Lest we forget

During World War One Britain and the Commonwealth lost 484,143 horses and another 2.5 million were treated with wounds and sickness

The War Horse 1914 - 1918

I was pulled from my field, from my work, from my play
Ne're to see England in lands far away
Through death and destruction, through blood, sweat and tears
I carried my master, along with my peers
So I ask you to remember a while,
Along with the soldiers in smart rank and file,
Remember our beauty, the strength of our kind,
As we galloped through danger, without care to mind
For we were the horses thrust into war
And we gave up our lives for your peace evermore.

❄️ Winter tips - cough ❄️

Equine asthma (previously called RAO or COPD) occurs mainly as a result of exposure to organic dusts mainly associated with stabling.
Equine asthma results from a hypersensitivity response especially to particles from mouldy hay. The disease can be totally or partially reversed by treating with bronchodilators, steroids and environmental changes.

A routine clinical exams can be performed by your vet or in more severe cases a tracheal wash or bronchioalveolar lavage to enable analysis of airway secretions and determine appropriate treatment plan.

Some things you can do to reduce the risk of your horse developing a cough, or to help with the treatment if your horse has a cough:

😷 Ensure that the stable has good ventilation. 😷An outside stable is generally better than a barn.
😷Feed hay or haylage from the ground or a container on the floor rather than a haynet or high level hayrack.
😷Soak or steam hay, or use haylage as an alternative.
😷Bed on dust-extracted shavings or minimal dust bedding (although if your horse is stabled in a barn with other horses on straw, then the advantage of changing a single horse’s bedding is negligible.

Most horse owners will dread that time in early November (or New Year’s Eve) when fireworks seem to go on forever. This is especially as horses and fireworks can be a difficult combination to manage.
How to help your horse cope with fireworks
As bonfire night approaches make sure you take precautions to minimise the impact they have on your horse or pony.
• Find out if there are any displays/fireworks planned near to where your horse is kept. Local press and shop notice boards as well as local radio and Facebook groups are a good source of information.
• Contact organisers to explain your concerns. See if there are any measures they can take – for example, moving to the far end of a site and ask about timings so you can manage your horse appropriately.
• It may be worth asking people living locally if they intend to have any private fireworks so that you can express your concerns and also be prepared.
• Stick to your horse’s normal routine wherever possible as sudden changes may make them more unsettled. If they are usually stabled, keep them stabled. If they are normally out in the field, keep them out there as long as it is safe, secure and not close to a firework display area.
• Wherever your horse is spending the night make sure it is safe and secure. If they are staying in check the stable for protruding nails or loose string they could get caught up on. If out in the field make sure your fencing is secure with no broken rails, no barbed wire and cleared of objects that could possible injure your horse, such as farm machinery.
• Playing music outside the stable can mask bangs. However, make sure you introduce this before firework night to ensure the music itself does not worry them.
• Similarly leaving your stable lights on can help reduce the effect of sudden bright flashes in the night sky.
• Make sure you are with your horse during the scheduled times for any local displays. If you can’t be there ensure you have someone experienced checking on them throughout the duration of any displays.
• Leave clear instructions for them as well as contact information for you and your vet should anything happen. If you know your horse gets very stressed around fireworks consider moving him for the night or talking to your vet about sedation.
• Remain calm and be very aware of your own safety when your horse is stressed. An injured owner is no good to anyone, including your horse!
Whatever you do, do not ride when you know there are displays planned near-by.

Equine mud fever ❓

Equine mud fever also known as Pastern Dermatitis, is a common skin condition in horses, typically occurring in wet, muddy conditions.

It causes, scabs and inflammation on the lower limbs, especially around the pasterns and heels. This is caused by bacteria thriving in damp environments. It is not contagious but can be very painful for our horses

Symptoms
❓ Broken skin on legs heels
❓ Patches of hair loss
❓ Scabs that may discharge
❓ Swelling and heat
❓ In more severe cases may cause lymphangitis

Prevention
❌ Providing dry turnout areas and regular
❌ Grooming of the lower limbs.
❌ Prompt treatment, including thorough cleaning and veterinary medications if needed. ❌Maintaining good hygiene and managing the environment are essential to minimise its impact on horses.

