Anhidrosis is defined as a decreased ability to sweat in response to increased body temperature. Due to the inability to cool themselves off, many non-sweaters will have a rapid respiratory rate and struggle to maintain normal body temperatures when exercising. Anhidrosis is more commonly noted in hot, humid climates, which is why we find so many horses with the condition in Texas. Some treatment options include supplements, dark beer, and misting fans; however, acupuncture seems to be the best treatment option when used early in the disease process.

Annual dental exams are so important to the longevity of our horses. Older horses with poorly maintained teeth are prone to colic, choke, weight loss, and dropping feed. Let’s stop the problem before it ever occurs with maintenance from the beginning. What can you expect with our dentals? Light sedation with some pain medication included, no contraptions restricting your horses head or body movements, gentle use of power tools, and lots of love because we know dentist visits can be scary even for us!

Colics for days with this heat and humidity! Special thanks to Mo Mason for the arm work out and group effort tonight. Royalty Equine, LLC is so proud of the people on our team. If you have had the chance to meet Mo, you know just how much she cares. The horse pictured headed off for overnight ICU management after some fluid therapy to stabilize for transport.

EMERGENCY SERVICES!!! We will only be providing after hours emergency services to established clients. If you would like to be an established client, please schedule an appointment for an exam during our regular hours. We did not make this decision lightly, but we found this to be the best solution for our safety at night.

Oral foreign body 🌳 Do you know the signs to watch for if your horse has something stuck in its mouth? Excessive drooling, tongue and jaw manipulation, not eating, or exterior swelling can all be symptoms! Sticks and wire are common offenders usually picked up from the pasture. Thankfully this handsome boy’s owner knew what happened and called for immediate care!

Let’s talk about vaccines! This is one of my most commonly discussed topics during visits. 💉

1) What’s the difference between core and risk based vaccinations? Core vaccines are recommended by the American Association of Equine Practioners based on diseases that fit into one or more categories within a region: high enough public health risk, required by law, highly infectious, or risk of severe disease. Risk based vaccines are added to a core vaccination protocol when the animal is at risk of exposure to the diseases in question due to the region it lives in or radius it travels.

2) What are the core vaccines? Mosquito borne diseases: Eastern and Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, West Nile Virus, and in Texas we consider Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis core due to our proximity to Mexico; Tetanus and Rabies are also core, but not spread by mosquitoes. We offer one vaccine that protects against all of these dangerous diseases!

3) What are the risk based vaccines? There are several! We offer Equine Herpes Virus (rhinopneumonitis), Equine Influenza, and intranasal Strangles vaccination to any customers hauling frequently or patients in contact with horses that haul frequently.

4) How often should we be vaccinating? The current recommendation is annual for all diseases except the above mentioned mosquito borne diseases. Since we live in Texas, mosquito season is almost year-round and vaccines should be repeated every 6 months to limit disease transmission.

Check out the AAEP website for vaccine guidelines and disease discussion:

These guidelines are intended to be a reference for veterinarians who utilize vaccines in their respective practices. They are neither regulations nor directives and should not be interpreted as such.

Loop, swoop, and pull! 🪡
Lacerations can be scary for both owners and horses! Having the wound inspected as early as possible can be critical to successful healing. Thankfully this horse was treated in a timely manner and is expected to make a full recovery. Posted with owner’s permission.
