Can you solve this case? 🩺

🐴 Patient: 10 year old Standard Donkey jack who is up to date with the core vaccines and a current negative Coggins test. He is being fed a mainly forage diet from a round bale with a ration balancer.

❗Owner noticed that the Jack has been laying down more often for longer, drooling, not hungry, and when he does eat he drops food. The owner notes that he seems to be weaker and can't do things that he used to do (i.e. exercise, etc.).

What would be on your list of differentials for the diagnosis of this case? 🤔

** This is a hypothetical case for learning purposes only. **

❗Here is a quick overview of medications we use for equine pain management for owners. It is best to always discuss which medication is best for specific situations with your veterinarian as these are not always hard and fast rules.

♦️A specific thing to take away from this post is the length of time it takes for the individual medications to take affect.

🚨Please note: This is not all inclusive as sometimes we, as veterinarians, utilize these medications in different aspects than noted on this post.

The year 2025 is here! 🥳

First things to think about when it comes to your equine friends health this year is what vaccines you need to do. Hopefully this document of our recommended vaccinations will make it a little easier for you to decide what vaccines are necessary. 🐴

❗Risk factors to think about:
- Is your horse eating from a round bale? If so, BotVax would be a recommended vaccine to avoid Botulism. See document for protocol on timing.
- Do you show, keep your horses at a boarding barn, or have your horses go around a lot of horses? If so, Rhino/Flu is recommended to help minimize respiratory disease. See document for protocol on timing.

If you have any questions please give us a call at 570-534-4612. ☎

🚨Attention horse owners, specifically Quarter Horse owners:

Myosin-Heavy Chain Myopathy (MYHM) is a fairly new genetic muscle disease that has been found within the Quarter Horse population. The typical 5-panel genetic testing does not include MYHM. If you are looking into purchasing a horse (Quarter Horses specifically), it may be a good idea to check their genetic status via a 6-panel genetic test. 🐎

💻Below you will find a very good round up of information on MYHM if you are curious about it provided by the American Quarter Horse Association.

Give us a call if you would like to run genetic panels on your horses. ☎️

❗Please note that some Quarter Horses have it done already (depending on age) and can be found on the backside of their registration papers if it has been documented with the AQHA.

🚨Attention: CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA IS DEFICIENT IN VITAMIN E 🚨

We have been seeing a lot of cases of low vit E throughout our clinic. Testing can be beneficial if you are concerned that your horse may be experiencing clinical signs that are associated with low vit E. 💉

🐴Supplementation cannot hurt. Any excess will be excreted via urine. With that being said, SELENIUM CAN BE TOXIC so we suggest only supplementing vit E, unless you test for selenium in addition to vit E levels.

Special thanks to Kentucky Performance Products for this informative infographic on vit E deficiency in horses. 📈

❕❕NOTICE!!❕❕

Please bear with us as we are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our phone system. We are currently working to resolve these issues!

Just a reminder that all horses should be dewormed with a pyrantel or a praziquantel product to target tapeworms "after the first hard frost."
❄🥶❄
With the varying weather this "first hard frost" timeframe has varied but regardless please keep this in mind and treat your equine friends appropriately.

November 13th is World Kindness Day... Please remember to be kind to everyone! Including your veterinary team, from support staff to vets! A little kindness goes a long way!

📚EEFAC has had a long history of mentoring students to help them accomplish their goals. The majority of our associate vets started off as students shadowing Dr. Marlo!

This is Gradie! She is a senior in high school who will be with us in the afternoons this year as part of her work study program. Gradie plans to become a farrier and is looking into the the dynamics between veterinary medicine and farrier work during her time with us. 🐎
