Patient spotlight 🩺🐴

Toby the pony suffered from a ruptured eye that was infected. His eye could not be saved, so his owner brought him in for an enucleation (removal of the eye). The procedure was done standing by numbing the area so he couldn’t feel a thing! With lots of love and support from his dedicated owner, Toby is on his way to a full recovery.

Did you know horses and ponies do extremely well with one eye and can go back to full function that includes athletic performance? This pony has a bright future ahead of him!

Thank you to all of our farriers, especially our very own Justin who works so hard to keep our patients going!

It's National Farriers Week! Let's celebrate the hard work that our farriers put in daily to partner with equine veterinarians and ensure the health and well-being of our horses. Proper hoof care is essential for a sound and happy horse, so it goes without saying that a skilled farrier is both a necessity and a tremendous asset.

Don't forget to give a shoutout to your farriers this week and show them your appreciation for their dedication to their craft!

🩸🐐🐑 🪱 It’s parasite season and our blood donor herd has been hard at work saving lives!! 🩸🐐🐑 🪱

If you notice lethargy, not eating well, or diarrhea that is the time to take immediate action and call your veterinarian! Many don’t show symptoms until it’s life threatening!! Remember to watch your sheep & goat herd carefully during warm, wet seasons for parasite blooms. A FAMACHA score should be taken every 2-4 weeks on each animal to monitor for anemia. Here is a link to our website with more information about parasite control and how to check a FAMACHA score:

With all of the rain and warm weather we’re in lawn mowing season! 🌾🌦️If you or your neighbors have grass eating animals 🐴🐮🐑🐐 please be aware of where you put your lawn clippings! ‼️Fresh clippings are NOT hay and NOT a treat‼️ They are dangerous for animals to consume and can cause numerous issues that can result in death ☠️. Please dispose of your lawn clippings in the trash or in a place that is not accessible to animals that might mistake it for a delicious snack. If your animal does consume grass clippings please call your veterinarian right away!

Did you know?

The most common parasites of adult horses cause very little stress on the nutritional status of a horse. Just because a horse looks good from the outside, it does not mean it should not to be checked for internal parasites—as a matter of fact, it is not uncommon for the horse with the best coat and highest body condition score in the herd to also have the highest F***l Egg Count (FEC)!

If your horse has access to pasture, you should assume the animal is exposed to parasites. This spring, talk with your veterinarian to establish a dewormer plan tailored to your horse’s situation that includes at least 1-2 dewormer treatments per year and FEC examinations to monitor treatment efficacy and parasite egg shedding status of individual horses.

Get your shedding comes ready!

'Tis the season to be hairy (horse owners)!

If, however, you notice that your horse is clinging to their winter coat longer than they should, it might be time to give your veterinarian a call — especially if your horse is 15+.

A long haircoat that fails to shed according to normal seasonal patterns is the most classic sign of Equine Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID), also known as Cushing’s disease. This disorder of the pituitary gland results in hormonal imbalances and is one of the most common diseases of middle-aged and geriatric horses.

Early diagnosis and treatment are key to helping horses with PPID live long, happy lives. Without treatment, symptoms tend to worsen over time and many horses are euthanized as a consequence of laminitis, recurrent foot abscesses or complications related to bacterial infections.

Who likes getting bloodwork back in 10 minutes? 🙋🏼‍♀️ While we have several “stall side” tests we perform, this one is pretty great! Serum Amyloid A, or SAA for short, is a protein that directly rises and falls with sick horses. By measuring this protein we can diagnose a variety of illnesses and can catch sick horses before they show signs! We can also use it monitor sick patients to see if they’re improving. How cool is that? To learn how this simple test can help your horses call today! (918) 800-3042
