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...

Equine TeleMedicine
Tuesdays with Tony Equine TeleMedicine Whoa! What a strange few weeks it’s been around here. At first I kept hearing everyone talk about Corona this and Corona that, and I thought to myself, that’s odd, my minions aren't big drinkers, some don't even drink at all, so...
Where Science and Money meet
Tuesdays with TonyYou may have noticed (or not, if you’re oblivious to the racehorse world like me) that some major bad players were recently indicted by the FBI. That’s right, the Federales were involved. I am above these things you humans call laws, except when it...
Stallion Breeding 101
Tuesdays with Tony Usually, this time of year I like to talk to you all about mares and foals and breeding your mare. Recently, however, we have had a few stallions come through the clinic and so I figured there is no time better than the present to talk about...
