Horse owners be aware: With the onset of winter, the risk of botulism increases, particularly from November to January. Botulism is often associated with contaminated hay and can lead to severe symptoms such as muscle weakness and paralysis. Early diagnosis can be tricky, but it's crucial for successful treatment. If you suspect botulism, seek veterinary care immediately.

At our hospital, we offer treatment with antitoxin, but timing is essential. Don't forget about prevention – ask us about the botulism vaccine, especially if your horses consume round bale hay.

🥕🐴 Choke Prevention Tips 🐴🥕

Choke in horses can often be prevented with proper feeding habits and attention to their diet. Here are a few tips to keep your horse safe this winter:

✅ Soak feed: Moisten pellets, beet pulp, or hay cubes to make them easier to swallow.
✅ Slow feeding: Use a slow feeder or spread out hay to prevent rapid eating.
✅ Dental care: Regular dental check-ups ensure your horse can chew feed properly.
✅ Feed size: Avoid giving large chunks of fruits or vegetables—cut them into smaller pieces.

Preventative care is the best way to protect your equine friend. Schedule your horse’s next wellness check today to keep them healthy and happy all season long!

🚨What is Choke in Horses? 🐴

Choke is a common yet serious condition in horses caused by food or foreign objects becoming lodged in their esophagus. While it’s not the same as choking in humans (since horses can still breathe), it requires immediate attention to prevent complications.

🔍 Signs of choke:

Difficulty swallowing
Coughing or gagging
Excessive drooling
Nasal discharge with feed or saliva

🚑 What to do:

Remove access to food and water.
Keep your horse calm and call your vet right away.
Avoid trying to clear the blockage yourself—it can cause more harm.
Early intervention is key! If you suspect choke, don’t wait. Contact us immediately for expert care.

Our Story

Allegheny Equine Veterinary Service is a full-service equine and large animal veterinary practice based in Elkins, West Virginia. The practice was established in the Fall of 2005 by Dr. Tracy Walker. For ten years the practice has operated exclusively as an ambulatory medical service to Randolph, Barbour, Tucker, Upshur, and Preston Counties in the mountains of West Virginia.

Hospital and Ambulatory Care

Since opening, the practice has offered advanced diagnostics and services that were previously unavailable in the area. In recent years, it became apparent that a haul-in facility was needed and would provide even more opportunities for availability of equine and large animal veterinary care. In May 2015, we opened a 5,000 square foot hospital in Elkins, West Virginia. The practice continues to offer ambulatory care with the addition of enhanced care in a hospital setting.
