🚨IMPORTANT EHV NOTICE FOR OUR CLIENTS AND ALL HORSE OWNERS

🐴SYMPTOMS
1. Fever
2. Nasal discharge
3. Hind end weakness or wobbliness
4. Loss of tail tone
5. Urine dribbling
6. Some cases progress to EHM, the neurological form of EHV-1, which is a medical emergency

2. Aerosolized particles
3. Shared equipment (e.g. Water buckets, tack, grooming tools)
4. People (e.g. hands, clothing, boots)
5. From infected mares to foals

To keep everyone safe, we are advising the following:

🌡️Temperature monitoring at home
1. Please take your horse’s temperature twice daily (morning and evening) if your horse was at WPRA Finals or has been to any show or event in the last 14 days.
2. A re**al temperature of 101.5 F is a concern. Call us if you see a fever, nasal discharge, coughing or any stumbling/neurological signs

🚛“Stay on the Trailer” Policy for suspect cases
1. If you are worried about EHV exposure or your horse has a fever, do not unload your horse when you arrive at the clinic
2. Call our front desk from your vehicle on arrival and we will send our team to your trailer to check your horse’s temperature, perform an exam and collect nasal swabs to run stall-side EHV tests

Thank-you for working with us to protect your horses and the wider equine community.

🐎🍂Colic Prevention in Cooler Months🍂🐎

✔️ Make any dietary changes gradually – introduce new feeds or transition from pasture to hay slowly. 🌾
✔️ Encourage water intake – colder temps or frozen water can decrease how much water your horse drinks. Try soaking feed or offering warm water to boost hydration.💧
✔️ Keep them moving – exercise and turnout help keep the gut active. 🏇

🚨 Even with the best care, colic can still happen. The most important thing is to stay alert and have a plan. If you notice any signs of colic, give us a call right away – every case is serious. 🚨

Today is recognized as World Mental Health Day – please take a moment with us to acknowledge the importance of mental health – for our clients and those in the veterinary community. Caring for animals is deeply rewarding, but it can also be emotionally demanding, especially when meeting under stressful situations. 💙🐴

✨Today is a good reminder to pause, take a deep breath, and extend patience and kindness – not only to others, but to yourself as well. ✨

For those struggling or who want to make an impact, there are numerous local equine therapy programs available that use the healing connection between people and horses to support mental wellness. We encourage you to reach out and find the one that best suits your needs.

OCEC is pleased to announce that Dr. Stevens is now offering acupuncture appointments! 🎉

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine technique that involves introducing tiny needles into specific locations on the body. These specialized "acupoints" stimulate a response via body fluids, connective tissue, the nervous system, and/or the endocrine system. Stimulation of these points can have healing effects & restore homeostasis in local and distant tissues.

Acupuncture can be helpful for conditions including but not limited to:

✅ Musculoskeletal problems such as lameness, arthritis, muscle soreness
✅GI conditions such as f***l water syndrome and poor appetite
✅ Skin conditions such as allergies and anhidrosis (non-sweating)
✅ Neurologic problems such as facial or radial nerve paralysis and Sweeny
✅ Respiratory conditions such as asthma
✅Reproductive/urinary conditions such as infertility and poor milk production
✅General pain relief and performance enhancement

It is important to note that while acupuncture can aid in the treatment of many conditions, it is not a cure-all and is often recommended in conjunction with traditional Western medicine diagnostics and treatments. If you're not sure whether acupuncture can help your horse, feel free to ask!

🩺 Dr. Stevens is a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist. She completed coursework, labs, internship hours, and a case study through Chi University in Florida. If you are interested in scheduling an acupuncture appointment for your horse, please call the office at 📞 405-843-1099.

🍂🐎Fall Care Tips 🐎 🍂

As the season changes, so do your horse’s needs! Here are some things to keep in mind this fall:

💉Vaccines/ Boosters – Fall is the perfect time to make sure your horse is up to date on vaccines or schedule any needed boosters, especially before the stress of winter weather.

🦟Parasite Control – Drops in temperature does not mean to drop the parasite control! Fall deworming is important to target strongyles and other internal parasites before they pass the winter in your horse. We can help you find the product that best suits your needs based on their f***l egg count testing! 🔬

✅Body Condition & Coat – As the leaves start to change, so does the forage. Keep in mind that your horse’s nutritional needs may change as well – and with the incoming fluff, weight changes can be harder to catch!

Seasonal wellness checks and preventative care are the best investments for the long-term health of your horses. Have questions or want to book? Call our office at 📞405-843-1099 or visit the website below for more information.

Handling Wounds in Horses 🐎🩺
Accidents happen, but knowing how to respond to a wound can make all the difference. Here are a few tips:

✔️Move the horse to a stall or safe place if possible without causing additional stress.
✔️Minimize contamination – avoid touching the wound too much or probing if it's deep. If you can’t see the full extent of the injury, inspect carefully, but do not dig or poke. 🧼
✔️Control any bleeding by applying gentle and consistent pressure with a clean cloth or bandage. Do not put anything on the wound other than cold water or a compress without consulting your veterinarian. 🩸

🚨 Call OCEC – even small wounds can become serious if not treated properly. When in doubt, it's always safest to let us evaluate the situation. Quick action means quicker healing and fewer complications.

Below is an infographic created by our friends, the American Association of Equine Practitioners to provide a guideline for how to assess and take action in an emergency wound situation.
