Johne’s disease has been a lingering threat to the beef industry for decades. Measuring increases in cases is often difficult because infected herds can go unnoticed due to long dormant infection periods and non-specific symptoms.

However, missing Johne’s cases can have significant long-term implications. This includes increased replacement costs, decreased weaning weights, loss of important genetics and impacts on seed stock herds’ reputations.

🛑 Stop Johne's disease in its tracks.

*Warning - graphic images!*

Dr. Ross and Haley, RVT were called out to examine a horse that was found to have impaled itself on a stick. This mare was sedated to facilitate easy removal of the stick which was wedged in approximately 10 inches! Once the stick was removed, the wound was checked for any wood fragments and flushed copiously. The mare has been prescribed antibiotics, pain killer, and along with some rest and wound care, she should make a full recovery!

Thanks to the folks at Boehringer Ingelheim, we are able to offer a limited number of FREE equine Cushings tests from now until the end of October!

Cushings (PPID) is most often found in horses over the age of 10 with an estimated 15% of aged horses being affected.

Clinical signs of Cushings include:
- increased coat length and failure to shed during summer
- weight loss, muscle wasting
- increased appetite and thirst
- lethargy
- increased sweating
- laminitis

Diagnosis is based on history, clinical signs, and hormone (ATCH) testing.

Cushings can be managed medically to reduce clinical signs and improve quality of life. However, this disease is not curable.

If one of your horse’s is experiencing symptoms suggestive of Cushings, call the office at 204-727-7807 to book an appointment to have it tested! Please note that mileage fees still apply.
