๐๐ด Congratulations, Ella! ๐ด๐
We are incredibly proud and happy for Juan's best barn helper, Ella, on her high school graduation! ๐
Ella is the kind of young person anyone would be lucky to have on their team. Every morning before school, she came to the clinic to feed horses, muck stalls, and tackle any other barn task with a smile. Her graciousness, joy, and old-school work ethic make her a true pleasure to work with.
We are excited to congratulate Ella on her graduation and wish her much success as she heads to Kansas State this fall to study animal science. ๐๐

Understanding Your Horse's Digital Pulse with Dr. Baxter
Regularly checking your horse's digital pulse is a crucial aspect of their health care. It serves as an early warning system, allowing you to identify signs of inflammation. Detecting an abnormal pulse enables you to take prompt action, potentially preventing conditions from worsening.
To find the digital pulse, feel just behind the fetlock. Feel for a soft area and gently place your thumb on one side and your finger on the other to feel the pulse.
You can also check the pulse at the back of the pastern. Turn your hand the other way and use light pressure to find the pulse.
If your horse's pulse is stronger or faster than typical when they haven't been exercising, it could mean inflammation in the foot, which is a potential clinical signs of a hoof abscess or laminitis. Noticing this sign of inflammation early can help ensure you get your horse care promptly and possibly reduce the severity of symptoms.
Stay tuned for more tips from Dr. Baxter and the Mid-Rivers Equine Centre to keep your horse healthy!

Oh, the things we see and the things owners get surprised with.
This young man came in for a simple foot abscessโsurprise, surprise -Dr. Devereux found a very loose incisor on this three-year-old. The loose tooth was likely due to a previous injury. After pulling, Dr. Devereux noted the inside of the tooth was partially hollow, making it clear the tooth was dead.
