We are first time horse owners so this experience was crucial. During night checks we realized that one of our horses had somehow(still a mystery) sliced all along the back of his sheath open. We called around 9pm and got ahold of someone immediately, they said the on-call vet would call us back shortly and she did!
I was able to text her pictures and she determined that since it didn't look to need emergent response someone would be out the very next day to check him out.
Thank you Dr. Ellie and team for making my first emergency/NON emergency a calm experience.

Sadly not had to lay my mare to rest yesterday. Tina and my other horses, have been under the care of Dr. Paul Duff for over 5 years. Columbia Equine Vets have cared for our horses for over 25 years. Every vet from Columbia has been excellent.
However, Dr Duff has been extraordinary.
He is knowledgeable, communicative, gentle, compassionate, talented and has such a rapport with horses. He made my worse day better by reassuring me that we were doing the right thing at the right time. As my mare dropped down, her head was in Paul’s lap. He stroked her and talked calmly to her until her last breath. I love that man!
Thank you Dr. Paul
I think highly of Columbia and its Vets and staff. They gelded my horse and took excellent care of him he’s fine he’s eating drinking and looking normal on stall rest I just got him back an hour ago. He looks like he just got back from Disneyland, but was happy to be home.??????????
