Did you know that acupuncture can help mediate clinical signs of these diseases? We do recommend traditional therapies in addition to acupuncture but an integrative approach is extremely beneficial to help these horses feel and perform their best!

With each passing year, horses are living longer lives and many survive easily to 25 years of age or older. While this is good news, it also means that we need to be aware of changes that can occur with age in order to preserve the health and quality of life of our equine friends.

For example, Equine Cushing’s disease is one of the most common diseases of horses 15 years of age or older. This syndrome is better defined as Equine Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) because it reflects the location within the brain that is abnormal. Clinical signs are associated with abnormally elevated hormone concentrations in the blood.

Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) is another endocrine disorder that can affect mature horses and shares some of the same clinical signs as PPID. Although the two disorders feature some striking clinical similarities — most notably a predisposition to development of chronic laminitis — the underlying disease biology is quite different in each case. Successful management relies on proper diagnosis by your equine veterinarian first.

Our understanding of both conditions, especially EMS, is incomplete and evolving, but sufficient information is currently available to highlight some important similarities and differences for the interested horse owner. Consult your veterinarian for more information and work with them to develop the best wellness practices to ensure a healthy life for your mature horse.

🐾🫶🐾We are praying for all the families of those lost on 9/11. Including the 4 legged heroes! 🐾🫶🐾

Today, we remember the brave souls of 9/11, including the incredible rescue dogs who worked alongside first responders.

These brave animals worked tirelessly alongside rescue teams, helping to search for survivors and providing comfort to those in need.

Their contributions deserve to be remembered, not just for what they did in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, but for the lasting impact they’ve had on the world of working dogs.

Eggnog received dry needling yesterday for an injury. This sweet rescue is lucky that Dr. Bishop adopted him! He’s well on his way to a better life!
