With great sadness, we share that last week we lost a member of our team.

Dustin was more than just a valued part of our teamโ€”he was a kind and caring individual who always went out of his way to help others. His positive attitude, generous spirit, and dedication to his work touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

We are grieving this immense loss and keeping Dustinโ€™s family, friends, and loved ones in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

The family will hold a Celebration of Life on November 1, 2025 at 2:00 PM

It is with great sadness that we process the passing of Dr. John McCarroll.
There are few in the equine industry who havenโ€™t heard of him or crossed paths with him at some point. He served as a mentor and teacher to manyโ€”having trained and guided most of the veterinarians in this region of North Texas.

Dr. McCarroll was known for his generosity, kindness, and deep compassion for both horse and human alike. His presence will be profoundly missed, but his legacy and impact on equine veterinary medicine will leave a lasting impression for years to come. Our thoughts go out to his family and all that were close with him.

๐ŸŽ‰ On Fridays we celebrate! ๐ŸŽ‰
This Friday, weโ€™re celebrating a few anniversaries from the last several weeks here at Mid-South Equine. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿด

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ Dr. Alli โ€“ Our surgeon, celebrating 3 years with us! Not only is she a gifted surgeon, she also excels in internal medicine and neonatal care. Her attention to detail and kind hearted personality makes her an exceptional Doctor.

๐Ÿ’‰๐Œ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ง โ€“ Is our anesthesia tech and Dr. Tonyโ€™s tech, whoโ€™s celebrating 2 years! Without her, no surgeries would happen and Tonyโ€™s paperwork would be a mess! From keeping horses asleep to wrangling a wild one, Megan is your gal. Sheโ€™s a vital piece to the puzzle in and out of the operating room.

๐ŸŒŸ๐‚๐š๐ข๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ง โ€“ One of Dr. Daltonโ€™s awesome techs, whoโ€™s also celebrating 2 years! Helping Dalton work through his long appointments, along with helping keep track of patient care is what makes Caitlyn a great tech.

We are so thankful for each of these incredible team members and the heart they bring to Mid-South Equine! ๐Ÿ’™

โš ๏ธ Warning: Graphic Medical Content โš ๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘€ Throwback Thursday ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿฆด This case takes us back to a horse that sustained an injury while turned out, leaving a portion of the bone exposed. Over time, a bone sequestrum formed โ€” a piece of dead bone that separated from the healthy bone.

๐Ÿฉป The x-ray shows the sequestrum prior to removal. Dr.Dalton carefully removed the non viable section of bone, allowing the area to heal. With surgical intervention and diligent aftercare this horse had the best chance of recovery.

๐Ÿด If you have a horse with a non-healing wound a sequestrum could be the cause. Having your veterinarian take x-rays can help determine if this is the case.

๐Ÿด Tuesday Trivia ๐Ÿด

๐Ÿ‘€ Horses have nearly 360-degree vision thanks to their large eyes being positioned on the sides of their head. ๐Ÿ‘€ This allows them to see almost everything around them without moving. The only places they canโ€™t see is directly in front and behind them.
