When we are late to your appointment just know it’s because Dr. Mullins and Maggie are out there riding pigs! 🐖
But truly, thank you to everyone who understands why we are rarely on time; the animals are the ones that decide how long we stay places 😁

Thank you to One Stop Truck and Trailer Repair for your quick response in our time of need yesterday!
It’s a bad day when our vet truck is down with a flat tire during appointments. One Stop drove to Hurricane, took off the tire, went and got us a new one and got us back on the road to finish out our day!

Here is a reminder to always get radiographs before pulling foreign objects. We found this on a routine exam yesterday after the owner had concerns of hind end lameness.

CHEW ON THIS! Another valuable reminder about the importance of having a veterinarian check your horse’s teeth at least once a year, courtesy of AAEP horse doctor .christinestaten:

“Did you know that horses don’t really need their incisors to eat? Yep, even pasture. But if their incisors are a mess, it affects their ability to appropriately grind their food with their molars and pre-molars.

Dental work in horses is not just about floating teeth to get off points. It’s about balancing the mouth so that they can get the most nutrition out of their food without pain.

Shearing hay in the mouth is necessary to get the nutrition out. The guy in the picture was skinny because he could not move his jaw laterally enough to shear his food, but his health and body condition score improved significantly once the incisors were balanced.”

11/23/2022

We will be closed Thursday 11/24 and Friday 11/25.
We will have a vet on call like always, if you have an emergency call 740-867-0066
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

Happy first day of Summer! ’Tis the season for longer days at the barn, fun in the sun with your horse (remember to keep both of you hydrated!) and also, unfortunately, for a plethora of insects that become more active and numerous with the warmer temperatures.

Besides being very irritating, some of these bugs can spread infection and disease to your horse (and, in some cases, to you as well). Therefore, a very smart strategy is to control the problem before it gets out of hand, and minimize populations from the beginning.

The attached infographic contains some suggestions to get you started. Please keep in mind that there are many variations of these suggested programs that will still meet the same goals and follow the same principles.

If you’re interested in reading more about external parasites and vector control, comprehensive guidelines are available on our website at https://aaep.org/guidelines/external-parasite-and-vector-control-guidelines. As always, contact your veterinarian for more information and recommendations suitable for your horse’s specific situation!
