❄️ Colic Alert: Don't Let Winter Impair Your Horse's Health! 🐴

As temperatures drop, your horse's risk of impaction colic rises. This is usually caused by their digestive system slowing down due to two main factors:

Dehydration: Horses prefer water that is between 45-65 degrees. When water is icy cold, they typically won't drink enough to keep the massive amount of dry winter hay moving through their gut.

Lack of Movement: Limited turnout or poor pasture conditions due to bad weather means less walking, which is crucial for stimulating gut motility.

Here is your 3-Point Winter Colic Prevention Plan:

🧊 Warm the Water: Use bucket heaters or check troughs frequently to ensure the water is not freezing and is palatable. Every sip counts!

🚶 Encourage Movement: Even 15-20 minutes of hand walking or light exercise in an indoor arena can significantly boost gut health.

🍎 Monitor Manure: Watch for small, dry, or hard f***l balls—this is an early warning sign of dehydration and potential impaction.

REMEMBER: Colic is always an emergency. If you notice pawing, flank-watching, reduced appetite, or persistent discomfort, call us immediately. Don't wait and see!

Is Your Cat a Curvy Queen or a Healthy Hero? Let's Find Out! 🧐

We hear it all the time: "My cat isn't fat, they're just... fluffy!" Unfortunately, extra weight drastically increases the risk of Feline Diabetes, Arthritis, and heart disease.

Take the Simple 3-Step Test:

😻The Rib Test: Gently run your hands along your cat's side. You should be able to feel their ribs easily, like feeling the back of your hand. If you have to press hard to find them, your cat is likely overweight.

😻The Tummy Tuck: View your cat from the side while they are standing. The belly area should slope slightly upward behind the ribs. If it sags down, they are carrying excess fat.

😻The Spine Test: Gently feel along the spine. The vertebrae should feel like small, distinct bumps. If the spine feels covered and smooth, it's time for a diet discussion!

We love a squishy cat, but we love a healthy cat more! If you think your kitty needs a tune-up, book a wellness visit with our team. We can help you create a safe, effective weight loss plan!

🐴 Taming the Acid: Understanding and Preventing Equine Gastric Ulcers

Gastric ulcers are a widespread problem in horses, but their management is often misunderstood! Horses are trickle feeders, and their stomach constantly produces acid, which is normally buffered by saliva and forage. When things change, the acid can damage the stomach lining, leading to pain and poor performance.

Here are some key management strategies to reduce risk:

🌾 Forage First, Always: Horses should ideally never go longer than 4-6 hours without access to forage (hay or pasture). Use slow-feeders to prolong eating time.

🍽 Small & Frequent Meals: If feeding concentrates, divide them into small meals and feed a handful of hay or chaff before exercise to provide a protective layer against acid splash.

😌 Minimize Stress: Consistent turnout, social contact, and routine are critical. Stress from intense training or frequent hauling increases ulcer risk.

💊 Careful with NSAIDs: Long-term use of medications like "Bute" (phenylbutazone) or Banamine can compromise the stomach's protective lining. Always follow vet instructions carefully.

Worried about your horse? Talk to us about a gastroscopy—it’s the gold standard for diagnosis and the first step to a happier, healthier horse!
