A safe and Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all.
This is Dr. Corey's horse, Trooper. He's a 25 year old Kiger Mustang, and he takes his current job of eating grass and being the Gateway mascot very seriously.

We are pleased to announce that Gateway Equine is adding another veterinarian to the team! Dr. Ari Merari will be starting at the beginning of the new year as a field service veterinarian. We are excited to expand our capacity to say "yes" when you call needing help. She is looking forward to joining the Gateway team and committed to providing the excellence in local care that you would expect from this practice. Read her Bio in the comments and leave a note welcoming her!

Dr. Harms will continue to be seeing appointments in-house, along with some field calls.

Dr. Harms and some of the Gateway team are finishing up attending the annual AAEP conference in Denver. It's always a whirlwind of educational lectures, learning cutting edge research and techniques, and evaluating new technologies! The goal of all of it is to be better able to help you with your horses.

Our tech Erin had quite the eager helper today! One of the unique things about Gateway is having multiple skilled technicians assisting at any given time, which provides increased safety and efficiency, and the ability to perform more complex procedures routinely.

Tools Fair at school! Dr. Harms and technicians Erin and Hannah showing the school kids various tools we use in Equine Medicine to diagnose and treat horses, including how we pass our 10 foot long endoscope into the stomach or airways to evaluate for problems. Previously we had to refer horses for this, but as of earlier this year we have this capability which allows for more rapid diagnosis and treatment.

Techs Erin and Hannah drawing blood for Platelet-Rich Plasma processing to help treat this great gelding with a proximal suspensory injury. The syringe on the table has the concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors that gets injected into the site of injury.

This gelding had an episode of drooling and not eating, then seemed to be returning to normal. However, he had some inflammation on his blood work that was not going away that told us there was still a problem. He started developing some swelling under his jaw so we looked with ultrasound and X-ray and found this foreign object deep in the tissues under his tongue. Can you tell what it is?

This video shows a needle going into the navicular bursa using ultrasound guidance, and synovial fluid dripping out. This technique has several advantages including that we can avoid poking through the Deep Digital Flexor Tendon in the process. We can then medicate the bursa to help with healing or pain relief in horses with navicular syndrome or deep tendon tears.

See the video in the comments for more of the ultrasound guiding part.
