Easter Egg Hunt (Theriogenologist Version) 🐣🐴

Durango Equine is proud to offer Trans-Vaginal Oocyte Aspirations! This complex procedure involves aspirating multiple ovarian follicles to recover oocytes that are then transported to a lab for ICSI (intra-cytoplasmic s***m injection).

This advanced reproductive procedure is especially useful for mares that cannot become pregnant, or for stallions with limited semen availability.

✨Interested in learning more about oocyte aspirations? Call to book a consult with Dr. Grady, one of the only equine exclusive theriogenologists in the state.✨

As part of National Pet Dental Health Month we want to also focus on some dental health facts!
🔘 Routine dental care is an essential part of your horse/donkey/mule/pony’s preventative healthcare. Annual examination of the mouth is highly recommended (this can also vary dependent on age)

🔘 The uneven wear of teeth is one of the most common causes for dental issues and can cause problems such as cuts, sores inside the mouth, loss of teeth, abscesses, and malnutrition.

🔘 A horse’s teeth grow continuously throughout his life - up to a point. Horses teeth are ‘Hypsodont’ which means they continue to erupt throughout their life to compensate for the constant wear occurring vs. human teeth are ‘Brachydont’, if you overwear your teeth there is no reserve.

Remember, we are still offering 20% off ALL routine dentals this month. Give us a call to schedule your appointment today!

Stay tuned for other fun facts this month!

Happy !!!!! 🐴 💕

💫 Are you ready for the most wonderFOAL time of the year?! The American Association for Equine Practitioners (AAEP) has some great guides for getting yourself and your mare ready to foal. Check back over the next few weeks as we highlight ways to have a successful and safe foaling season. 💫

➡️ This week we want to introduce the foaling kit! These are items that are good to have on hand as your mare gets closer to foaling. One thing we want to add is to have your vet’s number saved in your phone! That way if something happens during the birth that warrants a vet visit, it’s one less thing to look up and search for when time is of the essence. 🆘

Did you know?! 🤯⤵️

Collecting epididymal s***m from testicles immediately after they are removed allows us to preserve the genetics of a stallion lost for breeding purposes due to a catastrophic injury, acute illness, or sudden death. This procedure can also be applied to stallions at the time of scheduled castration.

✨ This is one of the many specialty reproductive services that we can assist with at Durango Equine. ✨

Questions?? ➡️ Give us a call at 623-386-2928.

💡Want to get a jump on breeding season?

💡If you hope to breed your open or maiden mare in the early spring, she needs to go under artificial lights. Mares started under lights by December 1 will likely begin cycling by mid-February. Natural daylight must be supplemented with artificial lighting for a total of 16 hours of light each day. This can be accomplished with the use of automatic timers or Equilume light masks.

💡Mares not placed under lights will typically start cycling by mid-March.

💡Questions? Call or email us today.

✨We would like to welcome our 2023-2024 intern veterinarian, Dr. Morgan Flanders!✨

Dr. Flanders graduated from the University College Dublin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2022, after which she completed a year long internship at Pine Bush Equine Services and Veterinary Hospital in New York.

Dr. Flanders’ professional interests include wound management, neonatal care, and reproductive management. Dr. Flanders intends to pursue a residency and become board certified in Theriogenology (reproductive medicine).

In her free time, Dr. Flanders enjoys snuggling with her kittens, Rhyme and Willow, when they aren’t busy causing chaos. Her other hobbies include reading, painting, and exploring new places.

➡️ Last week Dr. Grady attended the annual Theriogenology meeting in Birmingham, Alabama. ⬅️

Did you know that Dr. Grady is the only equine exclusive, board certified theriogenologist (reproductive specialist) in all of Maricopa County? 🤯🤩🐴 This distinction means that she has completed a rigorous training program and examination process giving her the highest level of accreditation. 🎓📚 You can rest assured that she has the medical and clinical knowledge, and diagnostic skills to help you achieve your goals. ✅

We want to thank our clients and staff for another successful breeding season at Durango Equine! Dr. Grady works around the clock during this time and her dedication is reflected in numbers below!! 💕👇🏼

BUT! Just because breeding season is over, it doesn’t mean the reproductive work ends! Some things to consider between now and the end of the year:

✅ Pregnant mares should be vaccinated at 5, 7, and 9 months gestation with a special EHV-1 vaccine, typically referred to as the “pregnant mare rhino” vaccine.
✅ Fall is the perfect time to collect and freeze semen on stallions, not interfering with their books in the spring!
✅ Oocyte Aspirations can be done in the fall, giving you the best chance at multiple embryos each year.

✨Call us at 623-386-2928 with questions about any of these services✨
