PSA: if your horse is even mildly colicky- please contact your veterinarian ahead of time to give them a heads up instead of waiting all day to see if it gets better. Generally if they aren't better with banamine in an hour they need to be seen.

I rather get an update that fluffy is doing fine then not hear from you and then get a text at 9pm saying he's down and thrashing. It helps plan our day and time much better and could save your horse and money.

Sincerely- a vet that has seen three bad colics in the last few days.....

Joint injections

In today’s age- athletes are competing at higher levels and at younger ages. What does that mean? It means horses are needing to be maintained and even prevention exams done more frequently.

What are signs your horse is needing an exam/injections?

-changes in behavior while in work (bolting, not turning, refusal of alley way, ear pinning, not wanting to be caught/loaded)
-poor performance (consistent times are getting slower, not finishing turns, inconsistency)
-change in gait (over stepping, pulling shoes, becoming choppy, bunny hopping)
-much more

How frequent do we recommend exams?
For my personal horses we tend to do them 4x a year (mainly before bigger races). This is a preventive thing to catch things before they become an issue. We recommend atleast twice a year for your athletes.

Type of injections:

There are different type of injections (regenerative vs steriod). Depending on the degree of lameness, joint changes on X-rays, and need of athlete- is what I base on what we inject. My top choice is generally Prostride (regenerative).

Here is an athlete(sedated and sterile prep done prior) that started having some behavior changes in the arena- lameness exam showed soreness to hocks- minimal response but there.

However look at the poor fluid that is dripping out of his DIT joint (second needle stick). All four hock joints (TMT/DIT) had inflammatory fluid on today’s appoitnement. His X-rays are clean.

This is a prime example of how we use X-rays to help guide but not treat our patients. They hold a good baseline for us.

He will get two days off, and light riding on day 3, then back to work.

Keep in mind most Injections can take up to two weeks see them fully working. So use that to time you exams/Injections

Contact us to get your athletes in the books!

Attention all clients!

With the recent developments of the positive EIA outbreak here in Texas, we’d like to remind everyone about the importance of having annuals done with your veterinarian! Annuals include coggins tests, oral exams/dental floats, vaccinations, and physical exams. In order to maintain a Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship these are the minimum requirements with most veterinary practices. Making sure you maintain a VCPR with your veterinarian ensures your eligibility to receive emergency care as well as utilizing services such as an online pharmacy to keep supplies and frequently used medications on hand. At minimum, you should have your veterinarian out to service your horses’ annual needs once a year. For performance horses or horses that travel frequently for shows or pleasure, we advise having your veterinarian out biannually for overall wellness exams and their vaccination boosters (i.e. Strangles, Influenza)

Keeping a current VCPR helps us help you and your horses when they need it. If you would like to schedule for annual wellness exams/vaccines/coggins/etc please feel free to send us a text, call, or message us on Facebook and we’d be happy to get you on the books. As always, thank you all for your continued support and we hope you and your horses are all doing well and staying healthy!

Good morning clients- a few PSAs

As the heat is approaching this is a big reminder that elective sedated procedures(dentals mainly) need to be done asap.

If you are needing dentals done- we will need barn with fans.

This is for the safety of our patient’s as the sedation we use increases body temperature and with 100+ temperature this is not an ideal situation if not needed.

Also if you are needing an appointment do not wait till a couple days before you are needing one. Right now we are booking 1-2 weeks out pending location.

With the heat factor we will probably limiting appointment time slots as well.

Please shoot us a text or call at 832-777-3056 to schedule your appointments

We like to take this time to announce with heavy hearts we will no longer be servicing SETX monthly after our May trip. After much consideration and running numbers it has been a hard call.

We have enjoyed having each of you down in our old area along for our journey. We are grateful for all of your support along the way. We will happily forward any records you are needing to whoever gets the pleasure of taking you on as a client.

As of now our May trip has a few slots open if you're wanting in on our last trip.

We hope in the future we are able to hire a local vet for that area to cover it once again.

We couldn't have made it without you all and we are sad to make this decision .

🥹❤️ Dr. T and the Diamond GM Team
