Teamwork makes the diagnostic dream work 🙌

Here Dr. Mich Ferraro, Dr. Kari Searls and Dr. Eve Donoghue are getting a detailed image of the horse's lower limb through ultrasound. These non-invasive scans are one of our go-to diagnostic tools as they provide great information about soft tissue structures and help paint a clear picture of how we can help your horse.

Oof! It's smokey out there. Our hearts go out to those affected by the fires in Great Barrington, MA.

The smoke we and our horses are inhaling isn't exactly a walk in the park. Wildfire smoke contains very tiny particulate matter, or PM2.5 -- the tiniest pollutant yet also the most dangerous.

When inhaled, the particulate matter can travel deep into lung tissue and enter the bloodstream. Because it gets so deep into the lungs, it can also take quite some time to clear out.

Our recommendation is to be considerate of exercise for your horse in these conditions. The Millbrook, NY area is predicted to have an Air Quality Index well over 100 for much of Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Be especially considerate of those horses with known respiratory allergies, heaves, COPD, or similar.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian with any concerns. Our team is also happy to discuss level and timing of exercise as the smoke dissipates.

Stay safe out there, everyone!🐴❤️

Going somewhere 🐴 ➡ 🚌 ? You may need a health certificate!

🚌 A health certificate or CVI is a document required for interstate travel. They are sometimes for required for intrastate travel, sometimes required by specific facilities, and almost always required by commercial haulers.

🐴 Your CVI ensures that your horse has been recently evaluated by a veterinarian and had no obvious signs of illness at the time of evaluation, they are typically valid for 30 days.

❤ CVIs are tremendously helpful in reducing disease spread from one horse to another. If you're headed south for the winter, or otherwise moving your horse across state lines please give us a call to schedule health cert appointments well in advance of your travel dates!

👇Here's a handy checklist of what goes on a CVI, we'll need some of this info from you to prepare yours 👇
🏠Place of Origin: Contact name, location, phone, email
🏠Destination Information: Point of contact, location, phone, email
👩‍⚕️Veterinarian Information: Name, Clinic, Accreditation Number, Address
🐴 Horse's identifiable factors: Breed, s*x, color, age, permanent identification (microchip, tattoo)

⏳Now's the time!

Don't forget to light your early foaling mares & mares that you're planning to breed in the early part of 2025.

An effective lighting program lasts for 60 days, and involves providing your mare with 16 hours of daylight each day.

Days are short right now! But you've got options to make it happen:
💡Keepmares outside during daylight hours
💡Provide light in the mare's stall from 4pm to 11pm each day to supplement natural light. Remember the light should be bright enough to read by - a 100 watt bulb is sufficient for a 12x12 stall, or use Equilume products!
💡Outfitting your mare with an Equilume mask if she lives outside 24/7.

Lighting programs for broodmares help tremendously when breeding early in the season as they encourage mares to begin cycling mid-February through mid-March.

You can purchase your Equilume Belfield Light Mask (specifically designed for breeding) through our online pharmacy here: https://pharmacy.millbrookequine.com/products/equilume-belfield-light-mask?_pos=1&_sid=05f63cb14&_ss=r

Happy lighting 💡

Could it be time for a botulism vaccine?

If your horse eats hay from a round bale this time of year and hasn't had a booster in the last 12 months, the answer is YES.

"Clostridium botulinum" bacteria are widespread in soil, bird droppings, and decaying animal carcasses. These spores can remain inactive for long periods of time, but with the proper conditions of moisture and minimal oxygen levels, they can activate and become dangerous for your horse upon ingestion. If moisture conditions in the center of a round bale are just right that round bale can become an ideal activation site for these potentially dangerous spores.

Botulism can kill your horse within 24 hours, but there are MANY easy ways to mitigate your horse's risk, including vaccination!

The initial course of this vaccine is three single vaccines given 3-4 weeks apart, followed by an annual booster. Is it time for your horse to start the botulism vaccine or get a quick booster? Give us a call to schedule if so 📱!

🍂It's been a dry autumn, and we're saying farewell to lush green pasture. That may impact your horse's Vitamin E levels👇

🌱Vitamin E functions as a biological antioxidant that maintains normal neuromuscular function in horses. Horses naturally obtain sufficient amounts of Vitamin E when they graze on lush green pastures for 8+ hours daily, which might not be realistic year-round given your horse’s lifestyle, the changing seasons, or this exceptionally dry autumn we are having.

🌱Vitamin E deficiencies can cause a variety of equine diseases including equine neuroaxonal dystrophy in young horses or equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy, and Vitamin E deficient myopathy or equine motor neuron disease in adult horses.

🌱It’s important to note that not all Vitamin E deficient horses will become symptomatic of these diseases, but they are easy to prevent with adequate supplementation.

🌱You can combat deficiencies with bioavailable supplementation! There are a number of powdered and water-soluble supplements available to increase Vitamin E levels.

👉 Be sure to chat with our team of vets to determine which one will be the most appropriate for your horse! A simple blood test is available to establish a baseline for your horse, too.

Did you know that horses given warmed water drink 40% more water than horses whose buckets are near freezing? Keeping horses hydrated in freezing temps isn’t always easy! Here are our team’s top tips to keep your horse’s gut motility and overall health supported this season: 💧Add some electrolytes to their regular feed ration to help encourage water intake 💧Feed a warm water mash. You can do this easily by adding warm water to their regular feed ration. We recommend adding enough warm water to submerge the feed fully, then waiting 5-10 minutes (depending on what specific type of feed you are working with) You'll want to wait for the feed to fully expand in the water, then add some more warm water to top off before feeding so it's nice and soupy. You can also offer soaked forage such as hay pellets or cubes to encourage hydration. 💧Try offering warm water around feeding times, when your horse comes inside from turnout, or directly after exercise. Stay warm out there! #millbrookequine #equinevetlife #horsekeeping #horsecaretips #horsecare #equinewellness
