Tomorrow is the International Day of Yoga. I credit the stretching and strength work of yoga with keeping me mobile in large animal practice, even after a total knee replacement. Give it a try!

I’m so excited to share that today is LAC&E’s 7th anniversary! The 7th anniversary is copper, so here are some copper-destroyed goat red blood cells! In all seriousness, I do not take for grated the opportunity to interact with so many of you and get to do what I love - share my passion about food animal medicine, share what I’ve learned along the way and mentor current and future rural veterinarians. It is really my honor. Thank you!

I had the opportunity to work on Susie about 15 years ago when she was pregnant with her last baby. So glad to hear the old gal is still with us! 💜

This is Susie from the Sunset Zoo! She celebrated turning 71 yesterday. We hope she enjoyed her birthday festivities. Have a spectacular day, Susie!

Llamas get stones too! Fortunately, not very often though. This male llama presented for stranguria - note the edema in his prepuce. Camelids do not have a vermiform appendage but rather a cartilaginous process - don’t cut it off! In this image, we are holding the cartilage process and using a flexible wire to evaluate patency of the urethra. After hours, of course. ;) Nothing blocks in the daytime.
