⭐️ Lameness With A View ⭐️

Due to the recent piggies 🐖 tearing up our grass area where we trot horses, we have moved our grass lameness exams and now Bubbles the 🐈 has something to watch!

The next few pics will be demonstrating how difficult wounds can be healed and what the final outcome looks like once healed.

This equine patient's treatment plan was simple: antibiotics, NSAIDs, surgardine bandages, hydro therapy, wound cream, food, water, time and love.

🌟Acute Lameness🌟

This patient was found acutely lame, the owner administered an NSAID and made an appointment.

Upon examination, this patient was a grade 4/5 lame, had an increased digital pulse and heat appreciated between the heel bulbs.

What do you think is going on? See pic.

Radiographs and a diagnostic block were offered.

A few days later, this patient became significantly more sound and comfortable.

This patient made a full recovery.

🌟Name This Procedure 🌟

Reasons why October is my favorite month for this surgery:

🌟Not as many flies compared to 1 month ago

🌟Typically nice weather

🌟Not raining every other day=Muddy Mess

Why are these factors important?

Paying attention to environmental factors can help reduce complications seen due to: exercising in muddy conditions, open incision healing in the face of peak fly season, etc...

Drop the name of the procedure in the comments box.

🌟 RLP 🌟

Regional Limb Perfusions are an excellent way to deliver a high concentration of antibiotics to the distal limb in horses.

This pic demonstrates a sedated horse, with a tourniquet secured in place, a butterfly catheter, and administration of antibiotics in the vein.

🌟Taking a Stance 🌟

Observing how a patient stands naturally can help us determine which leg is painful even before we evaluate the horse moving.

This is a pic of a horse standing naturally* (naturally*-not being set up to stand a certain way).

What leg do you think is painful in this horse?

A. The one in front
B. The one in back

Sometimes we need to collect synovial fluid to investigate what might be going on in the joint.

🌟Acute, Severe, Lameness 🌟

No matter how diligent you are in maintaining your fence line and pastures things can still happen.

This patient was brought out of the pasture grade 4/5 lame and a wire was clearly sticking out of the hoof.

The important tip here is do NOT remove the wire before imaging takes place.

By keeping the wire in, we are able to see what possible structures are involved.
