Hydration Hacks for Warmer Weather 💦

As temperatures rise as we get into summer, keeping your horse hydrated is crucial for their health and performance. Here are some hydration tips for spring:

〰️Fresh Water: Ensure your horse has constant access to clean, fresh water.
〰️Electrolytes: Add electrolytes to your horse’s water or feed to replace salts lost through sweat.
〰️Soaked Hay: Offer soaked hay to increase water intake, especially for horses that don’t drink enough.
〰️Monitor Water Intake: Keep an eye on how much your horse is drinking, and encourage them to drink by offering flavoured water if needed.

Staying hydrated is key to a healthy and happy horse!

Understanding Laminitis

Spring is a peak time for laminitis, a painful condition affecting horses' hooves, often triggered by rich spring grass.

Here’s what you need to know:
🌿Causes: Sudden access to lush pasture can lead to laminitis, especially in horses prone to obesity or insulin resistance.
🔥Symptoms: Look for signs like reluctance to move, a 'rocked-back' stance, or heat in the hooves.
🙊Prevention: Gradually introduce grazing, use a grazing muzzle, or limit pasture time.

If you suspect laminitis, contact your vet immediately. Early intervention can prevent long-term damage.

❗️ Spotting Early Signs of Colic ❗️

Colic is a common but serious condition in horses that can happen at any time, but spring brings unique challenges as diet and routines change.

Here are some early signs of colic to watch out for:

🚫Restlessness: Pawing at the ground or frequently lying down and getting up.
🚫Lack of Appetite: Refusing food or water can be a red flag.
🚫Sweating: Excessive sweating, especially in cool weather, may indicate pain.
🚫Abnormal Posture: Stretching out as if to urinate or looking at their sides.

If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your vet immediately. Early intervention can make all the difference.

Fly Control Strategies 🪰

As the temperature rises, flies can become a real nuisance for your horse. Not only are they annoying, but they can also spread diseases.

Here are some effective fly control strategies for the spring:

🚫 Fly Masks and Sheets: Provide physical barriers to keep flies away from your horse’s eyes and body.
🚫 Fly Traps and Bait: Set up traps around the stable to reduce fly populations.
🚫 Natural Repellents: Use citronella-based sprays or essential oils to repel flies naturally.
🚫 Manure Management: Keep stables clean and remove manure regularly to reduce fly breeding grounds.

These tips will help keep your horse comfortable and fly-free this season!

Its that time of year again and Unfortunately living in WA we have snakes! 🐍

Horses being flight animals recognise that snakes are not good, and snakes know horses are not good food so avoid where possible. But sometimes they do meet and not always with the best outcome.

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗲?

🐍Check all over your horses body for any puncture marks, scratches or swelling.

🐍Your horse may show one, or multiple of these symptoms: difficulty breathing, sweating, bleeding from their nostrils, muscle twitching, 'wonky' walking, head shaking, irritability, blood in their urine and colic like symptoms.

If you have any suspicion that your horse has been biten by a snake the first thing you should do is call your vet! Keep your horse calm and still while you wait for the vet to arrive.

Did you know that after a mare gives birth, the placenta is usually expelled within 3-6 hours? Sometimes, though, it doesn’t come out, and this is called retained placenta. Here’s what you need to know: What to Do ✅ ▪️Call your vet if the placenta is not passed within 6 hours or if you are concerned that the placenta that has passed is not entire. ▪️Monitor her temperature, appetite, and behavior for any changes. What NOT to Do 🚫 ▪️Don’t try to pull the placenta yourself. This can cause serious damage. ▪️Don’t wait too long to take action – timely intervention is key. ▪️Avoid giving any medications without vet approval. Why It’s Important ❗ ▪️If left untreated, a retained placenta can lead to serious complications like infections, toxic laminitis and long term infertility. Acting fast and getting veterinary help is the safest way to ensure your mare stays healthy and happy! Real-Life Example 🎥 In the attached video, you’ll see a case where a mare foaled at an experienced stud. Despite veterinary advice management, the mare still had a severe retained placenta 24 hours post-foaling, the placenta was retained in both uterine horns. Dr Bec successfully removed it at the clinic and performed a uterine lavage to remove any small pieces of retained membranes, blood and cellular debris. The owner will continue anti-inflammatory management at home and a repeat lavage will be done on the farm during the vet’s next visit. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about foaling! #perthequinehospital #equinehospital #horsehealth #perthvet #equinevet #mareandfoal #horse

Keep your horse happy and healthy! Remember to clean those all important bits! What is a bean? A ‘bean’ is a common name for a collection of smegma in the tip of the horses pen*s. When the bean gets too big it will interfere with the horses ability to pass urine which can lead to all sorts infections of kidney problems. Plus your horse can be in serious pain with this. Most horses should have a thorough clean every 6-12 months which will also allow you to exam the sheath and pen*s for any signs of melanomas and squamous cell carcinoma or infections. If you are unsure how to clean your horses pen*s please contact your veterinarian who will show you how to do this 🐴 #perthequinehospital #perthvetemergency #perthvets #perth #vets #equinevets #equine #pony #happyhorse #healthyhorse #horsevet #equinecare #horsehealth #perthequinevet
