Thank you for being such an important part of our clinic family. We wish you a joyful and cozy holiday season of love and cheer!

Happy Halloween from some creepy, crawly friends we discovered in a young horse's mouth this week!

These little munchkins are bot larvae, which go through a life stage in the oral cavity. Did you know that those little yellow eggs on the legs of the horse in the fall can end up in your horse's mouth? The eggs hatch and form these little larvae, which burrow into the gums, tongue or lips. They stay in the mouth for about three weeks before being swallowed. Once in the stomach or small intestine, they attach to the wall of the intestine and form even larger larvae as they stay attached through the winter months. Eventually, in the spring or early summer they will pass through the intestinal tract and get pooped out, where they will eventually turn into bot flies. The way to treat these little buggers is to deworm your horses after a few hard frosts with a dewormer that contains ivermectin or moxidectin. Boo! 👻
