Does your horse suffer with Sweet itch? Its time to start thinking about prevention options!🧐 ℹ️ 🦟

Sweet itch is an allergic response to the saliva of biting culicoides midges. Management and fly repellents are fundamental in looking after affected horses and ponies.

In recent years, a sweet itch vaccine has become available, called Insol Dermatophyton. It is technically licensed for Ringworm, so use for sweet itch is off license. Effects are variable with limited scientific research to date, but there are some promising studies. Anecdotal reports suggest at least 50% efficacy in reducing symptoms of sweet itch. The vaccine works by reducing histamine release, hence preventing the itch scratch cycle before it starts.

The vaccine requires two injections, two weeks apart. These should be given before the onset of clinical signs, ideally in February/March before the fly population increases. We may give a booster in August.

The vaccine is currently unavailable in the UK, so we import it. It comes in a 2ml vial, and the dose given is 0.5ml. Once the vial is opened it has to be used that day. Therefore we try to coordinate up to 4 horses for vaccination on the same date.

If you would like to vaccinate your horse this year or would like to speak to a vet for more information, please get in touch with the office or Robert on 01397702727 or [email protected] 🐴☀️💉🦟

🐾 Attention Dog Owners! 🐾

We have an important update regarding your dog's vaccinations!

MSD has ceased production of the Lepto 2 Vaccine. Starting mid January 2025, we will be transitioning to the Nobivac Lepto 4 Vaccine to ensure your furry friends remain fully protected against leptospirosis. This new vaccine includes cover for additional strains that are now present in the UK.

Your pet's health and wellbeing are always our top priority, so we're here to make this transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here's what you need to know:

🐕 For Puppies- the good news is we have already been routinely using the Lepto 4 vaccine for all puppy vaccinations, so no change here! If you are not sure which vaccine your young dog received, check their vaccine card or we can check their clinical records for you.

🐕 For Adult dogs - when your dog's annual vaccination is due we will give them the Lepto 4 vaccine along with whatever else they are due. To ensure full protection against leptospirosis, your dog will need a second dose of Lepto 4 vaccine 4 weeks later. There will be no extra cost for the second dose! After this, annual vaccinations will continue as usual.

We understand you may have questions or concerns, and we are here to help! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us by email or telephone to discuss this further before your appointment. Our vets will also be happy to discuss the switch during your vaccination consultation.

Thankyou for trusting us with your pet's care. Together we will ensure they stay happy and healthy! 🐾♥️🐾

🍄 Mushroom Toxicity Case Study 🍄 Meet Nevis! Nevis suddenly started showing neurological symptoms a couple hours after a walk in the woods. He was twitching and wobbly on his legs and looked very anxious! His owner brought him straight in for assessment and when asked if he could have eaten any mushrooms she immediately went back to the area he had been walked to gather any they could find. We sent images of the mushrooms they found to Veterinary Poisons Information Service who have a mycologist who can advise on the species of mushroom and likely toxicity. Luckily, in Nevis' case he was able to identify one of the mushrooms and inform us that his symptoms would be short lived and he would not have any long lasting effects. After some TLC in our Hospital overnight, Nevis is now back to his normal fun loving self! There are several mushrooms which if ingested can cause serious illness in our pets and now is the time of year we see them! NB Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, weakness, lack of coordination, tremors, hallucinations, vocalisations, disorientation, agitation, and seizures. If your dog shows any of the above please seek veterinary guidance asap!
