Equine Medical Manipulation
Tuesdays with TonyThere’s a new doc around my clinic and she’s always going around “adjusting” horses and bending them in weird ways. I was purr-plexed, so I had to do a little research to get to the bottom of what’s going on at my clinic. Turns out they’re treating...
Happy Feet equals Happy Horse
Tuesdays with Tony Horse feet are weird, wonderful things, and it seems without them horses can’t do a thing. My Docs spend an unbelievable amount of time talking feet. You’d think as the thing they walk on, and depend on for life itself, they’d be better designed....
Ticks..the creepy crawling kind.
Tuesdays with Tony I don’t know about you all, but for some reason, the bugs this year are driving me absolutely catty. I’ve talked to you about flies ad nauseam, but today we are going to talk about a different little pest that has been popping up all over and...

Skin Funk
Tuesdays with Tony Skin Funk This week I want to talk to you about something very near to me. Definitely not near and dear to my heart, just something that drives this cat crazy a large portion of the year, and from what I understand, drives my docs and you horse...
Where does arthritis come from?
Tuesdays with Tony I spend a good portion of my days laying around on the front porch. From there, I have an excellent view of a whole lot of lameness exams since most of them happen on the asphalt in front of me. There is often a discussion about injections, and...
The Flies Have it
Tuesdays with Tony The Flies Have It Hope you all are staying healthy out there. It is certainly an odd situation we are all in. It really is starting to become a bit more of the norm around here. We are all split into teams and everyone is adjusting well, as are all...
