Y’all know I can’t stay away!

Miss Priscilla the goat has been with us for 10 days after a complicated cesarean section. Her “parents” came to visit today, and I couldn’t stay away without some goat snuggles! Please send her healing vibes, too, as she still has a long road to go.

Sending out the warmest welcome to our newest team member, Faith Scott!

Faith is a Franklin native and has been working around horses for most of her life. She competes on her weekends in local barrel racing, and won her 3D division yesterday with her mare, Baby! She loves swimming, hiking, and going on adventures with her Australian shepherd, Kyra. And of course, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. We think she will fit in here just fine!

Faith is coming aboard as a veterinary assistant and this week will be her first week. Please join us in welcoming her to the team!

Fall laminitis refers to cases of laminitis or founder that occur in the autumnal months. Although laminitis can happen in any season, anecdotally there seems to be an uptick in the number of cases in the fall.

Why could this be?

• As the days get shorter and colder, grasses have been shown to respond to this stress with higher sugar concentrations. Diets with higher simple sugar concentrations may increase the risk of laminitis.

• Decreases in exercise may cause increases in body condition. Fat or obese horses are at risk of developing laminitis.

• Horses naturally have increased levels of certain hormones in the fall. If you have a horse with PPID (previously referred to as equine Cushing’s), the increase in their cortisol levels could put them at risk for laminitis.

If you have questions concerning fall laminitis or are concerned that your horse may be at an increased risk, contact your equine veterinarian so that they can properly evaluate your horse's unique situation.

Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

*** edit to add

We will be set up today at 323 Precious Metal Dr. waynesville NC 28785
You will go up the hill and there will be a brick house on the left.

Our Drs will get there around 11am. They will stay there until at least 3:30pm

And then unless things change we will be there 9-4 the rest of this week. We will be able to do outcalls for non-transportable emergencies! If you come by and miss us please leave a note there, or message with Calisa.




We are actively trying to find a stationary location that would allow animals to possibly be hauled in for our care, or at the least, allow us a way to be located to get word to us where we are needed. We have no cell service, power or water at our normal base.

We would also like to help set up a supply drive if we can be connected with anyone else in the area doing so, or if anyone knows of specific needs we can tend. We are here and want to help our community.

For today and likely the next week we will only be able to see emergencies for sick or injured patients. This will be possible only if we can directly communicate road conditions to ensure fuel conservation and safe travel.

Prayers for all affected by the storm. Our communications are still very limited, and there is nothing at the farm. We will still be trying to make all regularly scheduled appointments this week, unless we have heard from you. If you have an emergency, please leave a message. We will be checking messages every 3 hours from 8am til 10pm daily until normal cell service and internet is restored.

"F" IS FOR FALL-CHECKLIST! 🍂🍁

As the cooler weather moves in, now is the time to crack down on housing, nutrition, and preventative health strategies suitable for the arrival of winter.

Check out this list of essential items on the horse owner's fall to-do list, but there is much more that needs to be done—like having your horse's blankets repaired and waterproofed, securing and storing hay properly, assessing your shelters for safety and soundness, etc.

Note that your equine veterinarian is one of your greatest allies this season, so be sure to consult them and discuss vaccination and deworming protocols appropriate for your horse’s situation. This is also a great opportunity to chat about recommended changes in nutrition and exercise programs as well!