🪱 HHP members worming risk assessments 🪱

what is it and what factors does it consider?

Knowing whether we need to worm our horses and when can be a minefield, but understanding your horse’s risk profile is a great place to start.

A worm risk assessment enables you and your vet to gain a better understanding of your horse’s parasite risk profile (low/med/high) and will also help your vet to advise you on what you can do to help reduce your horse’s worm burden.

Together with test results from faecal worm egg counts and tapeworm tests, a risk assessment can also help to identify if, when and with what wormer your horse needs to be treated.

A risk assessment looks at:
🐎Age of your horse
🐎Clinical/worming history & test results from worm egg counts and tapeworm tests
🐎The number of horses grazing together
🐎Pasture management such as poo picking, co-grazing, rotation etc.
🐎How the herd is managed if your horse is kept with others

Please fill out your risk assessment below ⬇️

❄️ Winter tip - impaction colic❄️

Did you know that impaction colic is more common during winter, especially for stabled horses?

This is because often horses spend more time in their stable, and therefore are moving less and eating less grass, which contains around 75% water compared to hay which contains around 20%.

Combined sometimes with a reluctance to drink very cold water, can have the effect of slowing down the movement of droppings through the large intestine, creating an impaction.
Careful management is key to minimise the risk of impaction colic.

Here are some tips:
🌳Ensure that your horse is turned out and has regular exercise as much as possible

Ensure that your horse has access to fresh (not frozen) water 24/7

🐎If possible avoid sudden changes in exercise routine and sudden periods of box rest

🦷 Ensure your horse has regular dental examinations and treatment

🧹 Consider bedding on shavings rather than straw

Our Romsley office is closing at the slightly earlier time of 2pm today.

🪱If you havent already please request your tapeworm saliva test and risk assessment form

NEW to 2024👏🏼

We’ve added a brand-new benefit to our Horse Health Programme membership to help in the fight against resistance to the drugs used in wormers – an annual Worm Risk Assessment.

If you are a member, you have everything you need to implement a gold standard diagnostic-led, risk-based approach to worming, which means you only need to worm your horse if test results and the risk assessment indicate it’s necessary.

This mare came in for a routine check during her pregnancy. She is 5 months pregnant so a rectal scan isn’t very useful; instead she was scanned through her abdomen like we do in humans. Such a clear picture of the little heart beating 💗 The mare also started her Herpes vaccinations - herpes virus can cause abortions in pregnant mares so it is a really important and easy preventative procedure - the vaccination course is 1 vaccine at 5, 7 and 9 months of gestation

Happy Monday 🌟 Great to see these beautiful shires out at the weekend at Bath and West Show. We would love to see what the rest of our clients have been up to this weekend too 😊 #vetsinwarwickshire #cornerhouseequinevets #equinevets #shirehorse #bathandwestshow

🌟 TAKING YOUR HORSES TEMPERATURE 🌟 It is very important to be able to check your horses temperature at times, especially if you have any concerns regarding an infectious disease. It is good to know what is ‘normal’ for your horse. A normal temperature ranges from anything from 37-38.5. Only check your horses temperature if you think they will tolerate it and remember to stay safe. Here is a video of our student nurse Hayley explaining how to check a temperature 😊 #vetsinwarwickshire #cornerhouseequinevets #equinevets #horsetemperature

Our nurse Harriet is helping out another CVS practice this weekend as a locum - first job was running a blood sample from an Alpaca 🤣🤣 #vetsinwarwickshire #cornerhouseequinevets #equinevets #alpaca #NotJustHorses

Happy Christmas to all our lovely clients - thank you for your support 😊🎄

Vets are well known for not running to time - this is never intentional, it is usually because we have squeezed in an emergency or a case has taken longer than planned or we have been delayed in traffic. However, when one of our vets received this as their Secret Santa present from the clinic we couldn’t help but have a little chuckle 🤣🤣 What’s been your best Secret Santa present? #secretsanta #timekeeping #cornerhouseequinevets
