogs!

The dental special has only been on for a little over a week and we've already been finding many painful teeth!

These are fractured molars found on routine oral examination using our oral endoscope. Horses don't often have clinical signs when they have dental pain, and it is extremely rare for a horse to stop eating due to painful teeth.

This is a great reminder that a comprehensive oral examination, using either a mirror or oral endoscope, is recommended annually by a qualified veterinarian to ensure optimal oral health.

Our dental special is going on through the end of March! Call now to get on the schedule if your horse is due for an oral exam or dental float.

Have You Ever Wondered How Your Horse's Eye Heals After a Scratch? 👁️

Just like the rest of our body, the cornea has a healing process when it gets scratched or damaged. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

1. Initial Response 🚨
When the cornea gets a scratch or ulcer, the body sends immune cells (think of them as "first responders") to fight off infections.

2. Covering the Wound 🛡️
Next, the cells from the surrounding area start to move in to cover the ulcer. It's like putting a bandage over a cut to protect it from dirt and germs.

3. Building New Cells 🔄
The cornea then starts producing new cells to replace the damaged ones. This is similar to how your skin begins to create new tissue under a scab.

4. Sealing the Area 🩹
These new cells form a layer over the ulcer, sealing it shut. It's like when a scab falls off, revealing fresh skin underneath.

5. Strengthening 💪
Finally, the new tissue matures, and the cornea becomes clear and strong again!

For mild cases, this whole process can happen relatively quickly with some help from medications like antibiotic eye drops. For more severe ulcers, a vet might need to take extra steps to ensure proper healing, like using a special contact lens or even surgery.

Ensure Your Horse’s Comfort and Oral Health with Water-Cooled Dental Floats!

Did you know that aggressive motorized dental floating can cause thermal injury to your horse’s teeth? Teeth are dynamic structures, with their own nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic systems!

Making large corrections in a horse’s mouth requires careful planning, strategic cooling, and close monitoring of pulp horns to prevent injury. Our water-cooled dental floats, combined with mirror and oral endoscopic monitoring, allow us to safely make necessary adjustments without harming the underlying teeth.

The Winter Dental Special is back! From January through March, bring your horse to our temperature-controlled clinic for a complete oral examination using our dental scope and float. Save $47.50 per horse!

Call now to book your spot!

HUGE news has been announced about the development of melanomas in horses!

For many years it has been well known that grey horses are significantly more likely to develop melanomas (melanocytic tumors). These most commonly form on the re**um, sheath, lips and eyelids. These tumors can become quite aggressive, requiring surgical intervention or leading to euthanasia.

Some grey horses are highly prone to melanomas and develop them when they are very young. Others seem to be relatively unaffected. What makes these horses different from one another was a mystery.... until now!

The gene responsible for the high incidence of developing melanomas has been identified and a test is now available at UC Davis to screen for high incidence of melanoma development.

This means grey horses can be screened to see their risk of developing melanomas. Even more exciting - horse breeders can now screen their breeding stock and can now avoid breeding horses that will produce foals with a high incidence of melanomas!

Yay science!

If you guessed peroneus tertius rupture in yesterday's quiz... you were right! The peroneus tertius is a tendon that runs down the front of a horse's hind leg, and it is what connects the stifle and the hock when a horse bends their limb. This is part of the "stay apparatus" that allows a horse to lock its leg and sleep standing up. This tendon can be injured when the horse slips or hyperextends the limb, leading to a disconnect between the hock and the stifle. The classical signs of this injury include a sudden lameness where the hock can easily be extended while the stifle remains flexed. Horses with this injury do remarkably well with stall rest, as the tendon can scar down and become functional again in 3-4 months!

Post-Dental Cuddles

When that post-dental sedation makes for the perfect cuddle opportunity! Have a great weekend everyone! #BlackDiamondVet #HorseVet #BDE #AAEP #Cute #Cats

Dr. Paul was teaching our newest groundskeeper the ropes this week! 😂 No but in all seriousness, how cute is she???! #Cute #horsevet #BlackDiamondVet

Watch this video for tips from Dr. Maura on taking your horse’s temperature! With the horse show season upon us it’s a great time to check your barn thermometer to make sure it’s still working or invest in a new one. #BlackDiamondEquine #HorseVet #BDE #Temperature #DigitalThermometer

Have you seen a horse dozing off while standing like this? It's a myth that horses always sleep standing up! While horses do doze while standing, they do need to enter REM sleep, just like us! They can only do this when lying down, which they need to do for a minimum of 30 minutes per day. If a horse is too nervous or painful to lay down, it commonly leads to sleep deprivation. This horse moved to a new barn where she was too nervous to lie down and sleep. She has since moved back and is doing much better! #sleepdeprivation #BDE #horsevet #BlackDiamondVet

The Black Diamond Story

Born and raised in Central Oregon, Dr. Paul’s first horse was a black pony named Diamond. They spent hours riding the BLM and canal trails north of Bend. Little did he know then that his love of horses, adventure and Central Oregon would lead to opening Black Diamond Equine Veterinary Clinic.

He returned to Central Oregon, where he brings over 11 years of experience as an equine veterinarian and a passion in equine sports medicine and performance. It’s this passion that led him to co-found Black Diamond Equine.

Dr. Paul graduated with his DVM from Oregon State University. He met and married his wife, Dr. Caelli, during vet school. After graduating they packed up their horse trailer and moved to Texas to start their careers.
