It's Feline Friday!

BG hates closed-door meetings; he feels he should be allowed to attend all meetings and events. He is polite about it tho, and waits quietly like this until the door is open. 🤣

We get calls for swollen sheath's quite often. Do you know what causes swollen sheaths in Geldings? Have you ever had to deal with a swollen sheath?

A swollen sheath is a common concern among horse owners, and of course it can be concerning to see a large cantaloupe where you expected to see a normal sheath. Causes for a benign swollen sheath include a decrease in exercise or a fat deposit. Horses that aren’t moving as much as the temperature drops may develop swollen sheaths as fluid accumulates and isn’t moved out with exercise. Also, horses that are overweight or have inappropriate fat deposition (as in diseases such as Cushing’s) can have fat deposition in their sheath. Another cause of a swollen sheath can be due to irritation of the sheath. Sources of irritation could be accumulation of sm**ma, a bug bite, or generalized skin allergies. Because sm**ma accumulation can cause irritation it is important to have your horse’s sheath cleaned and examined at least once a year. Treatments for a swollen sheath include forced exercise (lunging), poulticing, and cold hosing. Medications your veterinarian may prescribe for excessive swelling include steroids, a diuretic or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory to reduce the swelling. In conclusion, swollen sheaths are quite common, and if you are concerned we are happy to examine and clean them.

Last night was the Great Lakes Equine Annual Christmas Party! Dr. Rob and his wife Mary opened up their home so we could have a pot luck dinner, do our secret Santa reveal/gift exchange and play games. A fun evening was had by all. Here's a picture of the secret Santa gift exchange. Missing from the picture, Dr. Liz, Dr. Kelly and also Dr. Abby who was on call and handling emergencies.

It's Feline Friday!

BG received mail the other day. As you can see he loves getting mail. Here he is opening it up (Heather helped, since he's all thumbs), and loved what he received! The shinny fluffy balls are MIA, have not seen them since day 2, but, I'm sure he will find them again in time!

BG playing Cat and Mouse!

It’s Feline Friday! BG says thanks Heather for letting me play cat and mouse on your computer! Sure helps pass the time on gloomy winter days!

BG in trouble

It’s Feline Friday! Ok BG, this is what happens when you go into areas you should not be in, like the electrical closet where the litter box cleaning bags are located. Lesson learned hopefully.

BG through the years

It’s Feline Friday! Here’s our one and only BG through the years! Don’t tell him but he has really aged! Not a young kiddo anymore!

It’s Feline Friday! BG says, when your personal water glass gets accidentally blocked, you have to get cat creative

BG Helping

It’s Feline Friday! When our intern Dr. Kelly is practicing new suturing techniques BG is more than happy to critique and lend a paw when needed.

It’s Feline Friday! The word on the street is that BG is lazy. He said he wants to prove everyone wrong. Please note that since this 5 minutes of activity this morning he has been sleeping ever since.

BG Mouse Watching

It’s Feline Friday! With all the gloomy weather this week BG needed some phone time to lift his spirits! Thanks Heather for letting him borrow your phone. Nothing like a little cat and mouse to help get through this Friday. What does everyone think, should BG get his own phone?

It’s Feline Friday!! I know quite a few think BG is a big help at the clinic but as you can see that is not always the case! Projects tend to take a little longer than expected when he feels he needs to help!!

It’s Feline Friday! BG says “Top of the morn’ to you!”. BG survived the photo shoot dispute its lack of success. Because of budget constraints we were unable to acquire gold coins so he was a bit crabby using silver ones. Just can’t please the boy!

It’s Feline Friday! BG received a puzzle treat dispenser from a group of his fans. He’s one smart cookie, this video is right after he opened his gift!

BG treats

It's Feline Friday! BG is not a happy camper this week, we have been so busy he has not been able to get many treats so he decided to take matters in to his own paw and find the hidden treats!
