Dear Tryon Equine clients,

Given the recent Hurricane that has upended the lives of many humans and animals alike, we would like to make some recommendations regarding management of our equid companions moving forward.

Given the significant weather changes and flooding associated with the recent Hurricane, certain infectious diseases may become more prevalent and outbreaks/clusters of normally rarer/less- common diseases could occur. Potomac horse Fever (PHF), a bacterial diarrheal disease, transmitted via aquatic insects (caddisflies, mayflies, damselflies, and dragonflies), in horses that are kept near rivers/ streams, or in irrigated/flooded pastures, is one that may surface after this Hurricane. This disease is normally seen during the warm weather months.

Potomac Horse Fever can cause fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, diarrhea, laminitis, abortion in pregnant mares and can be deadly. Vaccination does not prevent the disease completely but will attenuate the clinical signs.

We are recommending boostering horses with this vaccination. In horses that have been vaccinated for PHF >6 months previously, a second booster 3 weeks later is recommended. We also recommend ensuring that other bi-annual vaccinations are up to date including, EWT (Eastern & Western Equine Encephalitis & tetanus) , WNV (West Nile Virus) and Flu/Rhinopneumonitis (Influenza and Herpes virus).

Best,

Dr. Emilie L. Setlakwe, DVM, MSc, Dipl. ACVIM (LA)

Vet Tech Appreciation Week starts now! #vettechappreciationweek #equinevettechs #ourstaffrocks #tryonequinehospital #tryonequine

Last week during Vet Tech Appreciation Week the hospital had an appreciation station in which one of the activities was to give shout outs to fellow co-workers within our Tryon Equine staff. In a world full of uncertainty, there is certainly one thing that is clear and that is the positivity and support that is felt within our Tryon Equine family. We hope these words of affirmation make you smile as they did all of us! We are truly blessed with a dedicated and talented staff that provides the absolute best veterinary care!

Use of Aquatread therapy can be a beneficial form of equine physical therapy for horses recovering from tendon/ligament injuries, colic surgery, soft tissue stifle injuries, and other incidences where horses require increased physical exertion with minimal stress exerted on healing tissue. Still Creek Farm rehabilitation and Aquatred center is located right next door to Tryon Equine Hospital. Over the last several years working with Aquatread therapy we have seen many of our patients benefit from the use of the Aquatread to help speed up their recovery from various injuries and post surgey. @stillcreekfarmnc #tryonequine #aquatherapy #watertreadmill #equinerehab #aquatread #equineaquatherapy #horserecovery #horseinjury #underwatertreadmill #equinehydrotherapy
