It’s such a honor to be the veterinarian of some of the best horses in the world. I have “pinch me” moments constantly. Forte, Tapit Trice, Kingsbarns, Gambling Girl, thank you. You guys show me every day that dreams do come true. Things happen for a reason and I can’t question God for it. At the end only one wins, and even if I want for all of you to win, my biggest wish is that you all come back home safely. 🙏🏻⁣
⁣
Best of luck to all contenders and teams!⁣

Did you know horses can be castrated standing or laying down?🐴✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Castrations might sound like a drastic procedure, but it’s actually a routine and necessary part of equine healthcare. At the racetrack it is common practice to perform these with the horse standing while sedated and with local analgesia. As a vet, I take every precaution to ensure the horses comfort and safety during the process.👩🏼‍⚕️🩺⁣⁣

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless liquid that circulates around the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and protection to the central nervous system. In some cases, it may be necessary to obtain a sample of CSF from an equine patient for diagnostic purposes (such as diagnosing EPM, EDM, etc.). There are different techniques for collecting CSF, including the atlanto-occipital route, which involves accessing the subarachnoid space through the space between the atlanto-occipital joint.

This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia contrary to the lumbosacral route, which is usually under standing sedation. The volume of CSF that can be obtained through the atlanto-occipital route is often larger than that obtained through other techniques, which can be beneficial for diagnostic purposes. Additionally, the CSF obtained through this route is less likely to be contaminated with blood or other fluids from the surrounding tissues. This route allows for better visualization of the needle and the surrounding tissues, which can facilitate the placement of the needle in the correct location (last image is a graphic provided for better visualization). This can be especially important in cases where the anatomy is abnormal or where previous surgeries or injuries have altered the normal anatomy.

Overall, the atlanto-occipital route can be a useful technique for obtaining CSF in equine patients, especially in cases where a myelogram is going to follow, like in this particular case. For a myelogram the contrast is administered through the same needle after obtaining the sample.

Being able to take radiographs anywhere with my portable X-ray equipment is such an amazing tool to have! Wether it’s an emergency or just a “let me make sure everything looks alright” situation, it’s always nice to be able to confirm a diagnosis.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In this particular picture I am taking X-rays of this patients right carpus. The exact view I’m taking is called a dorsal 45 ° lateral-palmaromedial-oblique. On the second picture you can see my radiograph and on the third there’s a diagram outlining the anatomy. (Diagram obtained from “Clinical Radiology of the Horse” by Janet A. Butler, et al.)⁣⁣

•• Also don’t forget to use your markers! Mine is not pictured because my image was too big for Instagram🤪 ••⁣⁣

•What is it and why do we do it? ⁣⁣⁣
A Caslicks surgery, also known as Vulvoplasty, is a common surgical procedure veterinarians perform on mares with abnormal v***ar/perineal conformation. The procedure is done to secure the outer barrier and protect the mare against air, environmental contaminants (such as f***s), and/or repair previous damage from parturition. If bacteria or fungal organisms are aspirated along with the air, a uterine infection can develop resulting in poor reproductive performance of the mare or even abortion if pregnant.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
•How do vets do it? ⁣⁣⁣
The procedure entails numbing of the v***al lips, trimming the edges and then suturing those edges tightly. As you can notice the lower third of the v***a is not sutured to allow normal urination. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
•••Always remember that when placing a caslicks you must later open for foaling!•••⁣⁣⁣

Getting to see my patients perform their best is an indescribable feeling💛⁣
⁣
The Saratoga meet is officially over and they’re off to their next destination. Working this almost 8-week meet was completely different to anything I’ve ever done. It entailed long mornings of getting horses ready for training and long afternoons of racing, but I definitely enjoyed every second of it. Thankfully some afternoons I was off duty and got to enjoy the races with my love .rhim 🥰⁣
