We all know that hay is important to rabbits and herbivorous companion rodents, but understanding WHY it is so important makes all the difference. In this session, we will review the evolution of grasses and the spread of grasslands, and discuss how that influenced the evolution of rabbits and herbivorous rodents. We will also review how hay, or more specifically, the lack thereof, leads to the development of dental disease in rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. https://www.vin.com/vinmembers/rounds?id=12871330&f5=1

As we continue to monitor the current outbreak of the neurologic form of equine herpesvirus (EHM) infection, let's take this opportunity to discuss once more the importance of biosecurity measures to stop disease spread. We recommend the following biosecurity precautions for horse owners, particularly if their horses have recently traveled to horse shows or were exposed to horses that have traveled:

1) Monitor horses for clinical signs (including fever, discharge from the nostrils, toe-dragging or a lack of balance) and take the temperature twice daily. Temperature greater than 101.5 F is considered a fever.

2) Immediately isolate any horse(s) showing clinical signs. Equine herpesvirus is an aerosolized virus and is spread through shared airspace, direct contact, and contaminated caretakers or equipment. A good isolation area is a separate barn or shelter that does not share airspace with healthy horses.

3) Implement movement restrictions until the situation is evaluated.

4) Contact your veterinarian to evaluate your horse and to propose a comprehensive biosecurity protocol.

5) Increase biosecurity measures that include extensive cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment that come in contact with affected horses: wash or sanitize your hands between interacting with horses; take time while filling water buckets and feed tubs, do not cross contaminate; minimize the use of shared equipment and tack.

6) Make sure your horse is up to date on vaccinations.

7) Establish communication with all parties involved (owners, boarders, trainers, etc.).

Reimagining Board Certification:

In 2022, Michael Dutton, DVM, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice), launched the first hybrid credentialing pathway for veterinarians pursuing ABVP Diplomate status.

Following thorough evaluation and validation by an independent third party, the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP) officially approved the initiative. As a result, ETHOs now offers the only program in the world providing this type of flexible and supported route to board certification for emergency veterinarians.
