Our doctor will be out of the office some this week to complete some of her continuing education classes, but don't worry our office will still be open for scheduling, tech appointments, and medication pickups. We won't have any doctor appointments available Monday all day, and Tuesday morning, but our staff will still be in the office to take care of things til she's back in the office! ❤️

Friday Giveaway! 🍂🍁🤎🧡

Friday is for the felines! 🐱 Preventative care and vaccines are just as important for our feline friends as they are for our dogs! However, studies show that cats get taken to the vet less often than their canine companions. So we are offering a free feline annual vaccine package! This includes a Rabies vaccination, a FVRCP vaccination, a f***l check, and deworming (if needed)! To enter to win this vaccination package, comment below with a picture of your feline friend, like the post, and share! 🐈

We will be announcing all our winners from this week's giveaways tomorrow! 💛

Thursday Giveaway! 🍂🍁🤎🧡

Today is all about our equine friends! With fall around the corner, many people are getting ready to travel with their equine companions for trail rides, rodeos, and shows! And any horse traveling should have their Coggins test ready to go so today we are giving away a free Coggins test!

Coggins is a blood test that checks for EIA which is an infectious, contagious, deadly disease of horses. There is no cure or prevention so diligent testing helps us keep this under control as it is spread via blood transmission, most through biting flies. In Louisiana, this test is required yearly and all states require it for travel. So to enter to win this service, comment below with a picture of you and your beautiful horses (or ponies or donkeys) and like and share this post. **Note that Coggins testing does require an official form of identification, either a microchip, brand, or tattoo in order for us to send off the test. If your horse does not have one of these, we will need to microchip for ID purposes. 🐎

Again, winners will be announced at the end of the week! So like, comment, share, and follow our page for announcements! 🐴

As we approach the start of fall and the temperatures start to drop, here is some important information to know regarding fall laminitis.

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 equine companion may be at an increased risk, contact your equine veterinarian so that they can properly evaluate your unique situation.

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