Preventive Care

Dental Care
Routine dental care is as important to your horse's health as it is to yours. We have been trained extensively in power flotation, which is the most efficient and effective way to have your horse's teeth floated.
Vaccination
Clinical Signs: Dribbling Urine, Hind limb ataxia, Progressing to recumbency; Confirmation Date: 1/26/2021; Horse Status: Euthanized; Vaccination Status: Vaccinated;
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Dr. Callie has a special interest in ophthalmology, dentistry, and takes particular care in educating her clients on preventative health and nutrition. Her passion for her career is seen in the relationships she develops with her clients, and the compassion she has for their horses. The never-ceasing challenge of equine medicine keeps the job interesting, and has her readily seeking education to develop new skills to continue to become a better veterinarian for her patients. Dr. Callie lives on the Mattaponi River near King William. Her clan includes her Golden Retriever, Mae, and Boston Terrier, Nitro, who eagerly ride along every day to assist at the appointments. Holding down the fort at home are her kitties Belle, Target, and Hank, as well as Chez the Chinchilla! She definitely has a work hard, play hard mentality and enjoys fitness and obstacle course racing, along with all types of outdoor activities including, but not limited to, kayaking, boating, hiking, skiing, and riding. She enjoys a challenge, and is always looking for the next mud run or outdoor activity to get involved in.
Nutritional Counseling
Owners often find themselves “throwing the feed at ‘em” without getting the weight gain expected from the amount of feed being provided. The first thing to do? –you got it, have your veterinarian come out to check him. Your vet will be able to discuss the possibility of disease, ulcers, parasites, or bad teeth. Horses’ teeth are continually erupting, and in doing so grind unevenly creating points (which can feel like wearing braces, cutting into the cheeks) and also a hook on the upper front molar and the bottom back molar. These points and hooks prevent your horse from being able to grind their teeth in the natural circular motion while chewing. A common question we get is how horses in the wild deal with this problem. The answer is based around the change in lifestyle we created for them when we first fenced them in. Horses in the wild are constantly eating. And they are eating a diet that is much coarser, made up of coarser grasses and oftentimes things like tree bark, that all help to naturally grind their teeth. Also, the cold truth of it is that horses in the wild don’t often live much past 10 years or so. Because chewing is the first step of digestion, the lack of being able to grind seriously hinders your horse’s digestion ability. Without being able to actually absorb the nutrients that he is consuming, the amount of feed your horse is getting often becomes a moot point. This is especially critical to consider for the geriatric horse. Your horse will begin to lose teeth around the age of 25. As they lose more and more teeth, their ability to chew their grains and also their hay decreases. In this situation a senior, complete feed is crucial. The senior feed is designed to be able to break down and be digested without needing to be chewed first. Because it is a complete feed, it has all the fiber and other nutrients your horse needs. Having your horse’s teeth floated should be part of his routine healthcare, and depending on his breed, lifestyle, and age, should be done around once every 1-2 years.
Comprehensive Examination
Physical Exam: Mr. Pickle's vital signs were all within normal limits. The only abnormalities noted were a grade III/V lameness on the right hind limb and 2.5cm of metal implement protruding from the lateral sulcus of the frog, approximately 3cm behind the point of the frog.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Your mare should be in good body condition coming into foaling. She should appear mildly fleshy and have regular deworming. All mares need to be removed from all fescue grass and hay 45 days before foaling. Any grass in the pasture should be suspect unless inspected by your veterinarian or county cooperative extension agent. All orchard grass pastures must be reseeded every other year to avoid fescue grass invasion. Also, your mare needs to be vaccinated 4-8 weeks before foaling to allow the mare’s milk to have high antibody productions.
Pain Management
Congress is trying to enforce a law that will make it illegal for Mobile Veterinarians - LIKE US!! - to carry controlled substances. These substances are used by most mobile vets daily for sedation, pain control, surgeries, and euthanasias.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
A bee sting, medication, or snake bite may cause severe swelling. This is especially concerning if it occurs in the face and throat. Symptoms may include noisy or labored breathing, swelling of the face, muzzle, or throat, hives, etc. Should this happen, you should contact your vet immediately to begin treatments to bring down the swelling, and prevent further damage.

Infection Treatment

Parvovirus Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Cancer Treatment
February 2011: Mondo was placed under general anesthesia in the field. The tumor was debulked (as much as possible was removed) and cisplatnin beads (small beads impregnated with chemotherapy) were implanted in the surrounding tissue by Dr. Blair, the ophthalmologist. The third eyelid was removed as well as a precaution.

Wound and Fracture Care
Wounds that need immediate attention include excessive bleeding, puncture wounds, deep lacerations, wounds near joints or tendons, foreign bodies, and severely contaminated wounds. It is ideal to suture lacerations within the first 6 hours, so they must be seen as soon as possible. If discovered after 6 hours the wounds are considered contaminated and will need to be treated and started on appropriate antibiotics as soon as possible to minimize secondary complications. *Foreign bodies i.e. Nails in the foot, or impaled objects should be left in place until your veterinarian is notified, removing these could cause further damage or blood loss.

Veterinary Surgery

Laboratory Services
The North Carolina Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory discovered the infection after a routine blood test. The case was confirmed by the United States Department of Agriculture.
X-Ray
Digital radiographs, or x-rays, are state of the art technology that allows us not only to take x-rays on the farm, but to see them and analyze them immediately with no developing needed. This is an integral part of diagnosing and treating lameness, which makes us much more efficient. After all, who doesn't appreciate instant gratification?
Microchipping
Microchips are electronic devices the size of a grain of rice that are easily implanted in the horse's nuchal ligament
