Did you know that many horses in Alberta are deficient in Vitamin E and that this can cause soundness and performance issues?

The Elves decided to play a final game of clinic hide and seek with some of our staff! They attempted to blend in with the lovely poinsettia that Dr. Wayne Burwash got the clinic for Christmas, but Dr. Cotnam didn't have to work too hard to find them right away!

Monday mornings are always a bit hectic so Barley and Brome were up front helping out our receptionist, Sarah, when they could! Barley was a great note taker and Brome greeted each client with a big Christmas smile!

12/22/2024

All of us at Burwash Equine Services wish you a very Merry Christmas! We will be available for emergency services throughout the holiday season, please call 403-242-1913 to be connected with our on-call veterinarian.

The Elves put in the extra hours and helped out our on call veterinarian run some bloodwork on her weekend case! Extra hands make light work!

Barley and Brome had a fun Friday night so they decided to make themselves a strong coffee this morning! For all our in clinic visitors, there is always coffee and tea available in reception to help warm you up!

The Elves had a blast today with Heather exploring all the fun products we carry while they helped her unpack the bi-weekly order! Looks like we are ready for the weekend!

The Elves felt bad about playing pranks during our inventory days so they helped Celine make up some scratches ointment this evening!

It's never too early to start preparing for foaling season! Barley and Brome wanted to learn how to use our foaling chains, unfortunately our repro manager Sherry was the only one they could "rope" into helping them.

If you have a pregnant mare that you would like to foal out at our clinic next spring, give our reception team a call to pre-book her a stall with us as spots fill quickly in the New Year. We have different levels of monitoring to cater to your individual needs.

Happy Worm Wednesday from the Elves! They were very helpful and did some maintenance on our F***l Egg Count machine so that it will be all ready for the spring season. The spring/summer are the times of year when we recommend that you do f***l egg counts on your horses to see if they need to be dewormed more than just once a year in the fall. A spring f***l egg count allows you to classify your horse as a low, medium, or high shedder to help you reduce pasture contamination, as well as to ensure that your that you are using effective dewormers to control your parasite population!

It's perfect snowman building weather! Barley and Brome ventured outside for a bit of winter fun. If you stop by the clinic, you might see their creation!

Barley had a spectacular fall on the ice last week and strained one of the muscles in his back. Good thing Brome was able to use our regenerative laser to help accelerate his healing process and provide some pain relief! For more information on our laser, please check out our blog post at the link below!

The Elves brought some treat presents for their two favourite barn cats, Betty and Veronica, who were very thrilled to accept their gift! Brome held very, very still and actually got Betty to eat out of her hands! Tis the season to cuddle up cozy with your furry companions! Like this post and comment below a photo of your fuzzy friend to be entered to win a dog/cat 4Cyte. This daily oral supplement is great for our arthritic animals to reduce inflammation in the joints and has been shown to actually help with cartilage repair!

Barley and Brome decided to practice their upper airway scopes today so they can be an extra set of hands around the clinic! Did you know that horses can show signs of asthma even in winter? Horses are often stabled during the night and ridden in an enclosed arena in the winter where they can be exposed to higher levels of dust.

The Elves were very sweet today and helped our receptionist, Sarah, with some extra holiday decorating! We think they did a great job on the horseshoe Christmas Tree!
