LSU Equine Clinic Dedicates the “Lexi Suite”

In honor of the extraordinary efforts of globe-trotting surgeons, LSU veterinarians and technicians, a determined team of horse owners, and a remarkable 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare, the LSU SVM dedicated “The Lexi Suite” in the Equine Intensive Care Unit at the LSU Large Animal Hospital on May 17. The suite is named in honor of Lexius (Lexi), owned by Ms. Julie Calzone & Mr. Robert Gardes. Lexi is the mare who presented LSU with the opportunity to cure uveitis in North America through a procedure known as a vitrectomy. The surgery is rarely performed and was unprecedented at LSU.
