Actually, the folks ultrasounding at New Bolton are all veterinarians...and they do all ultrasound, all the time -- but work closely with the surgeons and sports medicine vets as well. Dr. Virginia...

Can you ice the RH foot? Check with your vet first, but I've seen that done commonly in early laminitis/prone to laminitis cases.

There is another thread about this in the "Horse Care" forum if folks are interested...

Every friend I had who worked for Banfield this summer in their student program saw equine-focused grads who were working for Banfield because they couldn't find a job in an equine practice.
...

They were known for having picky/weird questions in the past... For example, they asked a friend, "What is the perfect size for a horse?" :confused::confused: I guess they just wanted to hear your...

This as well! It really helped me to have the questions written down -- even though I couldn't pull them out, it helped me remember since I could visualize the questions!

Check out the Student Doctor Network -- forums.studentdoctor.net

There is interview feedback posted for the various schools, as well as existing threads on attire, protocol, etc.

Where are...

...or Figure Eight, as you literally have to have a pass to get onto the island. It's much, much closer than topsail or bald head . Not sure you'll be able to find anything in the $1500/week range...

Why do you want to avoid Wrightsville, if you don't mind my asking? I have spent almost every weekend of every summer down there and absolutely love it. Carolina Beach and Wrightsville have very,...

There are more and more "Enrichment" toys available.

I like to fill a Kong with kibble and then add a teaspoon of pumpkin and freeze that. Since I have a prone-to-getting fat lab, I will put...

Hey!

It's all posted on ThinLine's blog, but basically ThinLine (which is located in Durham, NC) is collecting the books and then taking responsibility for transporting them out to South Dakota....

Yes! Especially children's horse books, but any books are ok!

Hi everyone,

ThinLine is still collecting books (and used computers) for the book drive. They've updated their blog with some more info about why they're sponsoring the drive and who it's...

FYI, Innova was recently purchased by Proctor and Gamble, so if one of your priorities is feeding a food from a small company, you may need to look around.

I switched my dog to Innova from...

If you are really concerned, there is a product called Forbid that you can feed to the horses which will make their poop taste icky. Maybe a bite or two one time would be enough to deter your pup,...

Southern Pines Equine does lots of PPEs. I really like both Dr. Daniels and Dr. Hamilton. I've also heard great things about Dr. Vivrette though and have been meaning to get in touch with her. Good...

If you think dogs are weird, you should check out cats! :winkgrin:

Merry Christmas!

Here is what the in-house IDEXX machine NSAID panel checks for:

The NSAID Monitoring Panel is a single package that includes five tests (12 panels) recommended to evaluate potential insult to the...

Trust me, I am well aware. My father is a physician. :winkgrin: But, the same can be said for vets -- of that $350 blood panel, I'd guess that a large percentage of it is going to the lab, and...

Unfortunately, they don't teach you common horseman's terms in vet school. At least the kid was out there trying to get experience in the horse field before going into practice. Not everyone was...

The winner of the NCHJA adult medal several years ago was on a pony...stallion no less! You can see pictures of Lauren on him on their website. :)

And when money gets tight, they don't pay for all the diagnostics -- they just turn the horse out in the field for a year. Unfortunately, most of those diagnostics cost the clinic 5-6 figures,...

Eh, not necessarily. I'd say that equine vets are one of the hardest hit areas of veterinary medicine w/ the recent economic downturn.

Liscar, I'm so sorry. Would having a necropsy done after the fact be too painful or do you think it would bring you some closure? Just wanted to mention it since I think sometimes it is overlooked....

Both can probably write off gas as a business expense, right?

Not entirely sure how all the tax stuff works, but I would personally rather have a gift card to somewhere like Starbucks or a local...
