🇺🇸 HOLIDAY WEEK REMINDERS 🇺🇸

A fun tradition for many, 4th of July fireworks can sometimes be unsettling for horses 🎆. If your equine friends are particularly reactive, here are our top tips to manage their stress during the holiday week:

💥 If you live in a very active firework area and regularly turn your horses out overnight, try keeping them in the barn with friends around for comfort

💥 While they're in and during active fireworks, keep the fans and/ or music on to buffer the sounds

💥 Make sure they have plenty of hay to stay busy and distracted from the booms and light changes

If you have specific concerns about your horse or need to discuss sedation options, reach out to connect with your veterinarian.

🇺🇸 Please note that our office is CLOSED on Friday, July 4. As always, we are available for emergencies.

🇺🇸 If you are an online pharmacy customer, be aware that the last day to place orders this week for arrival before the weekend is EOB on July 2. Our vendors have limited hours July 3-5.

Wishing a safe and happy holiday week to all!

: Medication Edition (altrenogest's / Regu-Mate's version)

💡 Did you know? Altrenogest (otherwise known as Regu-Mate) can become less effective—and even unsafe—if not handled properly. Here are our team's tips to get it right:

🧴 Don't expose it to light – light degrades the medication and decreases efficacy. Keep it in its original, light-protective container. There's a reason that bottle is dark!

🥣 Avoid mixing into grain – it won't absorb properly. Dose directly instead!

💉 Use a syringe to administer directly into the horse’s mouth for accurate dosing and effectiveness.

🧤 Wear gloves – this hormone can be absorbed through the skin and has the potential for adverse health effects.

We're sharing these tips to ensure your horse is getting the most from her medications, if you have any questions about proper administration of altrenogest or another medication, be sure to chat with our team!

: Medication Edition 💊

If your horse or donkey is on Prascend this one's for you!

👉 Make sure you keep the tablet in the foil blister pack until you’re ready to give it.

You can still feed the pill atop your horse's normal grain ration, feed it by hand, tuck it into a treat, or dose it via syringe - but make sure that pill stays tucked away as long as possible before you dole it out!

⚕Why? Exposure to air will cause Prascend tablets to oxidize which reduces their efficacy.

👉 Pro tip: if your horse or donkey is on a half tab dose you can safely store your unused half in a jar or old medication container with a silica packet (the little packets labeled “Do Not Eat” that you often find in pill bottles, shoeboxes, or packaging—they absorb moisture to keep products dry.)

Make sure you're not wasting your money and effort when managing your horse's PPID/ cushings- keep your Prascend out of air and light for maximum efficacy ✨

Heat wave's here! 🔥🌊☀️

Check out our team's recs to keep your horse cool & hydrated:

💧Provide access to plenty of clean water. Check water levels regularly as it's a good way to monitor water intake & refresh the water supply.

⛱Make sure horses in turnout have access to shade so they can escape the direct heat of the sun. Fly sheets with UV protection can provide some relief as well without adding any heat for the wearer

🧊Offer electrolytes or free-choice salt to encourage drinking. You can also soak your horse's normal feed ration to "force" some additional water intake.

💨Airflow is key for stabled horses. Open doors/ windows and utilize fans whenever possible, but be sure that wires are not causing additional hazards and that they cannot be reached by mouthy horses!

🐎Try to ride during the coolest hours of the day, early in the morning or late in the evening. If it's unavoidable, keep your mid-day rides short (about 20 minutes or so).

🧽Post-ride, help your horse cool down quickly by hosing his neck & chest first with cool water. Then hose the whole body, sweat scrape, and hose again. 👀 A recently published study found the quickest way to cool down a hot horse was continued application of cold water to the body for 2 continuous minutes 👀

⚠️Keep an eye out for symptoms of heat stress and contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice:
-Labored breathing or rapid respiratory rate
-Above normal temperature at rest
-Unusual sweating (too much or too little)
-Decreased appetite

🚨 Strangles Cases Confirmed in Our Region 🚨

Our team has been made aware of confirmed strangles cases locally. This highly contagious disease can spread quickly—please take precautions to protect your horse & others:

⚠️ Know the signs: fever, thick nasal discharge, swollen lymph nodes, coughing, loss of appetite.

🚫 Limit exposure: avoid barns or events with confirmed cases.

🏠 Plan ahead: have a quarantine stall ready for your barn's new arrivals or horses that present with symptoms.

🐴 Avoid nose-to-nose contact: strangles spreads easily through direct contact and shared equipment. Avoid this if possible, especially when traveling!

💉 Vaccinate if recommended by your vet—it's an important layer of defense.

If your horse stops acting like him or herself or you have any concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us at 845-677-5500
