25.01.2022 ‘Rock’ a 6 year old TB polo horse came in to see us this evening for removal of a stick she had pierced the base of her ear with. Ouch. Stick was removed in one piece. Poor Rock, that would have hurt.

20.01.2022 We are very excited to welcome our new Equine Veterinarian, Dr Suzie O'Grady! Many of you will know Dr Suzie already, as she comes to us with 7 years equine experience from Kilmore Equine Clinic. She has a special interest in equine surgery and dentistry, and already has advanced skills in these fields. In this photo Dr Suzie is with her first pony 'BJ' who is now 30 years old. **WELCOME SUZIE**

18.01.2022 Check this out! Just recently we had a 23 year old mare visit us for a mass on the left side of the throat area which was giving her mum a bit of worry. After a thorough examination, the mass was ultrasounded and biopsied here at the clinic and fortunately was found to be a non-malignant benign tumour. Given the location and its proximity to important underlying structures, it was decided the best course of action was to have the mass removed carefully under general anaesthesia by our friends at Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital. A couple of weeks later and she has had her stitches out and is doing great!

17.01.2022 It’s been a busy weekend of on call, emergencies and our equine friends needing our assistance. Dr Miesja attended a client’s property and welcomed this beauty into the world. Welcome tall paint filly!

12.01.2022 Equine Sarcoids We saw a horse in at the clinic recently for a growth on its flank area that had failed to respond initially to topical chemotherapy treatment. We decided that the horse was a good candidate for surgical removal as this area has plenty of excess skin for surgical closure. Given the high possibility of the mass being a sarcoid, large surgical margins were required to ensure that the tumour didn’t return with a vengeance! The second picture is from the day the... sutures were removed as you can see it has healed up very well, once the hair grows back the scar will barely be noticeable. Sarcoids are one of the most common tumours of the skin seen in horses, they affect horses of all ages and breeds. The appearance of sarcoids can vary from simple nodular swellings under the skin to ulcerated angry looking masses. Every sarcoid is different and therefore treatment for them can vary from complete surgical removal (as in the case above), injection of chemical agents into the lesion to the application of topical chemotherapy creams. Sometimes a combination of surgery, injections and topical creams are required to achieve complete resolution. If you think your horse might have a sarcoid, it is best you have it checked by your veterinarian so it can be decided what treatment is best.

07.01.2022 Covid 19 safety measures at Lancefield Equine Clinic We are open for business with the following conditions to be adhered to for the safety of our staff and our clients. We encourage owners to bring horses to the clinic where possible. We are still visiting farms where this is not possible.... For horses coming to the clinic We ask you to proceed to the car park, unload your horse and put it into a yard. A nurse will come to the yard, take off your horse’s halter and put on one of ours and bring the horse into the clinic. We ask you maintain the social distancing measure of at least 2m. We ask you remain at your car/float/truck while the veterinarian treats your horse. Your horse will be returned back to the yard and the veterinarian will contact you by phone. For farm visits We require that consultations on farm are kept to a minimum of one person, at a social distance of at least 2m. If several horses require treatment, we maintain that only one person deals with the horses. We are able to treat horses without you present, and speak on the phone later. The latter is the safest policy. Visits to the clinic Please call prior to arrange for medications to be picked up and payment over the phone or direct deposit. Visits to the clinic are to be minimised, and hand sanitiser is provided. The measures outlined above are to reduce social interaction and to allow us to continue to provide you with excellent service at this difficult time.

02.01.2022 The boys in blue visited the clinic this morning when our nurse Megan Tindley was pulled over and had to prove she was going to work.. so she took them to visit the equine inpatients that she had just medicated and given their morning feed. The boys liked the horses and we appreciate that they’re doing their jobs, thanks boys! Weird times though, stay safe everyone.
