🐱 Meet the office kitties at BCVS! 🐱

Musubi and Dumpling are our resident greeters with a side-hustle in rodent control.

They are very friendly and adventurous, including exploring folks' vehicles and trailers.

📢 Please be sure to check your cars, trucks, truck beds, trailers and tack rooms to ensure they don't take a ride home with you after a visit to BCVS. 📢

📢 Our gastroscopy day is confirmed for MAY 8th! 📢

BCVS is teaming up with Dr. Moneta of Pacific Crest Equine to offer this service locally. There are still spots available, contact Dr. Ramsey at 503-410-2644 to get on the list!

EGUS (Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome) is a disease process that can be tricky to pin down. The signs can be vague and mimic other medical, behavioral, training, and tack fit issues. The only way to diagnose and target treatment is through gastroscopy. If your equine partner is exhibiting any of the signs below, give us a call to reserve your spot for this great opportunity!

☕🍪 Send coffee and snacks, your doctor is not ok! ☕🍪

Just kidding ... assembling office furniture means we are REALLY close to moving!

🎉 We will begin seeing appointments at the new office May 4th. 🎉

If your appointment is currently scheduled in April, we will still be at Dr. Hunter's office. If your appointment is in May, we will be at the new facility and you will be provided with the address ahead of time.

📢 BCVS is teaming up with Pacific Crest Equine Veterinary Services to offer a gastroscopy day! 📢

WHAT: endoscopy of the stomach is the gold standard for diagnosing Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS). It allows us to identify the location and severity of ulcers, and develop the most effective treatment and management plan.

WHY: proper diagnosis is essential for successful treatment of EGUS. Experience and research demonstrates that not all ulcers are created equal, and there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. The causes and risk factors associated with ulcers in different regions of the stomach affect our treatment and management choices and prognosis.

WHO: Dr. Lindsey Moneta has a special interest in endoscopy and is teaming up with Dr. Ramsey to offer this service locally!

WHERE: The new office at BCVS in Knappa!

WHEN: potential dates are Friday, May 1st or Friday, May 8th depending on interest.

HOW: contact Dr. Ramsey at 503-410-2644 to be added to the list and for any questions.

📣 Be sure to sign up for this seminar on the importance of equine dentistry tomorrow evening!📣

When it comes to oral health in our equine companions, an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. 🦷 Early and regular dental examination and floating allows us to identify and correct malocclusions, periodontal, and endodontic issues before they become clinical problems for your horse.

HORSE OWNER WEBINAR ALERT! 📢

Join us for the first Horse Owner Education Committee webinar of 2026! Our topic will be "Equine Dentistry – A Closeup Look Inside Your Horse’s Mouth."

If you've ever wondered what your veterinarian is looking for inside your horse’s mouth, this is your chance to find out! Learn what makes horse teeth unique and why oral exams and odontoplasty, or “floating,” are performed. We’ll also review what to expect during a dental appointment, common pathologies and diseases, and how dental management will often change as your horse ages.

Registration is FREE but required. A recording of the webinar will be available if you miss the live event. Register at: https://events.zoom.us/ev/Au79KIEGlUQNYp3MIwhImixtX96-V_4BY6zUczb-JyUAmnaMAMOO~AmWA7Q-adjl446fnk29Fr5TyD20L79wemxDsn628LwZjZ4BHVqqEh-rjTA

This informative session is brought to you by the AAEP Horse Owner Education Committee.
