COVID-19 Update

To all of my clients, due to the recent changes in our society due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Serenity Equine will be offering Telemedicine conferencing.

If you are a client with an established veterinary/client/patient relationship, then we are all set.

What this means is that you can contact us and we can FaceTime or Skype.

If you have:

1. Post-surgical care questions (answering your questions of concern, checking the patient through a guided exam, checking surgical sites, discussing medications or changes in those medications.)
2. Hospice care questions
3. After hours emergency questions (Is it an emergency that needs being seen after hours?)
4. General wellness advice questions

We can view the patient, perform a partial examination and help you make decisions as to whether your horse needs to be seen or if we can manage telemedically. This is very helpful when faced with emergencies.

It also can save you time and money.

There will be a fee for the service, but you will find it within your means at this trying time.

If we do not have a veterinary/client/patient relationship and you are located in our service area. We will need to see your horse. Then you may use this service anytime you wish.

If you live outside our service area and would like to consult with us, let’s get together with your attending veterinarian and discuss how best to go forward.

I hope this lessens you’re fears while providing the comfort that your horses will be taken care of.

My best. Stay safe. We are here for you.

          Equine Podiatry

                   by

     Andrea E. Floyd, D.V.M.

Published by Elsevier Publishing House, this invaluable text reference by Dr. Floyd will help horsemen, farriers and veterinarians alike in understanding hoof issues. 

This comprehensive text not only covers basic principles of horseshoeing, but also focuses on medical and surgical foot care management. Starting with the anatomy and physiology of the equine foot, this one-of-a-kind book then evaluates the foot, its pathological conditions (including structural, developmental, and traumatic conditions in addition to laminitis), balancing and shoeing the healthy and diseased equine hoof, and ends with a chapter on new directions in equine podiatry, written by cutting-edge researchers in the field.

The book is available through Amazon, and a complete table of contents is available at Elsevier Publishing.  

Nobles
Through the mists of our beginnings,
they came to us, though we may never know why.
From the dawn of our history they have been there.
They have died for us on the battlefield, they have carried
our kings to coronation and our Gods to their heavens.
They have been there at our humblest moments
and witnessed our most foul deeds.
We have abused them and adored them.
Now it is time to respect them...
