🐾🌟 April is National Heartworm Awareness Month! 🌟🐾

Did you know that heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects our beloved furry friends? 🐶❤️

Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites and can infect dogs, cats, and other mammals. It take only one bite to infect your pet. Prevention is key in keeping our pets safe and healthy!

Here are a few tips to protect your furry family members:

1️⃣ Ensure your pets are on a regular heartworm prevention program prescribed by your veterinarian.
2️⃣ Keep your pets indoors during peak mosquito times, usually dawn and dusk.
3️⃣ Schedule regular check-ups with your vet to monitor your pet's health with yearly heartworm tests and discuss heartworm prevention.

Spread the word and help raise awareness about the importance of heartworm prevention! Together, we can keep our pets happy and healthy for years to come. 🐾💖

As the snow begins to melt and monsoon season will soon be upon us, Thrush is something we all need to be on the lookout for. Check out this article for some tips and tricks in controlling thrush in horses. .

👉 What is Equine Thrush?

Thrush is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the frog of the hoof. It thrives in moist, dirty environments and can cause discomfort and lameness if left untreated. Recognizing the signs early is crucial for effective treatment.

🔍 Signs of Equine Thrush:

Foul odor emanating from the hoof
Black, tar-like discharge in the frog clefts
Softening and deterioration of the frog tissue
Reluctance to bear weight on the affected hoof

🛠️ Treating Equine Thrush:

~ Cleanliness is Key: Regularly clean your horse's hooves, paying particular attention to removing dirt and debris from the frog area.
~Keep Hooves Dry: Ensure your horse's living environment is clean and dry, minimizing the risk of bacterial growth.
~Topical Treatments: There are various over-the-counter thrush treatments available, such as antifungal and antibacterial hoof products. Consult with your veterinarian to find the most suitable option for your horse.
~ Proper Hoof Trimming: Regular farrier visits are essential for maintaining hoof health. Trimming away excess frog tissue can aid in treating and preventing thrush.

Thrush in horses can cause chronic foot problems and lameness unless treated.
