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!

Our Equine Ambulatory service is happy to offer students an elective opportunity with our rotation. The veterinary students at MU are required to take a rotation with our service during their clinical years. With this elective, we can now offer additional time with the field service towards their learning. Our hope is with this elective, we will be continuing to encourage and develop students' interest in providing general practice care to equine clients.

Part of the elective requirement is to create an informational equine-oriented social media post.

This post was created by Ashely Silvey, a fourth-year veterinary student.

Lynn Martin, DVM, Columbia, Mo., received the MVMA’s Ortu Stella Award. The award for early career leadership was presented to Dr. Martin by Dr. Bruce Whittle, Trenton, Mo.

The Ortu Stella recipient must in some way shine brightly, aid comrades in navigating the veterinary profession, assist in illuminating the path for those around them, and/or demonstrate that they habitually strive to rise to the occasion.

Dr. Martin was recently elected as vice-president of the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association. She graduated from the University of Missouri in 2014 achieving her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Master of Public Health. She is currently an Assistant Teaching Professor of Equine Internal Medicine in the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery at the University of Missouri.

Trigger warning - abscess being lanced in video. Public service announcement. We are currently facing a Pigeon Fever outbreak in central Missouri. Due to the drought and warmer than usual conditions, we have seen a number of cases of ‘Pigeon Fever’ here in mid-Missouri. Pigeon Fever caused by the bacteria, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis actually has nothing to do with pigeons but got its name from the large 'pigeon breast' appearance the abscesses cause. There are multiple forms of the disease. Most commonly we see external abscesses, rupturing in the pectoral region or ventral abdomen. More serious manifestations of the disease include ulcerative lymphangitis affecting the limbs or internal abscessation (affecting <10% of the population). Pigeon fever is highly contagious through infected exudate, and can be transmitted by flies, grooming supplies, etc. If you suspect your horse has pigeon fever we urge you to call your veterinarian.

Dr Keegan is not only an excellent equine surgeon, but can also play music on nasogastric tubes! A man of many talents!! 🎺🎼

Equine Lameness at MU VHC

If you have ever wondered what veterinarians are doing when looking a horse that may be lame, check out this video explaining the process. And get in touch with us if you need a horse evaluated for lameness or performance issues, we have just the people and tools to help you out! 573-882-3513

Some of our doctors and staff have been out there moving and shaking with their horses/mules this fall despite the shortening days and end of good weather. Drs. Fisher, LaCarrubba, Sagarra, Comly, Scharf, Pitts, and Reed as well as Melody are still making the rounds with their horses. What are you doing this fall with your horses? Post a picture in the comments and let's see!

How do we know we have a mule in the clinic? No matter where they go in the stall, we can always see their ears in the camera!

Since the clinicians use the Lameness Locator frequently in the MU VHC Equine Clinic, many of you will have seen it used in horses. Did you know the Lameness Locator can also be used on other species? We are working with Dr. Cedric Chan at the Dubai Camel Hospital to modify LL to measure lameness in racing camels.
