Great reminder while the smoke from Canadian fires is in our area. This type of air quality is especially hard on horses with heaves or other underlying respiratory issues.

🔥 Wildfire Smoke & Horse Health 🐴💨

As wildfire season heats up, so does the risk of poor air quality — not just for us, but for our horses too. Smoke from wildfires can irritate a horse's respiratory system and cause fatigue, coughing, difficulty breathing, etc.

You can monitor air quality at www.airnow.gov. During periods of poor air quality, you can protect your horse by:
🐎 Limiting exercise
💧 Providing fresh water
💦 Controlling dust such as watering dry lots and soaking or feeding dust-free hay
🕰 Allowing time for recovery: airway damage from wildfire smoke takes 4 to 6 weeks to heal after air quality returns to normal.

Summer is right around the corner and with it…. pasture turnout! This means bulls are gearing up for their jobs!
Want to ensure your bulls are in tip-top shape for this year’s breeding season?! Schedule a breeding soundness/fertility exam today.
Our veterinarians can ensure your bulls are fertile and able to pass on those genetics. Bull semen is evaluated for any issues that could indicate infertility. Eyes, hooves and overall body condition are also assessed during the exam. We can also administer any vaccinations, dewormer and/or fly control that you implement for your cattle program!
Call today to schedule; 701-690-0509

Great reminder on acclimating your horse to the green grass. Slowly turning your horse out onto pasture reduces the risk of colic and laminitis.

🐴 Hold your horses! Before turning them out to pasture, here’s what you need to know:

🛑 Wait until plant heights average 6 to 8 inches. Waiting allows plants to recover from winter, produce leaves necessary for regrowth, and reach lower nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) levels.
🌾 Slowly ease horses onto pastures in 15-minute daily increments.

⏰ Begin with 15 minutes of grazing on the first day, 30 minutes the second day, etc until you reach 5 hours. After that, unrestricted grazing can occur if adequate forage is available. Slow transitions in diet provide time for the horses' microbes to adjust, which reduces the chance of laminitis and colic.

🍽️ To further support a slow transition, feed hay prior to pasture turnout to discourage horses from overconsumption early on.

It’s that time of year for annual equine vaccinations!

• What vaccines do horses need? Each and every horse is recommended to receive annual boosters of Rabies, Tetanus, West Nile Virus, and Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis. These vaccines are deemed “core vaccines” by American Association of Equine Practitioners; meaning no matter where your horse lives or what it does, they should receive those vaccines.
• If your horse is exposed to “outside” horses (travel, boarding, training, rodeo, brandings, etc); it is recommended that they ALSO receive vaccination for Equine Influenza (flu) and Equine Herpesvirus 1 and 4 (rhino).
• It is also a great time of year to deworm your horses and check if they need a dental examination/float.

**Call Circle C Vet today to schedule an appointment to ensure your horse is ready for summer!!**

Ever reach in a cow having troubles calving and notice something doesn’t quite feel right?
Dr. Codi Schaper and assistant Rachel Howie delivered these CONJOINED TWIN calves via cesarean section today!
When reaching in, both the producer and Dr. Schaper said they could feel two back legs and a tail (backwards presentation), but despite multiple attempts to manipulate the calf, there was no progression made and the decision to perform a cesarean was in the cow’s best favor.
Quite the interesting case!
