Horsin' Around with Dr. Harrison

This customer highlight we would like to highlight a mobile rural mixed animal practitioner. Dr. Leslie Harrison. She drives ¾ ton Chevy all over the mountain passes in central Colorado. If only vet trucks could talk!

Considerations: There are many ways to diagnose pregnancy in a mare, however ultrasound stands out as the most useful and versatile. While manual palpation can diagnose pregnancy and potentially twins, it can’t show a fetal heartrate or consistently diagnose placentitis. Only ultrasound can show fetal health, birth defects, placentitis, and allow for accurate fetal aging. It also allows for the monitoring of cervical tone, uterine edema, and follicular development while preparing to breed a mare.
