Join us in welcoming Dr. Elpers to the team!

Here is a quick introduction from Dr. Elpers:

I was born and raised in Brazil, where I grew up on a farm surrounded by many different animals. I have always loved horses, and my mare’s name was Princess. I knew from a young age that I wanted to become a veterinarian.

I received my veterinary degree from the University of Alfenas in Brazil and later completed postgraduate residency training in Large Animal Surgery at São Paulo State University.

After moving to the United States, I completed an equine internship in Texas, where Dr. De Cillo was an important mentor in my career. Most recently, I completed a Large Animal Rotating Internship at Colorado State University.

I have broad interests in equine medicine, with a particular interest in surgery and sports medicine. I’m really excited to be part of the WDES team, continue growing in equine sports medicine, and work alongside such an experienced team while contributing to the care of our equine patients.

Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy fishing, paddleboarding, hiking, and spending time outdoors.

Sarcoids are the most common skin tumors in horses and can be quite a challenge to cure. This video # shows surgical removal of the tumor followed by cisplatin electrochemotherapy.

Partial tail amputation for elimination of a necrotic tumor.  WHATS YOUR DIAGNOSIS?  
This horse developed a large necrotic mass at the midbody of the tail.  Due to the aggressive appearance, It was decided that the best treatment option was complete excision and biopsy via amputation above the level of the mass.  

Pre-surgical preparation: Pre-operative antibiotics and anti-inflammatories were administered. The patient was sedated in standing stocks. The tail was clipped and scrubbed. A tourniquet was applied to help control bleeding. 

Local anesthesia: A sacrococcygeal epidural was performed.  Local anesthesia was administered to the nerves at the tail base to minimize pain.

Surgical removal: The desired level of amputation is identified.  A V-shaped incision is made top and bottom. The incision is carried through the intervertebral joint space deep to the skin edges.  This allows for simple closure of the skin and SQ tissues over the vertebral end.  

Hemostasis: blood vessels are ligated and cauterized to prevent excessive bleeding.

Wound closure: the skin and soft tissue are sutured appropriately.  A stockinette style bandage is applied over the stump.  

Aftercare: The skin sutures are removed at 2 weeks.  When the tail hair regrows, this patient will have full function of his ‘fly swatter’!

Today we performed a venogram to assess the blood flow within the hoof capsule. By injecting a contrast dye into the digital vessels and taking immediate X-rays, we can map out the vascular health of the foot. This is a game-changer for managing complex laminitis cases or deep hoof injuries!
