FEI vaccination update!

The FEI have introduced a new requirement for the recording of Influenza (flu) vaccinations.

After 3rd February 2025 (!!!) ALL FEI registered horses need to have their vaccinations recorded on the FEI Horseapp AT THE TIME OF VACCINATION by your vet.

Please can all owners of FEI registered horses (or if you have an intention to compete at FEI events this year):

🐴 Make reception aware that your horse is FEI registered at the time of booking your Flu vaccination!!!!

🐴 If you are the athlete, groom, owner or trainer, please enter the previous vaccinations onto the HorseApp ahead of your vaccination appointment (ideally even straight after reading this).
You will be able to upload historical vaccinations but not vaccinations after 3/2/2025 - those must be entered on the day of vaccination by your vet!

Here is the link for how to enter 'historical' vaccinations: https://howto.fei.org/content/5/311/en/how-to-add-a-new-vaccination-and-use-the-fei-horseapp-during-the-vaccination-process.html

🐴 Ensure that the passport is present at the time of vaccination!

🐴 Please remove or be able to remove any rugs prior to the vaccination as we may need to upload photographs of your horse on the app for identification purposes.

🐴 Make plenty of time available for your vaccination appointment - offer your vet a cup of tea/coffee whilst doing the vaccination registrations as the whole process will take some time!

🐴 Let’s get ready for the competition season!

Storm warning!‼️ ‼️ ‼️
Due to the red alert warning for tomorrow, we have cancelled all scheduled appointments and visits.
Please do not travel, especially with horse boxes and lorries!
Should you need advice regarding an emergency, please ring 02840624566 or the on call number 07540764189.

Advice for keeping your horses safe:

🐴 Bring horses in, providing you have sturdy stables that are not under trees.
🐴 Close all top doors to try and keep the wind out.
🐴 If your horses are out, please ensure there are no loose materials in the field that can be blown into them (e.g. buckets/round planks/corrugated sheets…).
🐴 A big field is safer than an enclosure surrounded by trees or other things that can blow over (loose roofing/flowerpots etc).
🐴 Provide plenty of feed and water, so you don’t have to go out to feed at the height of the storm (7am- 2pm tomorrow)
🐴 Check on your horses once the storm has subsided.
🐴 Think safety first!

Cold weather colic awareness

With the sudden cold snap, we are seeing a rise in patients presenting with impaction colic.
Horses prefer to drink warm water, and where drinkers are frozen or water is cold, decreased fluid intake can lead to impaction colic. Additionally, reduced exercise associated with cold weather slows down the digestive system, increasing the risk of a blockage.

Signs of impaction colic include:
Decreased droppings
Pawing the ground
Flank watching
Restlessness
Sweating
Rolling repeatedly

Avoiding dehydration during the cold period is essential. To encourage water intake and decrease your horse’s colic risk, you may:
- Ensure your horses have access to a bucket or tub of water- horses are more likely to drink from a bucket than an automatic trough.
- Add a kettle of hot water to your horse’s water bucket- horses are more likely to take in tepid or warm water in cold conditions
- Soak hay if appropriate to do so
- Soak hard feed to increase the fluid content
- Consider supplying a salt lick, or adding a small amount of salt to feed to encourage water intake.

If you are concerned your horse may be exhibiting signs of colic during this cold period, please contact the practice for advice.

As vets we often have to remove a horse’s eye for medical reasons and it is a big decision for the horse and owner!
We know horses cope remarkably well with one eye, but look at this video for a spectacular display of horsemanship and trust between a horse with no eyes and his owner!! 🙌

What a fantastic day of high level tuition and hands on experience, taught superbly by internationally renowned ISELP certified veterinary surgeons. We were so lucky to have such a high calibre of speakers coming to Tullyraine - these guys are like walking equine anatomy and imaging encyclopaedias!
Thank you so much to the speakers, the delegates, IMV imaging for the lend of extra scanners and sponsorship, IEVA for their help in organising the event and the horse owners willing to lend their horses for the day.
But most of all, we would like to thank our brilliant staff without whom we could not do any of this - thank you team!
