Dentistry is so much more than just “floating teeth”! It all starts with a thorough oral exam where we use a mirror and/or camera to examine each tooth, gums & other surrounding tissues. Blindly floating the teeth without a proper exam will leave painful conditions like periodontal disease unidentified and untreated.

Five. Hours.

That’s how much drive time was saved during an especially busy weekend on call when several of the emergencies were able to haul in to our clinic for treatment.

For our regular patients we do cover emergency farm calls as well, but when the doc is having one of “those” weekends, saving on drive time really helps! If you don’t have a trailer of your own, line up an emergency plan with a friend.

📣 PSA 📣 Keep an eye on your PPID horses with this heat wave!

Lots of ponies already have their fall fuzzies, even though it doesn’t feel like fall! 🥵
PPID often causes trouble with regulating body temperature and sweating, which can cause overheating during a heat wave in the fall when they are fuzzy.

The pony in this video was found “panting” with a temperature of 102F, but a workup from the doc determined that she was not sick, but overheated and recovered quickly with a quick bib clip, some cold hosing, and a fan.

If you find your horse breathing abnormally, call your vet right away. They will be able to triage and determine if the issue is emergent/urgent or if it can wait, and after they examine the horse they can determine if it is caused by fever/infection, a respiratory disorder, or overheating.

Today, one of our clients noticed that their mare was licking her lips more than usual. Upon further inspection, she found these sores hiding on her lips and gums! They were only visible when lifting the lips.

This isn’t an emergency situation, but since the client already had her trailer hooked up and we had a doctor available, she hauled her to the clinic and we were able to get her treated and on her way home within 2 hours of the sores being first spotted! Having the haul in option makes it a lot easier to fit in appointments sooner, and it saves the clients money as well which is a win-win!

With the drought this summer, we expect to see lots of hay with foxtail in it. Keep an eye out for these sneaky plant fibers and if you see it in your hay, don’t feed it! It also helps to routinely check under your horse’s lips to make sure everything looks normal.

🚨We are providing a limited number of discounted PPID tests available this fall! Patients must be previously undiagnosed to qualify for discounted testing. First come first served!🚨
🐴Did you know that 20% of horses over the age of 15 have PPID (also known as Equine Cushing's)? This is a disease that is very important to diagnose and treat, because it can cause many serious symptoms such as laminitis. The key is to catch it when it is in the early stages so that we can prevent the severe symptoms of advanced disease. This means we need to pay attention to subtle symptoms and diagnose early, so if your horse is showing ANY of the following signs, set up an appointment to have them tested!
-Loss of topline muscle
-Delayed shedding compared to previous years, even if they fully shed eventually
-Retaining long hairs on legs, throatlatch and underside of neck
-Weight loss or weight gain
-Decreased performance
-Decreased immune system and delayed healing
-Repeated infection (hoof abscesses, tooth root abscesses)
-Repeated corneal ulcers
-Increased mammary gland secretions
-Cresty neck and fat pads
-Tendon and suspensory inflammation or laxity
-Infertility
-Change in attitude/lethargy
-Increased or decreased sweating
-Increased drinking or urination
-Laminitis
-In late stages, long curly non-shedding haircoat

Did you miss our Gastroscopy Day?
We are running a Fall special offering 10% off Gastroscopy now through October 31st. This procedure can be performed in our clinic or on your farm. Take advantage of this discount to check for stomach ulcers and make sure your horse is feeling their best during this beautiful fall riding weather!

Did you know...
Research shows that horse owners who think their horse has ulcers are usually right ✅️ These are the horses with classic signs like girthiness, unwilling to work, and off feed.
However, those who think their horses DON'T have ulcers are wrong ❌️ more often than not! Horses are stoic creatures who often hide their pain.

Gastric ulcers are a painful condition that affects both wellbeing and performance, and gastroscopy is the only way to accurately diagnose the condition. There are different types of ulcers that require different types of treatment, so starting meds without a diagnosis can be a waste of money. Most gut supplements don't work for preventing or treating ulcers- we scope horses all the time that are on various ulcer supplements, and sometimes the ulcers are very severe! Spend your money wisely and get the right diagnosis, so you can treat with the right medication, and make sure your horse feels better 😃
