RenoVō™ CASE #1: SNAKE BITE WOUND
patient: High on koak, barrel racing horse
Barrel horse racing can be a dangerous sport, but nothing quite as dangerous as a snake bite wound.
High on Koak, a 13 year-old barrel racing horse, was scheduled to run in the World Barrel Racing League youth finals on the weekend of July 5th, 2018. She came in from the pasture on May 25th, 2018 with a fresh snake bite wound to the leg. What the barrel racing horse made up for in mass, the snake’s bite wound proved to be mightier. As a result, it quickly became obvious that High on Koak was in distress and limping. Upon further examination and diagnosis of a snake bite wound, an anti-inflammatory medication was administered. Now all they could do was watch and wait.
By June 6th, 2018, High on Koak wasn’t healing as quickly as needed and a veterinarian examined her and decided to add an antibiotic to the treatment plan. Nearly another week had passed and her lack of progress was troubling to her owner, so the veterinarian was called back out for a third examination. On June 12th, 2018, due to lack of progress, the veterinarian decided to implant 3.0 cc of RenoVō™ allograft around the wound. The next 24-hours revealed a marked improvement in her condition and kicked off an expedited healing process.
Over the next two weeks, High on Koak was able to resume her daily routine showing little to no signs of her injury. She went on to compete at the Youth Finals in Memphis, TN the weekend of July 5th, 2018. She finished 9th out of 370 riders on the first day and 8th on the second day.
