Interesting case 🧐

This lovely pet Goldfish 🐠 presented to the clinic for a health assessment which required radiographs 🩻

X-rays are a great diagnostic tool to look at the spines and swim bladder which can contribute to buoyancy issues 🌊 🐟🪸

Processionary Caterpillars and Equine Abortions

🐛 Ingestion of processionary caterpillars is an ongoing problem in horses and is associated with equine amnionitis and fetal loss (EAFL) in pregnant mares.

🗓️ Mares are most likely to be at risk of exposure from about March to June, and beyond that due to exposure to old nest material.

🐛 Exposure to the caterpillars results in damage to the tissues of the amnion and umbilical cord of the developing foetus. This tissue damage results in poor development of the foetus and can lead to abortion from mid to late-term pregnancy or the birth of premature and weak, underdeveloped foals.

Did you know we have a PulseVet Shock Wave machine available at Sundance Vets ⁉️

We’ll share a series of posts highlighting this treatment modality and the benefits it can add to the treatment and management of a large range of conditions for both HORSES and DOGS 🤯

What Is PulseVet® Shock Wave Therapy and How Does It Work?

✔️ PulseVet shock wave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing at the cellular level.

✔️ The treatment, called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), delivers focused acoustic pulses that reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote tissue repair.

✔️Unlike surgery or long-term medications, it’s non-invasive with no incisions, no infection risk, and minimal recovery time.

✔️ Most treatments take just minutes.

✔️ Only the electrohydraulic technology used in the PulseVet System creates a true shock wave at all energy settings – a key differentiator in ensuring efficacy. This allows the therapy to reach deeper, targeting areas that other modalities cannot.
