At the end of March, one of our brilliant veterinary team, Debbie Jackson, completed the Hastings Half Marathon - running in memory of her Dad, who very sadly and suddenly lost his life to pancreatic cancer. Many of her Dad's friends from his running club were also taking part, aiming to raise funds to support Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Debbie did an amazing job and raised ยฃ955.00 - ยฃ509.00 of which was matched by the wonderful Charities team at VetPartners UK, bringing the total to an incredible ยฃ1,464.00.

A huge well done to Debbie - we are so proud of you and your hard work!

As some of our clients may already be aware, a case of EHV-4 has recently been diagnosed in the Surrey area. We hope this post provides some useful information about the virus, and sensible precautions all owners can take to minimise the risk of transmission.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐„๐‡๐•?

The Equine Herpes Virus is a common DNA virus that most horses throughout the world will have already been exposed to, most often without displaying any serious symptoms. Of the four main types, EHV-1 and EHV-4 are most common in the UK.

EHV-1 can cause various types of symptoms in horses - respiratory, neurological and can cause abortion in pregnant mares.

EHV-4 most commonly causes non-fatal upper respiratory tract disease in young stock. However, it has more uncommonly been associated with abortion, and more rarely, with neurological disease. Adult horses are more likely to act as carriers of the virus: spreading it without showing clinical signs.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ?
Common symptoms: fever (a temperature of above 38.5C), lethargy, lack of appetite, nasal discharge, cough
Less common symptoms: abortion
Rare symptoms: neurological signs (wobbling, loss of coordination)

๐Œ๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฌ - ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐๐จ ๐ˆ ๐๐จ?
- Contact your local veterinarian who may wish to perform a nasopharyngeal swab or blood test.
- Monitor your horse twice daily, including taking their temperature twice a day.
- Isolate your horse from direct and indirect contact with other horses.

A nasopharyngeal swab should be repeated at the end of the isolation period to check for viral DNA - only if this is negative should the horse be released from isolation.

Ideally, a voluntary yard lockdown should be implicated should a case be diagnosed. This can be lifted 28 days following the cessation of clinical signs alongside a negative swab.

- Direct nose to nose contact
- Airborne (currently it is unknown exactly how far the virus can spread in this way)
- Indirectly via physical objects (clothing, tack, grooming equipment etc.)

EHV is given as two vaccines, the second given 4-6 weeks after the first. It then needs to be given on a six monthly basis.

The vaccine reduces viral shedding, so lowers the risk of horses transmitting EHV to each other. However, for this to be effective at least 70% of the yard needs to be vaccinated - there is limited benefit in vaccinating just one horse!

There is no vaccination that will prevent the neurological symptoms โ€“ in fact, if a horse already has been exposed to EHV there is evidence to suggest that then vaccinating them can increase the risk of them developing neurological symptoms.

๐‡๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ, vaccination does protect against all strains, a month after the 2nd vaccination. Vaccination of pregnant mares at 5/7/9 months to prevent abortion is normal practice at many large studs. Again, this relies on herd protection, and it is important to consider that like all vaccinations, the act of vaccinating itself can (rarely) cause abortion. As a result, vaccination needs consideration and application to the individual situation, and we would recommend discussing this with your veterinary surgeon.

Practicing good biosecurity measures is essential to preventing the spread of any contagious disease, not just EHV, and we would always recommend clients prioritise this.

Should you have any questions regarding biosecurity, EHV, or vaccinating against the virus, please contact the practice for veterinary advice on 01306 628222 or via [email protected] .

A very sad day at Mayes & Scrine today as we say goodbye to our amazing head nurse and pharmacy manager, Claire. Claire has been a part of the team for 28 years - and is a much valued and loved member of the practice who will be very sorely missed.

She has been a brilliant support to clinical and admin staff with her wealth of knowledge and experience, and has helped many clients and patients over the years, in all areas from hands on nursing to sourcing medications and arranging referrals.

