Educational tips for pet lovers

The horse paws his front toes continuously

Singapore Thoroughbred Right Fore traumatic injuries"Doc, I have a problem," the stable manager said gravely and slowly over the mobile phone.  "A horse fell and is in great pain. Please come now."

Horses and riders do fall. I did not think it was an emergency as to leave my surgery and to drive through the traffic jams to the riding club to treat this horse.  

"How do you know that the horse is in great pain?" I asked, reluctant to leave my dog and cat patients in the waiting room. Dog and cat clients do not like to wait long for their turn and once I go out to the riding club, there would be at least one hour's wait for all of them.  And they had prior appointments.  Therefore, should I respect the importance of the clients' time and not treat this one horse as an emergency?  

Singapore thoroughbred, traumatic injuries are emergenciesThe stable manager said, "The horse kept pointing its front leg at the ground and scraped backwards non-stop, alternating one front leg with another."

A normal horse would not do that. Thoroughbreds are sensitive animals and if I don't relieve their intense pain, they sometimes collapse and die.  Dogs can tolerate pain much better. I explained to the clients about this emergency and rushed to the riding club.

The horse looked distressed as it tip-toed on its left fore leg and pawed the road surface.  It had bolted from the paddock situated on a small hill, fell down a 45 degree slope and hit the hard tarred road on its right side. All 500 kg of its weight. The pain was tremendous.

I arrived within 15 minutes of the accident as there was no traffic jam.

It would aggravate its injury if the pain killer had not been given within 15 minutes. It would have developed an elephant leg if
Singapore thoroughbred, traumatic injuries are emergenciesleft alone for the next 24 hours. By that time, no drug would help and the horse would be as stiff as a 3-legged horse would be.

Immediately after the injections, it felt good and commenced eating. The busy stable manager was relieved and went back to his heavy load of administrative work.  

"This horse slipped under the starting gate and nearly killed a jockey," the manager told me. 

"Why was it not euthanased?" I asked. I had the impression that this was a fractious and fiercely independent wild horse who dislodge riders.  "It is an excellent horse for riding," the manager explained.  

"He fell once sometime ago," the manager said. "On the same side, I believe."

Still, there was the internal bleeding and swelling to consider in the treatment of this horse. It looked fine now but there would be small bleeding. I was worried about the 'elephant leg' being developed in the next 2 days. 

Horse vets are labelled 'incompetent' by the horse people whenever the horse had not responded to treatment. Sometimes there was a considerable delay of over 48 hours before veterinary advices were sought as the owner wanted to save money.  

Horse traumatic injuries on limb and hip - slight swelling of knee areaIn this traumatic situation, I gave it an anti-inflammatory injection to bring down much of the inflammation. Did it work?
   
Yes. The drug helped considerably to prevent 
the 'elephant leg' syndrome. There was a slight swelling on the right knee on the 3rd day and the horse was eating well. Of course, it had 3 days of antibiotic cover and the stable 
hand or syce was conscientiously spraying a bluish medicine, 'good for wound healing', the manager said. No flies dared to land on the wounds. This was a gentle horse. 

As to its propensity to stumble, I believed it was due to it 
being unable to balance itself on gradients.  Its 
left foot was a club foot which means that the width of the foot was narrower than normal. It would not be balanced on a slope.
