It’s a good time to remind horse owners about the dangers of these seeds for horses. They are seeds of either the sycamore or box elder tree and contain a toxin called Hypoglycin A. It causes severe muscle damage with 70-90% fatality. Seedlings or contaminated water troughs can be a source of poisoning as well. It often happens in stormy weather when the seeds blow into paddocks. Not all trees are equally toxic but it pays to avoid having these trees anywhere near horse paddocks.

We have this VP Natural Spray in the clinic and it’s great!! 🥳

A Natural Way..

Can be very effective, for example using a natural fly repellent for horses and dogs - incorporating ingredients like citronella, tea tree oil, rosemary, and lemon oil, offers a multitude of benefits for both the animal and its owner. These natural ingredients not only effectively ward off annoying insects but also provide a safer alternative to chemical-laden repellents. Citronella, with its pleasant aroma, acts as a potent deterrent for flies, while tea tree oil brings its antiseptic properties to the mix, promoting skin health for the horse. Rosemary and lemon oil contribute not only to the repellent properties but also offer a refreshing scent. Opting for a natural fly repellent ensures that the animal is not exposed to harmful chemicals, reducing the risk of skin irritations or adverse reactions. Additionally, it aligns with an eco-friendly approach, promoting a healthier environment for both the animal and its surroundings. Note essential oils should not be used on cats.

Dental diseases are not always obvious 🤨

By the time you notice a swelling in the jaw, nasal discharge from an infected tooth or weight loss, the problem is already well advanced.

🦷 Floating of teeth with light standing sedation is essential. It allows the vet to have the most complete view of the inside of your horses mouth.
🦷 A regular, detailed veterinary exam is the best way to discover subtle changes to teeth and soft tissues while addressing sharp points and imbalance that can greatly impact the horses wellbeing and performance

A healthy mouth is crutial in the overall wellbeing of your horse. Their ability to do their job willingly and well, regardless of discipline, depends on it!

How will I know if my horse has ulcers? 🤔

In the past, the only way we could diagnose ulcers was on behavioural and clinical symptoms – this includes an array of symptoms, including; 👉🏽 poor coat
👉🏽 difficulty gaining weight
👉🏽 recurrent colic
👉🏽 temperament or behavioural changes
👉🏽 reduced appetite
👉🏽 picky eating
👉🏽 girthiness and/or sensitivity around the abdomen
👉🏽 poor performance
👉🏽 crib biting, etc. etc.

However recent studies have shown tolerance and outward signs of gastric ulcers will vary immensely between horses – some with mild ulcers may show obvious outward signs, whereas other stoic horses (or ‘silent suffers’) may only show mild and transient symptoms (e.g. nervousness, picky eating), despite having severe ulcers.

Gastroscopy – the use of an endoscope to directly visualise the stomach lining, is the only definitive and accurate method to assess the presence and severity of gastric ulcers – most importantly it is the only way to diagnose between the two separate diseases Equine Squamous Gastric disease (ESGD) and Equine Glandular Gastric Disease (EGGD).
