Dr. Lee really enjoyed the opportunity to speak to veterinarians at the Prairie Equine Conference today about decision making in colics and when to refer for further care! Dr. Reynolds and Dr. Runnion and Kyla at Creekside Veterinary Service did an amazing job of organizing this first of its kind conference for rural vets.

Did you know that we can recover and freeze semen from your stallion in the event that you elect to castrate or something catastrophic occurs to them? Using a technique called "Epididymal Flushing" s***m can be collected directly from the removed testicles, which is then frozen right away to use to breed mares in the future!

This handsome Canadian stallion, Ignite (Blain Beaumont Ignite), was castrated last year here at Burwash Equine and we used the above technique to collect his semen and freeze it. This summer we bred two lovely ladies (Cadce Phenom Derby and Blain Revelstoke Freedom) with his semen and they both caught first try! We are so excited to see these cuties next spring when they are born so they can continue the legacy of our beautiful national horse!

* Please note: if you are interested in pursuing this and you own a Quarter Horse stallion, based on current regulations, in order for the offspring to be registered, the frozen semen must be used within 2 years of castration or death

Part of our responsibility as a veterinary team is to stay up to date on the most current research on equine diseases so that we can continue to provide excellent care and help you maintain the best quality of life for your horses.

This week we'd like to focus on Equine Metabolic Syndrome or EMS, which is characterized by high blood insulin (hyperinsulinemia) or insulin dysregulation (abnormal elevation in insulin after a high sugar meal).

Horses and ponies affected often present as “easy keepers”, they are prone to being overweight and having increased fat padding such as a cresty neck or fat deposits on the body (regional adiposity).

If you'd like to learn more, take a look at the new blog post on our website!

We don't need a reason to shout-out our surgical team...
..But if we did, it would be for rocking out back to back laparoscopic, arthroscopic, and castration procedures without breaking a sweat.
