Rabies vaccinations - not just for dogs and cats. We recommend yearly rabies vaccinations for horses and livestock too. --- "A horse found near Sullivan and Pearman Dairy roads in Anderson County was submitted to the University of Georgia Veterinary diagnostic laboratory on Wednesday and tested positive for rabies, officials said. Five people were exposed and were referred to their health care providers. The 30 horses and donkeys exposed will be quarantined" https://www.thestate.com/news/local/environment/article290490734.htm

Last year, there were 78 confirmed cases of rabies in South Carolina.

Water remains as important for your horse in cold weather as it is in the summer. As a matter of fact, decreased water consumption in the winter is thought to be the primary inducing factor for impaction colic — although there are other predisposing factors such as poor hay quality, lack of exercise, internal parasites and dental problems.

Impaction colic is essentially constipation and most often includes the accumulation of hard, dry f***l material in the colon. The usual signs of impending impaction colic are depression, a decreased appetite, and decreased production and dryness of manure.

Studies demonstrate that you can increase your horse's winter water consumption if you provide access to heated water, but ONLY if that is the only source of water available. As always, if you have any questions about preventing colic in your horse, your local veterinarian remains your best source of information!

Poinsettias, holly, mistletoe, and evergreens are beautiful and abundant this time of year, but these are all also toxic for animals. Ingestion of these plants can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases, even cardiovascular issues.

Christmas Tree Safety for Your Pet
1. Be sure the tree is securely anchored to avoid pets knocking it over.
2. Be cautious of using tinsel or ribbons as these can cause severe damage to your pet's health if ingested.
3. Keep glass, breakable, and chewable ornaments up high and out of your pet's reach.
4. Sweep up pine needles often to avoid your pet possibly eating them.
5. Block access to the water in the tree stand so that pets are not able to drink the water.

Cooler temperatures do not mean external parasites will go away. Flea and tick preventive measures are needed year-round. The black-legged tick is known to be particularly active during the fall. Trinity Ridge Animal Health is happy to help you keep your pet up-to-date with his/her parasite preventatives. When it’s time to refill, please contact us and allow 24 hours for the prescription to be filled.
