Here are some awesome tips from the AAEP to keep your horses safe this holiday. Our office will be closed tomorrow. Please call 913-681-3636 if you have an emergency. Press 1 and leave a voicemail. Sending you warm wishes for a joyous 4th of July!

The Fourth of July is almost here, and many horse owners are concerned about how their horses might react to loud fireworks. 🎆

In the graphic below are some tips to keep your pets and equine companions safe during the festivities.

If your horses are staying out overnight, now is a good time to check fencing and look for any hazards like rocks, branches, or holes that could lead to injury if an animal starts running. If you have a high level of concern about your horse's response, consult your veterinarian about the appropriateness of calming agents and sedatives in advance.

No matter what your plans are, please remember to practice safety and be considerate of the people and the animals living around you so everyone may enjoy the celebration.

Thank you to our Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

A great read from the AAEP on updated parasite control. Looking forward to discussing this with clients at your future wellness visits.

UPDATES GUIDELINES AVAILABLE 📢

The AAEP has issued revised Internal Parasite Control Guidelines to help minimize the risk of parasitic disease and maintain the effectiveness of current drugs for as long as possible by delaying further development of anthelmintic resistance.

The updated guidelines account for recent advances in knowledge concerning increased anthelmintic resistance and optimization of parasite control management practices. They also address common misconceptions and offer parasite control program recommendations for senior horses (over 15 years old), mature horses (between 5 and 15 years old), and young horses (under 5 years old).

Read more at: https://aaep.org/post/aaep-publishes-updated-internal-parasite-control-guidelines/

The guidelines were reviewed and updated by the AAEP Internal Parasite Control Guidelines Task Force, chaired by Dr. Nielsen and comprised of 10 AAEP members predominantly board certified in veterinary internal medicine, veterinary parasitology and/or veterinary microbiology. We thank them for their incredibly important work!

What is the significance of my horse's snotty nose? This is a frequent question we get from horse owners and the answer is not always straightforward. This time of year we see a lot of horses with a mild, clear or white discharge from both nostrils; this is usually attributed to seasonal allergies if the horse is otherwise healthy. If the consistency of the discharge is thicker, yellow or green tinged and larger volume that is a good indication the horse may have a respiratory infection. If the discharge is coming out of only one nostril (like the horse in the picture) and has a foul odor, it may be caused by an infected tooth that has caused a sinus infection. If you notice your horse has nasal discharge the first thing to do is to look at their overall health - take their temperature (normal is
