DID YOU KNOW?

Strangles was one of the first equine diseases to be described by the early writers of veterinary science (was first reported in 1215) and is one of the most commonly diagnosed contagious diseases of the horse, worldwide. Though strangles is highly contagious and can affect many horses on a farm, particularly young animals, most horses with infection recover without complication.

It is not uncommon for strangles infections to recur on a farm with previous outbreaks of the disease. The bacteria can survive in water sources for over a month, but the primary source of recurrent infections is most likely asymptomatic carrier horses. Anywhere from 4-50% of the horses on farms with recurring strangles are asymptomatic carriers of the infection, and they may continue to shed the bacteria for months to even years, serving as a continual source of new infections.

If you suspect a strangles outbreak, be sure to involve your veterinarian right away to determine the diagnosis and the best control practices for your particular farm. Strangles is a reportable disease in some states. Movement of any horses on or off the farm should be stopped, and new horses should not be introduced. Monitoring the temperature of all horses daily and isolating horses at the first sign of fever is one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of infection. Infected horses can transmit the bacteria to healthy horses one to two days after they develop a fever.

As always, your veterinarian remains your best source of information and advice!

Saturday was a very special day at Payne Equine as we got to watch our Maddie walk down the aisle with the little Payne boys as ring bearers. In true equine vet fashion we took a colic in right before the wedding. Dr. Payne worked it up then quickly headed home to change. Sidney went home to change and came back to check on her. It’s never a good time for a Colic…but our team always steps up to make it work. (Even if it’s in high heels! 👠) We even got to see Hailey at the wedding. Congratulations to the Denison’s it was a beautiful wedding!

One of the many options for injections we keep in stock.

When treating any joint-related condition, an accurate diagnosis is essential to fully assess the severity of the disease and ensure ArthramidVet is used only for the indicated conditions. ArthramidVet is suitable for most cases of acute or chronic synovitis, capsulitis, meniscal tears, osteoarthritis, or subchondral bone cysts. Here are a few considerations to determine if ArthramidVet is the right option for your horse:

✔️ Non-infectious cause of lameness localized to the joint through clinical examination and diagnostic tools, such as intra-articular analgesia, radiography, ultrasound, MRI, CT, or scintigraphy.

✔️ Diagnosis of acute or chronic synovitis, capsulitis, meniscal tears, osteoarthritis, or subchondral bone cysts.

✔️ Suitable for cases where other treatments may be contraindicated due to metabolic conditions or advanced age.

✔️ Optimal long-term outcomes are achieved when treatment is administered early in the disease process.

As a veterinary-only product, consult your veterinarian to discuss if ArthramidVet could benefit your horse.

If you have seen this side of Payne Equine it’s likely you came for an emergency. As the only Equine practice still accepting after hours emergencies in Montgomery we are happy to continue to help.

We can’t accept them all, and can’t always come to your barn, but we do try to be there for you when you need it.

As a reminder please make sure you CALL with the emergency and speak to the after hours operator.
