Hoof Rehab on the Worst Hang Nail

This horse hit a rock hard enough to crack his quarter. Dr. Allen Landes took off the broken quarter exposing lamina. Then, our team used betadine with sugar on the exposed lamina along with copper sulfate in the grooves of the frog and a lot of casting material to bring them full circle!

Rehab on a Degloved Leg

After making a mess of her leg our team had to also battle frostbite when crystallization happened instantly one extremely cold February day (and I mean -20 degrees F actual temperature cold). After daily wrappings, stall rest, and a lot of brainstorming this horse was left with a minor scar.
