🚨 Calling All Horse Owners, Trainers, and Equine Vets! 🐴☀️

We need YOUR help with a research survey on equine anhidrosis – a condition where horses are unable to sweat normally, putting them at risk.

This survey is part of the Master of Science research of Lindsey Bailey (DVM Candidate, Long Island University – Lewyt College of Veterinary Medicine), under the mentorship of Dr. Laura Patterson Rosa, Associate Professor of Equine Medicine.

✅ Open to all horse owners, trainers, managers, and veterinarians
✅ Takes only 10–15 minutes
✅ Responses are anonymous & confidential
✅ Whether or not your horses are affected, your input is valuable!

👉 Take the survey here: https://baseline.campuslabs.com/liu/equineanhidrosissurvey2025

📌 Please share this post with your equine community and help us spread the word. Together, we can advance research and improve care for horses affected by this condition.

Thank you for supporting equine health research!

A study published in the Journal of Internal Veterinary Medicine has found that long-term use of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug firocoxib has no negative effects on horses.

Another reminder to keep your horse's vaccinations up to date. The original post does an excellent job explaining everything about tetanus. If you have more questions that they have not answered, I will answer them to the best of my ability.

This is another case of someone injecting banamine into what was supposed to be the muscular triangle of the neck. Either way, this horse ended up with Clostridium causing gangrene. The only treatment is to open the tissues up to the air with a procedure called a fasciotomy. Banamine otherwise known as flunixin meglumine should never be injected into the muscle, even though the label instructs you to give it intramuscular (IM) or intravenously (IV). This is a rare occurrence, but do you really want to risk, loss of life, loss of future performance, down time for this to heal, let alone have the vet bills? I know you don't, especially when another way is available. Either give it IV if you have been trained how to do this with out hitting an artery, because that is another trainwreck, causing seizures in the horse and any damage from going down in such a violent way. Or use the same injectable dosage and without using a needle on your syringe, just so you don't loose any on the ground, sq**rt about 3 mls in the mouth at 1 minute intervals until the entire dosage has been administered.

Over 60% of owners indicated that they would pay $5,000 or less for emergency colic surgery. This is notable because the actual cost for colic surgery and aftercare can far exceed $5,000, depending on the severity. As a result, many horse owners may face a stark financial hurdle if their horse develops a life-threatening colic: https://bit.ly/3Yr5isi

Always vaccinate your horse for rabies. It is a cheap vaccination and can save your horse's life as well as human lives.

1,450lbs. I'm just waiting for the hooves to fall off from laminitis.

Post Malone is now the proud owner of a 1,450-pound horse, which he recently purchased from a company based in Amarillo, Texas.

Pure obesity. This is like making a video of my love handles, lol. If your horse has a rain gutter over their spine or a peach butt, they are too fat.
