Let's talk about sleep, in particular, REM sleep,

What does REM stand for? It stands for Rapid eye movement.

REM Sleep is important for your horses learning, memory, brain function, immune system, behavior and overall comfort.

Yes, horses can sleep standing up but CANNOT enter REM sleep unless lying down.

So how do we insure our horses get enough sleep? Make it comfortable! Comfortable bedding, environment, body temperature and some times for our oldies pain management!

Let's talk early treatment!

Below we see two sets of xrays managing injury and arthritis.

The first. Received late treatment with 6 months between initial injury and xrays, and advancement of the osteoarthritis spread quickly and was detrimental to the horses movement.

The second, recieved treatment right away such as alpha 2eq injections, supplemental and physical rehab
In the bottom images you can see remarkably less damage to the joint than the first after twice the amount of time!

It is always a good idea to treat clinical signs when they present, by doing so you may be able to extend your horses riding career, the amount of time you have them, and overall comfort!

Give us a call for your treatment needs!

Seems it's always colic season. Did you know horses cannot vomit? We must alleviate gastric reflux with a NGT. Common causes of gastric /SI distension are impaction, ulcers, anterior enteritis, or a severe SISO (strangulating obstruction), such as caused by a lipoma. Call the equine team at 541 924 1700, and we can help with intensive medical care of equine colic.

What's something you should look out for this coming fall?

As horse owners, we know each season brings different things to keep an eye out for with our equine partners.

In the fall, we like to watch out for Laminitis (in plain terms founder). The green grass comes back with the rain, and for some horses this can cause laminitis.

What can you do to help avoid your horse getting laminitis?
-Limit your horse's access to lush grass
-If limiting their access is not doable, your horse may benefit from a grazing muzzle.
-Regular exercise and weight management
-Low sugar low carbohydrate feeds
-Soaking or hay for 15-20 minutes a day.

As always, call your vet if you begin to see symptoms and have questions, or if your horse is actively foundering!

Happy Fall!

Do you microchip your pets? the common answer would be yes, its a great way to keep track of them if they are lost, stolen or something happens!
Have you ever thought about doing it for your horse? It can offer the same benefits on keeping track of them, and give you peace of mind if you travel for shows, trail riding, or just want to take that extra precaution!
Happy horsing!
