The weather is perfect for a long ride but your horse may not be. More than 60% of equine lameness is related to equine osteoarthritis and affects horses of any age. It can progress without obvious signs before permanent damage happens. If you suspect your horse suffers from joint pain, call us today.
Equine asthma often flares up during the summer months. Coughing, labored breathing, airway noise, and tracheal rattle are all indicators of equine asthma. If your horse has a consistent cough or if he/she shows any of the signs listed above give us a call.
PPID was once believed to be only an old horse disease but horses as young as five years old have been diagnosed. Early diagnosis is key, so tell us if you suspect your horse is showing signs of PPID.
Warmer weather means parasite eggs are starting to hatch and develop into infective larvae. We can help tailor a parasite control program to your horse's needs. Call us today and ask about our fecal egg count program!
Equine colic can hit in summer too. Impaction colic can happen when horses get dehydrated combined with dry hay or pasture. Make sure your horse has access to plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. If you see signs of colic, call us immediately.
