👩🏼⚕️Hi, quick post again from Dr. Emily!
⛈️Due to the inclement weather expected this week, we will be back to ER FOR CURRENT CLIENTS ONLY until Monday Oct 14th. If you have an appointment scheduled early in the week, we will do our very best to get to you. If the weather is bad enough, we will reschedule as soon as possible!
🚨Between Oct 11-13, ALL CLIENT EMERGENCIES will be referred to EMCO, Peterson & Smith, or UF. Dr. Emily will be out of town and unavailable during this time frame for farm calls of any kind. Client phone calls/texts will be answered by Dr. Emily, but please be prepared to haul your horses/animals to referral hospitals if necessary.
📃Please take this time to locate your COGGINS—in case you need to evacuate or take your horses somewhere dry —you may need proof of a negative EIA!
🐴Prepare your barns/farms/horses/livestock for bad weather—have access to at least 2wks of hay & feed, electrolytes, clean water, fly spray, and basic first aid needs for cuts & colics (bandage material, silver spray, banamine or bute)! If you’re staying put, please put ID on your horses and have a plan in place for on-farm care!
🌊Remember that we don’t only worry about the storm itself, but we have to prepare for the aftermath as well. Flooding can wreak havoc on livestock feet and skin especially—try to keep them dry if possible!
☎️CURRENT CLIENTS—If you have questions or concerns this week or during bad weather, please contact Dr. Emily at (386)316-4816. We will be available for MED PICK UP through October 11th at 11am (weather permitting).
👩🏼⚕️Stay safe out there, everyone!
