Don't miss out on our 3 for £30 WEC promotion 🙌

👉 Worm egg counting assesses the need for anthelmintic use. As we move more towards targeted treatment for our horses, both from avoiding giving treatments unnecessarily and managing our horses in a more sustainable way, worm egg counting gives us information about how many eggs each horse is shedding onto pasture 🪱

👉 Our aims in using anthelmintic drugs are to prevent high worm burdens that may cause disease and to reduce pasture contamination with worm eggs. A low level worm burden in our horses is normal. Using anthelmintics allows us to control the number of eggs shed on pasture which means worm burdens do not become excessive and cause disease.

If you would like to discuss pasture management or the WEC offer please call the team on 01768 483789 📲

To mark Earth Hour at 8:30pm today, we wanted to share some of the key things we do to promote sustainability 🌎

🌱 We have a 'green group' led by Sustainability Champion and small animal vet Laura Binnie.
🌱 We have performed a carbon audit at our two main branches (Dalston and Newbiggin), the results of which we will use as a benchmark as we progress and implement more of our sustainability plan.
🌱 We have performed a waste audit, ensuring we commit as little as possible to landfill or clinical waste and leaving what’s left to be recycled.
🌱 In our small animal department we use reusable cotton theatre gowns and hats and wear crocs instead of needing shoe covers. All of these are washable with environmentally friendly detergents.
🌱 We have a well-being garden, where colleagues have brought seeds and plants from their own gardens to add to the eclectic mix of plants.
🌱 Another easy win for us was moving away from buying milk in plastic bottles to having it delivered to the practices in glass reusable bottles 🥛

Protecting the planet is incredibly important to us here at Paragon, and we are delighted that our work has been recognised, from being awarded the highest Green Accreditation by Investors in the Environment to also winning the IiE national award for Best Water Reduction 👏🌎💧

Do you know the signs of equine gastric ulcers? 👇

🔹 Behaviour changes including irritability, reluctance to work or general change to your horses demeanour in the stable, whilst taking up or grooming
🔹 Poor body condition or coat condition
🔹 Diarrhoea / Loose feaces
🔹 Decreased appetite
🔹 Recurrent colic

There are many signs of ulcers in our horses, and not all horses will show the typical signs ⚠️

The only way to diagnose gastric ulcers is to perform a simple gastroscope; where a camera is passed up the horse's nostril, through the oesophagus and into the stomach.

This allows us to visualise what type of gastric ulcers your horse has to help plan an appropriate treatment.

If you notice any changes in your horses, please get in touch on 01768 483789 📞

Tetanus is a life-threatening disease which even with intensive treatment has poor survival rates ⚠️

It is caused by the bacteria Clostridium Tetani whose spores live for long periods in the soil and then contaminate open wounds.

The bacterium has an incubation period of 7-21 days, therefore often the wound may have healed prior to the horse showing symptoms of tetanus.

Tetanus can affect any horse regardless of age.

Vaccination for tetanus...
💉 The vaccine is very effective, and we strongly advise that all horses are vaccinated for tetanus whether they leave the premises and mix with other horses or not.
💉 This vaccine can be combined with your horse’s influenza vaccination or given separately.
💉 We would also advise in-foal mares receive a booster in their last month of pregnancy to help protect their foals.

If you have any questions, call us on 01768 483789 📞

Do you know the signs of equine herpesvirus?

EHV1 and EHV4 are most commonly seen and can cause:
👉 Respiratory infections
👉 Abortion in pregnant mares
👉 In rare cases, severe neurological disease

To reduce the risk of abortion, pregnant mares are advised to be
vaccinated at 5, 7 and 9 months of gestation.

It is advised that competition horses receive EHV as part of their annual vaccinations 💉

Did you know that we now have a vaccination for strangles? 💉 Vaccination with Strangvac can help reduce the severity of clinical signs, inluding: 👉 Reduced number of abscesses and spread of the disease. 👉 Improved protection at an individual horse level as well as on a yard level. 👉 Reduced risk of horses contracting strangles while travelling to other premises or attending equine events. This vaccination can also be used in an outbreak situation to help protect your horses ✅ We advise that horses receive a primary course of injections, which includes giving two injections four weeks apart and then subsequent boosters depending on your horses risk. Please contact one of our equine team on 01768 483789 if you want to discuss this further. Or to learn more, click here 👉 https://www.dechra.co.uk/equine/vaccines/strangles
