Tech Tip Tuesday!

Our next piece of equipment to showcase this week is our ultrasound! We use it quite a bit during the spring but also year round! This time of year, we use it for reproductive purposes to look at a mare's uterus, ovaries, measure follicle size and determine ovulation for breeding. We can also use the ultrasound with the help of a different probe attachments to look at tendons, lungs and abdomens.

Today's equipment showcase is our gastroscope!

We use this special scope to look at the upper gastrointestinal tract of horses. The gastroscope is the only way to definitively diagnose gastric/stomach ulcers! We also use it to look at the esophagus and back of the throat. For this procedure, the horse is fasted overnight so the stomach is empty. Upon arrival, they are given a small amount of sedation and placed in the stocks. First, the scope is placed in the horse's nostril, it is then fed down to where it can be swallowed into the esophagus and further to the stomach from there. We can also look for tumors, impactions and parasites such as bots. Our gastroscope has the capability to hook up to a laptop so we can easily view the entire procedure. It also has air flow, a bright light source and water capabilities to help us inflate the stomach and wash the camera to make sure we get good visuals of the GI tract. After we are done looking at the stomach, we let the air out and carefully take the scope out.

If you think your horse might have ulcers and you'd like a gastroscope procedure performed, give us a call!

For the next several weeks we will spend our Tech Tip Tuesdays discussing some of our equipment!

This week we would like to showcase the Digatherm!

This is a thermal camera that helps us isolate temperature differences in the whole body. A series of pictures is taken of the horse and then with a simple change of the color scheme, we are able to detect heat in a certain location which indicates inflammation OR can also detect a colder area possibly indicating a lack of blood flow. This has been such a wonderful tool especially since it is completely harmless/non-invasive to the horse! If we can locate pain/heat/inflammation or lack of blood flow to a certain body part, we can then do further treatments or diagnostics to help the horse.

If your horse has been having some lameness or seems sore in certain area, give us a call and we can schedule you a digatherm appointment!

It may be too cold to ride lately BUT warmer weather is around the corner!

Are you looking for a new horse/riding buddy this summer? It is important to have a pre-purchase exam performed before committing to your new partner! The PPE includes a full physical examination from nose to tail and a flex/jog. Beyond that, we can absolutely do xrays to check any joints as well as any requested bloodwork etc. We can tailor the exam to your needs! Purchasing without a PPE can be risky as our diagnostics and Dr. Staley's expertise can give you a better idea of the overall health of the horse and any potential problems they may be having.
Dr. Staley would love to see your potential new horse today! 🐎
Call the office today to set up an appointment!

Tech Tip Tuesday!

BOTS! Oh my!

Have you heard of bots? Bots are in internal parasite in horses that are about the size of a penny. They are typically reddish in color and like to live in the horse's stomach and small intestine. They can interfere with eating and the horse absorbing proper nutrition. They are not typically seen in the stool but can be if they have died and detached from the intestinal lining. The bot flies are typically laying eggs in August and September but can continue until frost occurs. The flies attach the nits to the hairs on horse's front legs. You may have seen them before on your horses. Once in the stomach and intestines, they can live for up to 7 months. Bots can also be seen on gastroscope images!

Certain dewormers will take care of bots. Please give us a call to see what product is best for your horse based on age, health conditions, previous deworming history and worm burden.

You can see in this picture, there are 2 that have come out in the stool.

Have you heard of ProStride?!

This is one of many services we still offer here at Stone Ridge!
Pro Stride is a special, two-step process for joint injections that we often perform for horses with arthritis. The kit pictured below with special tubes is combined with a special process of pulling blood from the horse. The next step is separating it in the centrifuge in order to inject the horse's own anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties back into the joint! Depending on the joints, we can even treat several joints with one Pro Stride treatment!

Call us today if your horse needs joint injections and we can talk about Pro Stride as an option!

Tech Tip Tuesday!

This is our last foaling post for the month! (Let us know if you want to see more foaling/reproduction type posts or if you have a topic you'd like us to discuss!)

Did you know that there are many foaling emergencies but that one of them can be particularly deadly in a matter of minutes? A "red bag" presentation is a very serious foaling complication where the placenta detaches prematurely and the foal can suffocate in a matter of minutes if not delivered. The placenta is providing oxygen to the foal until delivery but if it has detached before the foal is out, the foal is not receiving oxygen.

Normal deliveries will present with a white colored "bag" first that usually includes the front feet followed shortly by the foal's nose. When this doesn't go as planned and a red bag is presented, we must work quickly to get the foal out. The red bag coming out will likely have a lighter/white colored cervical star that must be cut with a sharp knife or scalpel blade and then the foal can be delivered with assistance most likely.

Causes for "red bag" include malpresentation where the foal's head or legs are not in the proper position, fescue toxicity, a physical defect in the foal such as Schistosomus Reflux or having a foal that is too large for the mare for example.

If you are foaling at your house, have the knowledge to know what to do in this emergency situation and be able to act quickly with the proper tools close by.

Winter essentials: coffee and... salt?

While coffee may not be their cup of tea, adding a little salt to their feed can encourage hydration. Just 1-2 tablespoons a day for non-working horses can do the trick! Don't forget to adjust electrolytes for horses in heavy work to ensure their needs are met. 🐴❄️☕️

Foal Friday!

Our next baby is owned by Jessica Mischler! This little guy is active!!!! He is out of Little Mollys Charm and Fiestas Gotta Gun.

He has been outnumbered by the fillies this year but he's a cutie-pie!💙

BRRRRR! This cold weather is for the birds!

Did you know you could really help your horse by doing 1 simple change to their feeding routine?

Adding some warm water to their grain can help increase water intake AND help prevent choke. In the winter time, horses tend to drink less which sets them up for potential cases of colic. Adding warm water to their grain bucket can be very beneficial!

Tech Tip Tuesday!

Continuing our foaling topics....

Did you know that each foaling delivery has a hippomane?!
What is that?!
A hippomane is a piece of tissue the size of your palm/hand that is made up of cells and waste products from the foal. It is very rubbery and typically brown or tan/greenish colored. Each one is unique and looks a little different.

We enjoy finding the hippomane after every delivery!
