🐴 FOOT BALANCE CLINIC 🐴

After some great feedback and amazing results, we have decided to continue our foot balance clinic into 2025!

Did you know that incorrect foot balance is a common cause of lameness?
Correct foot balance helps to minimise the strain on joints, tendons and ligaments in and around the foot as well as higher up the limb.

What's included in the clinic:
🐴 Front foot radiographs
🐴 2 radiographs per foot
🐴 Copies of annotated views
🐴 Additional £20 for hind foot radiographs
(All radiographs can we emailed to your farrier on request)

What we need from you:
🫵 3 or more horses to confirm booking
🫵 30 minutes of your time per horse
🫵 A spacious area to set up the portable radiograph machine

PLUS lots of tea and biscuits! ☕🍪

Not a registered client? That's not a problem! All we ask is for you to let us know which veterinary practice your horse is registered with, so we are able to give them a courtesy call.

If you are interested in booking a clinic with us or would just like to find out more, please give the office a call on ☎ 01584 841080 ☎

Winter rugging is a minefield! 🥶🤯🥵

As our climate changes and becomes more variable we need to think more carefully about rugging our horses. When deciding what rug to use, or whether your horse needs one at all, you will need to consider the following:

🐴 Is your horse stabled or turned out?
🐴 If your horse is turned out, is shelter available? Is the weather wet and windy? This can make the temperature feel colder than it is, especially if shelter is not available.
🐴 The age & type of your horse – young and old horses may be less likely to be able to maintain their body temperature.
🐴 Whether your horse is clipped or not, and if so, what type of clip they have. Horses that have a low trace clip, for example, which leaves much of the hair on their body can be considered ‘unclipped’.
🐴 The level of their work.
🐴 Your horse’s health and condition.

Use the table as a general guide to what rug you may need. This is a general guide and we do recognise that all horses are different, and your decision should be made based on your horse’s needs.

Just remember that it’s important not to ‘over rug’, as your horse can become too warm which may lead to them sweating underneath the rug. It’s easier for a horse to warm up than cool down.
A horse that cannot cool down enough may suffer from heat stress if they are over-rugged. Signs of heat stress are loss of appetite, colic like symptoms, rapid heart rate/breathing rate and lethargy.

🦦🦥 We don’t just see horses 🦥🦦

Last week Beth and Kayleigh headed over to Dudley Zoo with our portable x-ray machine to assist Stewart Vets.

Flo and Reggie the two toed sloths, needed x-rays of their claws taken before their claw trimming procedure was able to be carried out. Flo was also accompanied by her 2-month-old baby, now named Judith.

Minnie the otter had had x-rays of her leg taken to try and find the reason for her limp, Beth was amazed about how muscled her tail was.

💊Always ensure you have at least a week's worth of medication when ordering a repeat prescription, but especially around the Christmas and New Year period. Whilst we try to ensure medication is sent next day delivery, posties and courier companies have pre-warned about potential delays 💊

There will always be the option of collecting medication from the practice at Bridgnorth or for us to organise a vet to bring it along with them if you have a booked visit.

Expectation V Reality- winter edition ☔️🐴

Let’s discuss sand… Due to increased rainfall and poorer quality grazing at this time of the year we see horses ingesting higher levels of sand. Horses and ponies on short pasture (those who may be in diet paddocks) are at an increased risk of ingesting more sand. Sand can irritate the intestines as it moves along which can lead to diarrhoea, weight loss and in some cases colic. Testing for sand is simple and effective, we have put together the short video below to demonstrate how quicky and easy it is to test your horses' faeces for excessive sand. We recommend everyone tests their horse’s droppings 💩 it’s amazing how much sand can hide in there. Getting rid of excess sand is done by feeding a product called psyllium. This picks up sand as it moves through the intestinal tract and allows it to be passed in the faeces. If you find sand in your horse's droppings, we recommend completing a course of psyllium for 5 days and then testing your horse’s droppings on a monthly basis to see if repeat courses are needed in the future. If you have any concerns regarding sand, call ☎️ 01584 841080 ☎️ to chat to one of our vets.
