Sobering statistics about the current status in equine medicine. Unfortunately if there’s not pervasive changes in the whole industry there is going to be a severe shortage of all large animal veterinarians.

A well earned retirement to one of the best veterinary professors out there. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from him.
Kevin Pelzer’s 36-year teaching and clinical background at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine is primarily in large animal medicine and epidemiology, but one of his most memorable experiences involved something much different.

When Northern Dancer arrived at Windfields Farm in Chesapeake City in 1968, he launched a legacy that still resonates today. He sired 147 stakes winners and became known as a "sire of sires," with offspring such as Nijinsky, Danzig, and Sadler's Wells becoming influential sires in their own right.
His impact on the Maryland, and the worldwide, racing industry will be honored tonight when he's inducted into the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame!

It’s difficult for us horse doctors to admit we aren’t superhuman. We’re hardwired to be there for you and your horse whenever you need us. But we’re finally in the midst of an overdue reality check as a profession and admitting that our desire to be available 24/7 isn’t compatible with our own personal health and happiness.
The most significant pain point for many of us is caring for our clients during regular business hours and then being on call for emergencies after hours. If we are a single-doctor or small practice, this traditionally has been the case most nights of the week.
The good news is that the AAEP along with private veterinary practices and veterinary schools are focused on developing new models for emergency care which ease the strain on individual practitioners. This includes the growth of emergency cooperatives where two or more practices in a geographic area work together to share after-hours care, as well as more emergency-only practices and the use of tele-triage services to address client concerns after normal business hours.
As equine veterinarians reevaluate what after-hours care looks like for their practices, we know that the support of our clients is critical to creating a balance that works for both of us. If your horse doctor talks with you about changes in how after-hours care is delivered, we hope you’ll welcome the adjustments, knowing that this evolution of emergency care must take place in order for equine veterinarians to avoid burnout and continue to be available to treat all of our patients. We appreciate our partnership with you, and your horse does too!

We see great results with mesotherapy. It is a great adjunctive treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal issues.
Mesotherapy!
It's gotten some attention recently so what is it?
Mesotherapy involves injecting substances in to the interdermal layer of skin. Only about 4-6mm deep and using very tiny needles.
This technique was developed in France in the 1950s but has become popular in the US in recent years.
How does it work?
Basically it helps reverse the physiology of pain in these conditions to stop the pain cycle. It stimulates this middle later of skin (mesoderm) and uses the gate theory to control pain.
What conditions can mesotherapy help?
Notice we said help, not cure!
SI pain
Kissing spine associated pain
Arthritis in the neck and back
Stiffness in the neck and back
Can be used in combination with other modalities and injections
How often does it need to be done, how many treatments and when may you see results?
Number of treatments depends on the patient and condition but we can see results with only one treatment but depends on severity of the condition.
You can usually expect to see results in 7-10 days
**It is important to diagnose the cause of the pain before diving into treatments that may or may not be beneficial for your horse.
Give us a call if you think this is something that can help your horse.
