Friday Fall Care Checklist! 🍂🍁

Fall in Hampton Roads brings a unique set of obstacles for animal owners. A break in the temperature is well received, however it also marks the "wet season" and an increase in biting insects and disease vectors. Make sure your horse is protected against West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis by vaccinating every 6 months.

Fall also marks the prevalence of Hurricane Season. Are you prepared? Make sure you have easy access to your animals medical records, including up to date Coggins results in case you need to evacuate. Also make sure your animal is easily identified: consider a Microchip for permanent identification!

Contact Guardian Equine Veterinary Services today to schedule your horse's fall visit!

For all my cattle people out there: Including 4H kids, be aware of the new changes in tags.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/CdknVb95p2M5tqCZ/?

Starting November 5th, new rules will change how cattle are officially identified. The current metal tags (orange or silver) will no longer be used for official identification. However, cattle with these tags can still use them.
Moving forward, RFID-EID tags (Electronic Identification Devices) will be required for new cattle. These tags have a 15-digit number and help with disease tracking but are not GPS devices. These EID tags can also assist producers with record-keeping when linked to digital tools, tracking information like weight and treatments.

Friday the clinic will close at 3pm. With the Fall Festival gearing up, road closures and the abundance of cars, we usually are not accessible (easily). We will be taking morning appointments that day.
If you need any refills for your pets call today (option 2) so you can pick them up Friday.
