Clinic features large animal surgery facility
whichis standing on its side and a
motor turns the table to a flat
position for administering of
anesthetic and the following
surgery,
Dr. Balsdon explains, "It is
stration for the T-A Monday
morning,
After partial recovery the
horse is left standing in the chute
for up to an hour before it is
released.
A very modern x-ray machine
is also part of the equipment at
the Exeter Animal Clinic for use
on horsesand small animals. Dr.
Balsdon said he would be con-
fining his practice to horses and
small animals.
Dr. Balsdon operated his own
practice in the Welland area for
two years before coming to the
Veterinary College at Centralia
seven years ago.
By DR. GARY BALSDON
Often people ask why it costs so
much to look after their pet,
There are two reasons for the
costs and both are interrelated.
Veterinarians today are
providing a quality service to
their patients that can be com-
pared to anything found in human

Ten years ago no one would have
thought that a horse's throat
could be examined with a
fiberoptics scope.
These things are being done
regularly in today's veterinary
practice. •

provements our patients still
can't talk to us.

Dr. Balsdon and a new veterinary surgery table for horses
One of the features of the newly
opened Exeter Animal Clinic at
the south end of Exeter is an
operating table to accommodate
horses and other large animals.
Owner Dr. Gary Balsdon said
the restraining chute and
veterinary surgery table is the
only one of its kind in the im-
mediate area. He said there are
three others throughout Ontario.
The operating table will be
available for use by area
veterinarians and is aimed at
treating race horses.
The chute and table was
originally designed for use in
Montana for trimming feet of
mules used on the mule trains.
It was revised to meet current
needs by Howard Fly of Ovando,
Montana who supervised in-
stallation of the facility at the
Exeter clinic.
Horses are walked into the
chute at one end and after
recovery from anesthetic are
able to walk out the opposite end.
The animal after walking into the
chute is strapped to the table
very safe for both the animals
having surgery and the persons
working with them. The horses
don't make very much fuss."
Dr. Balsdon used his five year-
old mare Dolly for a demon-
medicine. All facets of practice
are being affected this way.
Surgery cases are anesthetized
with the same products as human
medical anesthetists use. Aseptic
surgical procedures are followed
strictly, therefore a typical
veterinary hospital operating
room might contain a gas
anesthetic machine, heart
monitor and fluids running in-
travenously along with a table
and light. All instruments are
autoclaved before they are used.
The same procedures are now
being employed for equine and
bovine surgery.
Many clinics now have well
equipped X-ray facilities.
Laboratory aids such as total
blood counts and urinalysis and
blood chemistry are being used
more than ever before. All of
these help the clinician to make a
more accurate diagnosis early in
the course of the disease.
Many practices in the province
are trying more herd health
programs rather than an in-
dividual patient medicine. This
requires a total management
approach rather than the fire
engine approach to veterinary
medicine.
The drug industry today is a
very rapidly changing part of
practice. The new, more effective
drugs being produced today
make treatment much more
effective. Some of our drugs are
those used in human medicine,
but many are designed for
specific problems in our animal
population. We have advanced a
long way from sulphur drugs,
carbon disulphide and ether.,
Twenty years ago no-one would
have thought that the dog's leg
would be repaired with a bone
Board ignores
PA system
Members of the Huron County
Board of Education were offered
an opportunity to try out a public
address system at their
December meeting Monday.
The system featured a cordless
microphone, similar to the one
now in use by Huron County
Council, but was portable and
capable of operating from AC or
DC current sources.
On the whole Board members
seemed to ignore the unit, finding
it cumbersome to pass the
microphone around the U-shaped
meeting table each time someone
wanted to speak.
After about 30 minutes the PA
was totally abandoned when it
began broadcasting taxi calls in
place of debate on educational
issues.
