Bud presented to TAH for a possible broken back left leg after missing for the night. It was apparent after initial exam and x-ray that Bud had unfortunately been shot with a firearm and sustained a terrible comminuted open fracture of the tibia (shin bone). The owners were willing to move forward with repair and understood the potential for a long recovery due to the high likelihood of delayed healing and infection of the fracture. We repaired the tibia with a plate and rod reconstruction to stabilize the limb. Aggressive antibiotics were begun prior to the surgery but at the second recheck/ rebandage appointment post-op, infection was present and current antibiotics were not effective. Culture of the surgery site showed a resistant Staph infection so antibiotics were adjusted to provide better coverage for the nasty infection that the bullet caused. The skin began to slough on the lower limb so open wounds were managed using our Phovia Light treatment to encourage granulation tissue. As time progressed, Bud continued improving and using the limb more and more each day. Infection cleared and the skin healed over. Bud is now back to doing what he loves - playing and running loose in the yard as a good lab should!! (See comments for video of this sweet boy!! 🖤)

These two ladies were our first hospitalized mare/foal pair this year!! Mom had an uneventful delivery around 2 am Monday morning; however, she retained her fetal membranes (placenta), which mares should pass within two hours of birth. The knowledgeable owner loaded up mom and baby first thing in the morning and arrived at TAH by 10 AM. Dr. Chastain was able to easily remove the placenta. Further treatment included uterine lavage, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory medication. The filly was STRONG and vigorous throughout her visit 💗. Both went home Wednesday and continue to do well 🙏🏻🤞🏻🙌🏻.

February is Veterinary Dental Month! We are sliding in at the last minute, but luckily your pet's dental health should be a priority year round!

For our dogs and cats, oral health is VERY important to overall health. Dental disease can cause many other problems within the body if not treated appropriately. By providing better oral health care prevention options, we can better assure that your pet is in the best overall condition. Dental cleanings under anesthesia are just part of the options that can be recommended for your pet. Regular teeth brushing, chews and treats are other options we would love to discuss with you at your pet's next visit.

Horses have teeth that erupt throughout their life, leading to sharp points and imbalances within the mouth, leading to difficulty eating and decreased performance. Most adult horses need to have their teeth floated every 1-2 years. All of our equine veterinarians are very experience and skilled at floating.

Contact our office today to discuss and/or schedule your pet's dental care!

Sierra is an 8-yr-old Bernese Mountain dog owned by one of our licensed technicians, Annette Stauffer. Last summer, Sierra began coughing which prompted Dr. D'Amico to take x-rays. Her chest radiographs showed several masses in the lungs. Through a series of tests, Dr. D'Amico determined that the masses were cancerous tumors characterized as Histiocytic Sarcomas. This type of cancer often responds to chemotherapy and in Sierra's case we were able give an oral chemotherapy tablet once every three weeks to achieve remission. We are so happy for Annette and Sierra!!

The outlined chest radiograph below was taken 8/6/24. The second was taken 12/31/24. A great way to enter the new year!!

Who can recognize this breathing pattern that is often seen in horses in the southeast this time of year?

Here’s a look at a typical day’s surgery schedule with Dr. D’Amico from a few weeks ago. #spayandneuteryourpets #vetmedlife #weloveourpatients

Mule colt 🤎
Mule colt 🤎

This little guy was born last week. He’s a draft mule—from a Belgian mare and mammoth Jack stud. Due to having donkey factor in his blood, his platelets (which help with clotting) were destroyed by his mom’s antibodies when he ingested her colostrum. This is a very uncommon disorder called neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. It leads to excessive bleeding—this sweet boy bled from his umbilicus and formed hematomas very easily. He has been treated by Dr. Chastain since the day following birth and is now 12 days old and doing well!! The disease gradually resolves as the antibodies degrade; antibiotics, steroids, and careful management were also used in his case. We are happy to report that he is now healthy enough to kick our butts during treatment 😂💪🏻🤎
