I sure love helping the babies ❤️‍🩹

Dedication to her profession….Thank You
Dr Alicia Foley of Equanimity Equine Internal Medicine for always putting your patients first, no matter what time of day or night it is !!!

Having a neonatal specialist on site is very helpful during breeding season, and we are grateful to have Dr Foley!

PS the foal has no clue that she is writing a list of medicine he needs for who knows how long 😆 !!!

The events 22 years ago today started my journey to become a veterinarian.

I lived 45 minutes from the city that day and there aren't words to adequately explain the thoughts and feelings of that day and the following days.

When I asked my mom won't I be too old when I graduate vet school she said the time will pass anyway do what you want to do.

In the aftermath of so much bravery and sacrifice when faced with such terror it was hard not to want to make a difference. I use this day every year to remember those lost and remind myself that feeling that started this journey to make a difference.

I will be out of office Sunday, August 27th at a horse show. I won't have great phone access until the evening so likely will be unavailable for emergencies.

Suture removal day for this kid! It stayed together pretty well, just lost the tip of the flap and that's already granulated in.. just a little more wound care left to mimimize scar formation...

31/07/2023

This was harder to close than it looks, it was not old but the flap had stuck down and retracted a little.

Luckily we got it closed.

Thanks to techniques learned from Warren Beard during vet school at KSU.

He passed away this past week unexpectedly but I use the things he taught me daily.

So far the c**t is healing well 🤞

The horse community lost another great member yesterday. This year seems filled with lots of great people gone too soon that have left huge holes not just in their families but also in our community with their absences. It makes you re evaluate your life and how you live it. I think the best way we can honor them and their memories is to help take up the "slack" left in their wake. Every person lost fits the description of a "helper" by Mr Rodgers. So it's up to us to help fill those spaces and become helpers ourselves.
It's easy to get lost in our own struggles and the world on our phones, but we have to keep our eyes up and look around for those that need a little help. It's amazing what something as little as a smile, "good luck" or a small act of kindness can can make in a person's day. Keep the legacies of those lost alive and look for ways to get involved be a helper. The more we help each other the stronger our community becomes. 💙

Good Information about Choke!

Espophageal obstruction, or “choke,” is a common equine emergency but can look alarming, especially if you've never seen it before. Unlike in human medicine, where choking refers to a tracheal (or windpipe) obstruction, choke in horses refers to an obstruction of the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.

Most commonly, choking occurs when horses eat concentrated feed too quickly without chewing it appropriately, which results in a firm bolus lodged in the animal's esophagus. However, esophageal obstruction can also occur with hay or straw, hard treats, carrots, or nonfood objects. Poor dentition, which leads to inadequate chewing, is also a frequent cause of choke.

While common, chokes can have serious consequences so be sure to call your veterinarian as soon as you notice signs of choke. A bad choke is fairly obvious to both veterinarians and horse owners, but a mild choke could be confused with an upper respiratory tract infection or colic.

Have you ever heard of delayed primary wound closure?🤷‍♀️

It means you have an area that's really contaminated and can't be closed right away, so you have to wait! ⏰

It can't be used all the time, but we did for this horse that had a laceration with open sinus and fractured deviatlized pieces of the frontal bone.

The bone fragments were removed and wound cleaned and sinus lavaged until things were clean enough to close! 🥳(About 2 days in this case)
