Outstanding Clinic and Doctors! Last summer, our wonderful Quarterhorse was accidentally injured severely, almost losing his left front hoof. He is an 8 year old accident-prone gelding and seems to have a personal vendetta against fences! The tear went through the left outside portion of his foot, just above the hoof. Artery, tendon, navicular bursa, etc. Dr. Whitaker took immediate action, tied off the artery, cleaned and stitched the wound, then irrigated it daily for what seemed like forever. Infection was thwarted and significant healing is now in progress. Since the injury was so severe, the prospect of him ever being ridden again is slim. Nevertheless, my wife and I did not want to put him down. He is a unique animal to us. Recently, in order to stabilize the foot (no lateral stability due to lack of bone and tendon on one side), Dr. Whitaker decided to start injecting the coffin joint with 200 proof Ethyl Alcohol to promote bone growth and fusion of the coffin joint. Essentially, it kills the cartilage and promotes bone growth. We started this therapy on December 15th, 2010. The second treatment was performed yesterday, January 19th, 2011. X-Rays showed progress even after 30 days. To our amazement, this evening, Traveler is putting full weight on that foot, something he has not done unless sedated since the injury first occurred. Nobody is perfect. No business is perfect either, more especially that of mine. A combination of things leads to any event that happens, good or bad. Personal state of mind effects what a person might think about the care they are receiving at the moment it happens. What I appreciate most about Dr. T's Equine Clinic is that they are human, sincerely love the animals that they care for, and seem to be honorable folks. They have saved my horses life and my horse will have a life worth living. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who cares about their horses.:D Read Less