We will miss her hugely, but wish her the best of luck in her next adventure! ๐Ÿดโค

Last week the Mayes & Scrine team were delighted to host equine vets from around the UK who visited to attend a Continued Professional Development course (CPD) focusing on castration, sedation and anaesthesia of equine patients in a field setting.

Run in conjunction with BEVA - The British Equine Veterinary Association, our clinical team, assisted by additional outside speakers, provided training and hands-on experience for twenty veterinary surgeons.

Castration can either take place under standing sedation or general anaesthesia, and vets will decide which method is best after evaluating the c**t or stallion. Various factors are taken into account, including age, size and accessibility of testicles!

The attending delegates were tasked with castrating a variety of different patients (from Shetland ponies to Warmbloods) under direction of the Mayes & Scrine vets and our visiting surgeons. They also had the opportunity to receive lectures from additional speakers and refine their nerve blocking skills, both for lameness and for ocular investigations.

It was a brilliant opportunity to share knowledge and techniques, and we hope all our delegates found it a valuable learning experience.
A huge thank you to the visiting speakers from The Liphook Equine Hospital, Three Counties Equine Hospital and Lingfield Equine Vets for their time and expertise. We would also like to thank Zoetis Equine for their sponsorship of the event.

Lastly, a well done to our own wonderful team for working so hard to make this day possible!

We are hoping to run more clinic days in the future, so please keep your eyes peeled for more information as it becomes available ๐Ÿด

Alex initially attended the lovely Blossom when her owner brought her in from the field and discovered a swollen, closed eye and a wound to her lower eyelid.

Despite being well the evening before, on examination, Alex found that Blossom had significant corneal oedema and inflammation in her eye presenting as a โ€˜blue eyeโ€™. Alex sutured the lower eyelid wound, and Blossom's eye was treated medically for 1 week - with her dedicated owners administered her medications four times a day during this time.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that the appearance of the eye seemed to be improving, poor Blossom remained painful and did not have any ocular reflexes. On ultrasound scan it was diagnosed that Blossom had retinal detachment, resulting in blindness and the likely cause of her ongoing pain. It was very unlikely that Blossom's eyesight would recover, so following discussions with her owners a decision was made to perform an enucleation (complete removal of the eye) due to her ongoing discomfort.

Blossom attended the practice where Alex, guided by our locum vet, Georgia, carried out the enucleation under standing sedation and local anaesthesia. Blossom was able to return home the same day and has been thriving since!

A huge thank you to Blossom's owners for allowing us to share her case, and for their excellent, diligent care of her during her illness. Blossom herself was an ideal patient, and it's safe to say we all absolutely loved having her to stay! โค๐Ÿด

Grace's first ever vaccination was expertly administered by Daniel, a visiting final year veterinary student from the University of Surrey. Mayes & Scrine is one of several veterinary practices partnered with the University, and approved to offer intramural rotations (IMR). Final year veterinary students see practice with our clinical team for four weeks at a time, attending routine and emergency calls, assisting with procedures and gaining valuable first-hand experience of the day-to-day workings of an ambulatory vet.

Well done Daniel for giving Grace a positive experience with her first vaccination - and thank you to Grace's owner for letting us share her photo, she is so cute! ๐Ÿดโค

Donโ€™t hoard unused antibiotics for a rainy day. Instead, we're asking horse owners to give leftover antibiotics back to their vet when they next visit.

Why should you give them back:
๐Ÿ’ŠIt's better for our horses
"Giving random, leftover or old antibiotics to your horse for a suspected infection could make things worse" Dave Rendle, BEVA Immediate Past President

๐ŸฅฌIt's better for the environment
โ€œIt is crucial not to throw old medicines away in the rubbish or flush them down the loo, as they can eventually return to the environment, contaminating soil and watercourses and cause damage to wildlife,โ€ Roger Smith, BEVA President
