Dr. Köse, Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Harran University Hospital, Turkey and colleagues presented a retrospective evaluation of 24 patients treated for animal bites (19 horse and five donkey bites) from 2003 to 2009.  The head and neck were the most frequent bite sites (14 cases), followed by the extremities (8 ca...

But their presence always surprises me: this is not the Wild West. This is Ohio. They’re howling down the hill now over unknown things. They love this particular area because one of our neighboring couples has miniature horses and donkeys as domestic pets. They have two miniature horses and one miniature donkey. There is a tiny stable in their back yard, which must be well-secured since the animals haven’t become coyote food yet. What do you do with such pets? Can they really snuggle with you on the couch as you watch television? Will your floors be permanently damaged with years of tiny hoof-marks? How does house-breaking work? The coyotes are fascinated and make forays into our area most nights. It’s the lure of... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4813612 Tue, 10 May 2011 14:23:44 +0100 4813612 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4795024&cid=t_110014_136_f&fid=37852&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdonnatrussell.com%2F2011%2F05%2F06%2Fremember-secretariat%2F About Secretariat, Time magazine wrote: “He has a neck like a buffalo, a back as broad as a sofa.” His Kentucky Derby record of 1:59 2/5 still stands.

So I’m pleased to present you with our new blog on just this topic, Equine Therapy: Straight from the Horse’s Mouth with Claire Dorotik, LMFT. Claire has made a specialization of equine facilitated psychotherapy, developing an equine assisted psychotherapeutic approach that has proved highly effective in restoring emotional and physical balance to those who have battled trauma, abuse, and eating disorders.

He’s trying to eliminate violence towards cattle by instilling low-stress ways of dealing with cows. Pate is sponsored by The Beef Checkoff Program, among other beef industry partners, who are hoping to improve the image of the beef industry after a widely-circulated video of a rancher beating cows and prodding them with pitchforks surfaced on the internet. Pate says that if you think like a cow, the cattle will understand you. And then you won’t need to prod them with pitchforks. Some people would argue that farming cattle in ge...

The modern scientific brain might wonder whether it is some odour chemical released by the fruit of the horse chestnut tree that sends the arachnids scuttling back to whence they came or perhaps the waxy glossiness of the kids favourite autumnal twine-suspended weapon… The truth is far worse and not good news for those with arachnophobia. Apparently, RSC (Royal Society of Chemistry), not to be confused with the far less dramatic RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) ran a schools competition to get to the nub of the mystery – are spiders repelled by conkers or not?

Joe Sestak (D-PA) was offered a job to entice him out of the primary race against incumbent senator Arlen Specter. If true, this apparently is illegal. But does anyone think horse-trading like this does not happen in politics all the time? Perhaps someone was gauche enough to name the price of the horse, and perhaps someone didn’t know enough to keep his mouth shut about it. But it’s pretty much a law of physics that an entrenched group of politicians at a remote level of government is going to divvy up the emoluments the public has ceded to them. A law to the contrary may aspire to some ideal of good government, but its effect is only to hide what is going on. Only if you pret...

On Race Day, Remembering a Filly Named Ruffian. The Preakness Stakes at Pimlico may well be the homely wee sister of the Triple Crown — the Kentucky Derby being steeped in southern tradition and the Belmont Stakes as its the New York counterpart — but any race day is a good day to remember the filly who broke everyone’s heart 35 years ago. In 2007 a TV-movie, “Ruffian,” showed up on ESPN. Before that a book about her, “Burning From the Start,” was published.

The heads of medical devices, pharma, nutritionals and diagnostics will now report directly to Miles White, Abbott’s chairman and ceo. However, the company insists this isn’t a horse race to succeed White, who is only 52 and supposedly finds such moves divisive. As a result, Wall Street is watching carefully to see how each division head performs.

Eclyse (Ek LEE za) is the latest addition to the German safari park, Schloss Holte Stukenbrock. Eclyse is also special as zorses, or zebroids as they are also known, are typically the product of a horse mare that has bred with a zebra stallion. Her mother, on the other hand, was a zebra. Image: Reuters [larger] The creature pictured above is a one-year-old zorse -- a hybrid between a female Chapmann's zebra and a male horse, and what you see in that image are her natural markings. Instead of being striped all over, as most zebra-horse hybrids are, this animal is primarily white with bold striped patches, one on her head and t...

This remarkable young racehorse came in first in the sixth race at Aqueduct Raceway. His owner Suzie O'Cain, will donate ten percent of his earnings to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The horse is named after Dr. Larry Norton, Breast Cancer Research Foundation Scientific Director and Chairman of the Medical Advisory board, in a cute story. Suzie felt obligated not to use Dr. Norton's first name when addressing him. However, he kept urging her to 'Call me Larry'!
