On the eve of a potential historic winter storm, the Gulf Coast Animal Health team does it again! This poor boy came in on emergency after a long day in the marsh. The boat ride back to camp was a little more eventful than anticipated and he suffered a pretty serious injury. Fortunately, Dr. Christian Morgan was prepared to fix him right up! He should be back to normal in a few weeks.

The most common reason for performing a pre-purchase exam (PPE) is to evaluate the horse’s soundness. Lameness is the number one cause for loss of use in horses, so this is often the potential buyer’s biggest concern and reason for having the horse evaluated.
Here's what you can expect during the lameness portion of the exam:
1. Initial check- The veterinarian will examine the legs for heat, swelling, or pain.
2. Movement- The horse will be observed in straight lines and circles at a walk and trot.
3. Flexion Test- Specific joints are flexed, and after, the horse is jogged for the veterinarian to spot any lameness.
4. Ridden Exam- Many vets like to observe the horse under saddle to spot subtle issues.
If no significant problems are discovered when evaluating the horse’s gaits, the next step in the exam is often diagnostic imaging of the horse’s legs. The most common imaging includes taking radiographs (X-rays) to evaluate the bones and joints and ultrasound to evaluate the soft tissues (tendons and ligaments). Whether you want to have X-rays and/or ultrasound performed as part of the PPE should be discussed with your veterinarian when you schedule the exam.

There are not as many horses being evaluated for purchase as breeding animals as horses for athletic purposes. The pre-purchase examination (PPE) for breeding is often much more specialized, concentrating on the horse, whether a mare or a stallion, having the normal anatomy and function of the reproductive tract.
Examining mares includes visually inspecting the external portions of the reproductive tract, including the mammary gland, and palpating and/or using ultrasound to view the internal reproductive organs. Samples may be obtained from the uterus to culture for any bacterial infections or to examine the uterus's lining to see if it can maintain a pregnancy.
For stallions, a similar type of examination may be done to evaluate the external reproductive organs, and a semen sample may be taken to assess the number, shape, and motility of the s***m cells. These exams determine the likelihood that the horse, whether a mare or stallion, can produce foals.

Horses have big hearts in both a literal and a figurative sense. Horses typically don't have heart problems as often as people or dogs, but evaluating the heart during a pre-purchase examination (PPE) is still important. During a PPE, your vet will listen to the horse’s heart to determine if the heart is beating at a normal rate with a normal rhythm and to listen for any abnormal sounds like a heart murmur. It's also common to inspect the horse’s jugular veins because, in rare instances, repeated intravenous injections can cause problems with clots or infections of these veins. Veterinarians have additional, more elaborate ways to evaluate the heart, including diagnostic ultrasound and electrocardiograms (ECG). Still, just as with the respiratory tract, these tools are not routinely used when doing a PPE.
