Always Learning! 📚

👁️ Many of you probably know that Dr. Stephanie has a special interest in eyes! Earlier this year, she attended the International Equine Ophthalmology Consortium Symposium in Nashville for a deep dive into various equine ophthalmology topics. The IEOC is a worldwide organization dedicated to sharing knowledge about equine ophthalmology. She loves learning new ways to help keep your horses’ eyes healthy! 👁️

Keep watch for some beautiful eye photos and some great learning cases with our Friday Eye-day series! 👀

October is RVT appreciation month, and I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge our integral registered veterinary technicians 💚🩵

In our veterinary world, an RVT acts as a radiologist, surgical assistant, phlebotomist, laboratory technician, bandage expert, emotional support person, and the list goes on!

Taylor and Olivia are outstanding team members and a delight to spend each day with. We could not do it without them. Thank you ladies for your unwavering dedication to your patients and your team! You certainly deserve to be celebrated 🎊

Yesterday we said goodbye to a very special member of the Troy Equine family. Ruben has been a part of Dr. Paula’s family for a very long time. Ruben was the first pony of Dr. Paula’s daughter Isabel, who left us too early. He loved Isabel dearly, and most of the time Isabel only. He taught Isabel how to stay on a horse by trying his absolute hardest to get her off. Estimated to be in his 30’s, Ruben lived a wonderful long life with Dr. Paula and her family. All of us at Troy Equine are incredibly grateful to have known him and he will be dearly missed by many. We know Isabel can’t wait to be reunited with her special friend. Enjoy a bug free world with all the grass you can eat Ruben 🤍

We want to send a special shoutout to Barn Angels Composting for the wonderful aftercare service they provided during a difficult time. It is comforting to know that our clients have a compassionate option for aftercare when needed.

We hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving weekend with family and friends! 🧡

👁️ When Kramer needed an emergency enucleation (surgical removal of the eye) his owner had to get creative with his bandage changes with limited pairs of hands to help! She got out her apron and had it fully stocked with all her materials and supplies she would need to change his bandage on her own, we thought this was genius! Safe to say everyone in the clinic wants their own “bandage change apron” now. ❤️‍🩹

We love sharing life hacks that we learn about from our clients to make everyone’s lives a little bit easier!

While spring has come and gone, it is important to remember that summer and fall are prime seasons for mosquito borne viruses! 🦟

The OAHN recently released a statement that there were two confirmed cases of EEE in horses so far this season. EEE is a mosquito borne viral neurological disease that is often fatal, usually within 2-3 days of the onset of clinical signs. The virus is passed via bites from infected mosquitoes. Signs can range from:
- Fever
- Depression/Lethargy
- Weakness
- Ataxia
- Seizures
- Rapid Behaviour Changes
- Blindness, circling, head pressing, tremors
- Coma and Death

➡️ The affected cases reported so far have been in unvaccinated horses!

Good news! If you horse is up to date on their “4way” or “6way” vaccines, they are covered! 🎉

Contact the clinic to ask if your horse is up to date or to book your vaccines today ☎️
