Veterinary Technology: 21st Century Health
Today’s veterinary tech equipment allows rapid responses for improved horse care
by Ron Colton, DVM, Evergreen Equine Veterinary Practice, www.evergreenequinevet.com
Imagine you find your horse with a nail in his foot. You call your veterinarian. She is on the way and has told you to leave the nail in place. She wants to take an x-ray to determine the exact location of the nail and whether it has damaged any vital structures. Only then will she remove the nail and begin therapy. It’s 1999, so she will have to drive back to the clinic to develop and review the films, which hopefully are of good quality, and then drive back to your farm to provide care. Cross your fingers traffic isn’t bad.
