Lucky ......................

Lucy is a 8 year old  Quarter Horse performance mare. On Feb. 25, 2005 her owner Tammi was loading
her in the trailer and as Lucy stepped in, the partition began to close on her. Lucy tried to jump away
from it, but the latch caught her flank and made an 18 inch laceration. Tammi knew that Lucy needed
immediate treatment, but did not know the severity of it. Once Lucy arrived at BEH the doctors
assessed her and concluded that the laceration would not be able to be sutured and would have to
remain open to heal. Lucy needed daily treatment including hydro-therapy and topical medications.
Lucy was hospitilized at our clinic for over 3 months.  After a long recovery process Lucy was
discharged from BEH on June 6, 2005.
Her owner is now riding her again and Lucy is doing great.

Dancer is a 7 month old colt who has already been through a lot at his young
age.  He was turned out with his mother to graze and at some point during that
day he lacerated his leg on an unknown object.  He was brought to BEH for
immediate treatment.  His laceration was from the hock to the fetlock and all the
way down to the bone.  With hopes of saving this little guys life our doctors
acted quickly and began aggressive treatment.  He was at our hospital for over
three months receiving medication, daily hydro therapy, and bandage changes
using Silverlon.   With all the efforts of the staff at BEH, we are proud to say
that Dancer is now at home and doing well.
