Facial trauma either by a kick or running into an object is extremely common in horses and often leads to facial fractures as most of the skull is covered by thin bones that act as the roof of the paranasal sinuses. At TEH, we are able to treat these complicated injuries surgically and restore cosmesis. #tnequine #equinehospital #equineveterinarian #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equine

Scapular fractures can be hard to identify due to the muscle mass covering the area and the difficulty to see them clearly on x-rays. At TEH, we use a combination of x-rays and ultrasound imaging to diagnose these fractures. #tnequine #equinehospital #equineveterinarian #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equine

The point of the hock is an area extremely susceptible to lacerations and punctures. Unfortunately, the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) with its bursa, the subcutaneous bursa and the calcaneal bone are at that level and frequently damaged during trauma requiring advanced surgical management. #tnequine #equinehospital #equineveterinarian #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equine

Foot abscesses are extremely common in equine practice and most resolve with medical treatment such as foot pairing to let it drain, poultices/foot bandages, foot soaking and analgesics. Antibiotics are not even needed in most cases. However, in cases like this one, surgery is required. #tnequine #equinehospital #equineveterinarian #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equine

Umbilical hernia is a congenital problem that is common in horses and is due to a gap in the abdominal wall by the navel/umbilicus that lets abdominal organs live under the skin. At TEH, we treat them routinely via surgery. #tnequine #equinehospital #equineveterinarian #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equine

Thorns, wires, and pieces of wood can penetrate the skin and migrate through tissue. In this video, we present a case with a superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) foreign body removed minimally invasively by Dr. Alvaro Bonilla at Tennessee Equine Hospital. #tnequine #equinehospital #equineveterinarian #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equine
