Tech Tip Tuesday!

With the warm weather lately, we wanted to give a few tips to help prevent emergencies.

💦It is always important to keep fresh water available at all times. Keeping your horse hydrated is important all year round but especially during these summer months.
🍀Having electrolytes in your first aid kit would be a great item especially if you are trail riding, doing 4-H events, going to a show etc. You can purchase electrolytes in a powder to add to water buckets or in a paste.
💨Fans are a great tool to help keep horses cool. Be sure to secure fans in a safe location and out of reach of your horses.
🧊Travel tip: add a bag of ice to the floor of your trailer when hauling in the heat of the day to cool the temperature inside the trailer.
✂Clipping horses with longer hair can help keep them cooler. Sometimes a bath will help release the hair as well as brushing.
⛅You may choose to change your turn out times to the early mornings or night time when the sun is down.
🐴Make sure when your horses are stalled, that you provide adequate ventilation and airflow through the barn.
🍎Offer frozen treats! Freezing some apple slices in a bowl of water with a rope, for example, would be a fun treat to hang in your horse's stall during the heat of the day.

If you have any questions about how to help protect your horses from the heat, please don't hesitate to give us a call!

Tech Tip Tuesday!

Our tip today is about Strangles!

You may have heard of Strangles before. It is caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus equi equi. It causes the lymph nodes to abscess and become inflamed. You may see fever, cough, nasal discharge, swollen lymph nodes in the jaw/throat and difficulty swallowing. There is a vaccine available to help prevent Strangles. Horses that are around lots of other horses and travel a lot are at the highest risk and are recommended to be vaccinated with an intranasal vaccine.

We recommend quarantining any new horses for 30 days before bringing them to your barn with other horses in case of infection. In most cases, horses will recover from a bout with strangles but in some cases, it can be deadly. The main complications are pneumonia and asphyxiation when the lymph nodes become so enlarged that they cut off the airway.

Call us today if you would like a strangles vaccine for your horse!

Tech Tip Tuesday!

We all know how easily and frequently horses seem to cut themselves!
In the event your horse cuts their lower leg, particularly around a joint, they may need a Regional Limb Perfusion.
What is that?!

A regional limb perfusion is a procedure we can perform which allows an antibiotic to be concentrated to the affected leg in order to deliver the medications needed for intense healing and treat potential infection.
The first step is to sedate the horse. This allows us to offer pain medication and keep the horse still while we apply the tourniquet above the affected area. The tourniquet keeps the antibiotic in the lower part of the leg as it is injected into the vein of choice below the tourniquet depending on where the wound is located. The tourniquet is then left in place for no longer than 30 minutes to allow the medicine to work. Once the time is up, the tourniquet is removed and a bandage can be applied to the leg. This can be repeated for several days if needed.

Pretty neat procedure but let's hope we don't have to perform it for any wounds you may have!
