My Mare of about the age of 25-30... Had a wad of hay lodged in her esophagus, my regular vet would not come out on a Saturday evening Dr Matz came after a long line of farm calls... it was dark and cold, she strapped her lights on and got busy... She tried hard, couldn't get it, it was lodged too tight...helped me unload horse trailer, I took Mama into the hospital, Dr Matz and Dr Metcalf... worked for hours, Dr Metcalf used a tool he thought about that was working... strand by stand it was coming out, stopped about midnight. Dr Matz, and Dr Metcalf Started the next day (Sunday).... (Worst choking case they had seen). Worked for, I think, about 3 hours... Got It Out!!! Yaaaay! I was so relieved! They went above and beyond! Did what I wanted because I was so determined to give her every chance to survive that was possible. The whole staff cared for her like she was theirs... I'm sad to say she didn't make it. They even cut mane and tail off for me, when I went in to say by. I could not be more pleased with the whole staff... they were knowable, professional, personable, passionate And went above and beyond. God Bless all of them, they work tirelessly... Will use them in the future...as long as I have horses... I have three more... Blessings to all! Ardell GreenwoodRead Less
