(July 31, 2012 Stillwater, OK) – The Oklahoma State University Boren Veterinary Medical Hospital was recently contacted by the Payne County Sheriff’s department to examine a very thin horse which was brought to the attention of the sheriff’s department.
Oklahoma State University veterinarians examined the horse and provided a detailed report to the sheriff recommending a diagnostic, therapeutic and dietary regimen to be followed. The owner and sheriff were present for the exam.
On July 30, 2012, law enforcement removed the horse from the owner’s property. Through collaboration with the sheriff’s department and a local equine rescue organization, the horse is now under veterinary care for further diagnostics and any required treatment at a private facility.
