"My pet is acting a little off, but I can't put my finger on what's wrong."

That sentence is worth paying attention to.

You know your pet's normal better than anyone. Changes in appetite, drinking, energy level, breathing, bathroom habits, mobility, or behavior can be useful clues that something has changed.

The important question isn't always, "Is this abnormal for every dog or cat?" Sometimes the better question is, "Is this abnormal for MY pet?"

A small change does not automatically mean there is an emergency. But if a change persists, gets worse, or is accompanied by other concerning signs, give us a call. We can help determine whether your pet needs to be seen and how quickly.

Knowing your pet's normal gives you something to compare against when things change.

"Why is my horse's eye watering?"

A watering eye may look minor, but eye problems in horses deserve prompt attention.

Horses have large, prominent eyes, which makes them more prone to injury. Watering can be associated with several problems, including a corneal ulcer or uveitis. Eyelid injuries and tumors can also affect the eye and surrounding tissues.

Why does an exam matter? Because different eye problems can require very different treatment. A corneal ulcer can become infected, and steroids should not be used in an eye with a corneal ulcer. Uveitis, on the other hand, is commonly treated with corticosteroids and other anti-inflammatory medications. That is why getting the diagnosis right matters.

At Brock Veterinary Clinic, we consider any eye problem in a horse an emergency and recommend an exam as soon as possible.

If your horse develops a watering eye or another eye problem, give us a call rather than waiting to see if it clears up.

"My horse is limping. Is this an emergency?"

Sometimes yes, and sometimes it can be scheduled for a lameness exam. One of the first things we look at is how lame the horse is and whether the lameness is noticeable at a walk or only at a trot.

A mild lameness may only show up when the horse trots or runs. Early arthritis or soreness from use can fall into this category. These cases are generally not emergencies, but they are worth scheduling for a lameness exam.

Moderate lameness can also be more obvious during exercise and may be caused by tendon injuries, injuries that occurred while running, or more advanced arthritis. These should be evaluated sooner rather than later.

A horse that is severely lame at the walk, or cannot bear weight on a leg, needs more urgent attention. Causes can include a foot abscess, fracture, tendon laceration, cellulitis, or infection involving a joint or other synovial structure.

A lameness exam may include a hands-on musculoskeletal exam, watching the horse walk and trot, hoof testers, nerve blocks, radiographs, ultrasound, CT, MRI, or other diagnostics. The goal is to figure out where the pain is coming from so we can determine the right treatment.

If your horse is limping, give us a call. If the horse is severely lame or unable to bear weight, don't wait to have it evaluated.

🎉 Please join us in welcoming our newest associate veterinarian, Dr. Blankenship (“Dr. B”), to the Brock Veterinary Clinic team! 🎉

Dr. B is originally from the Houston area, where she grew up competing on the local hunter/jumper circuit. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from West Texas A&M University before receiving her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

After veterinary school, Dr. B completed an intensive equine internship at 113 Equine in Millsap, Texas, located in the heart of cutting horse country. Her professional interests include equine lameness, internal medicine, and emergency medicine.

Dr. B is excited to call West Texas home and looks forward to serving the Lamesa community and building lasting relationships with you and your animals.

If you see her around the clinic, be sure to give her a warm Brock Veterinary Clinic welcome! We’re excited to have her as part of the BVC family! 💙🐴🐶🐱
