In June of 2008, my quarter horse gelding came down with
Potomac fever. He was extremely sick, and we thought we
would lose him. Dr. Bickel treated him with IV fluids,
and many other medications, that I couldn’t begin to
list. He did come through the fever, but through the
next month he ended up with many complications. Thanks
to the diligent care of Dr. Bickel he survived them all.
However, as a result of the fever, he ended up with
severe laminitis. Unfortunately, he ended up with a high
degree of rotation in both of his coffin bones.
Over the
next several months, Dr. Bickel worked very closely with
me to improve my gelding’s mobility. She took several
sets of x-rays. Using the x-rays and natural hoof
trimming techniques, we were able to get his coffin
bones back to a normal position. He is not yet sound,
but continues to improve. We are keeping our hopes up
for a full recovery. In my opinion, most other vets
would not have given so much of their time and/or
resources. Dr. Bickel has a passion for helping horses,
and it shines through. I can’t thank Dr. Bickel enough
for all of the help she has given to me over the past
several months.

I had an Aussie saddle for sale and these nice ladies
came to my house. I mentioned to her I was in need of a
new Coggins as well as a Health certificate as I am
hauling my horse to Florida. She went right over to my
barn 2 miles down the road. She was so patient with my
moody mare...She had her tongue in her hand as I had
some concerns about whether my horse needed to be
floated or not, My 16hh horse carried on.. the vet and
her assistant didn't even flinch - a real pro!
I was very
impressed and the prices are VERY GOOD. They are very
knowledgeable and have some amazing equipment with them.
If you want a great deal and top notch care for your
horse call these people they are GREAT!

Last
summer our stallion Tardy Wind had a very serious leg
infection and his entire leg was huge and 
swollen, we almost lost him. It was a hard long
struggle, but thanks very much to Dr. Bickel, Tardy
pulled through! Although Tardy does still have
a swollen leg-due to circulatory issues that are
untreatable, but the
infection
is gone and Tardy is back to his old self and doing
great! I want to thank
Dr Bickel for caring so
much about his care and for using all her resources
possible for treatment. He's a
special guy and we would have been devastated to
loose him.
I
also want to mention she treated a mare of mine, Poco,
recently with a leg
wound. Poco was not too happy about her leg being
treated. But Dr Bickel gave us some medicine that made
it very
easy to treat her, in spite of the mare's protests
and her
leg healed up great.
I
want to recommend Dr Bickel to anyone, she truly cares
about animals and will answer any of your questions.

Sara is a 10 year old foundation Percheron mare, and
works as a police horse with the
Jackson County Sheriff's Mounted Patrol, partnered by
her owner, Deputy John Fatchett. Jake is a 5 year old
paint/quarterhorse gelding who is a budding trail horse
with his owner Tonya Fatchett. Sara and Jake have always
experienced outstanding care from Dr. Bickel, and are
happy and healthy as ever due to her quick and
experienced urgent care, compiled with her well-horse
checkups and preventive treatment. Compassion with
technical excellence - we couldn't ask for more!

My lovely TB/Dutch Warmblood mare
gave me a beautiful colt in 2002 who is now a dressage
horse in England. I would dearly love to get a filly
from her to carry on my little breeding program.
However, Pearl has a bad uterine biopsy score which will
make carrying a foal difficult. Dr. Bickel has been
willing to try some "last ditch effort" treatments to
improve Pearl's uterine environment so that she might be
able to carry another foal. Dr.
Bickel made no promises, but I'm very glad to find a
veterinarian who is willing to work with me. Everyone
else advised me to give up on this mare---which I may
have to do; but at least I'll know that everything
possible was tried.
Thank you, Dr. Bickel, for your efforts.
