Good reminders about the increased risk for colic with the change of seasons!

Water remains as important for your horse in cold weather as it is in the summer. As a matter of fact, decreased water consumption in the winter is thought to be the primary inducing factor for impaction colic — although there are other predisposing factors such as poor hay quality, lack of exercise, internal parasites and dental problems.

Impaction colic is essentially constipation and most often includes the accumulation of hard, dry f***l material in the colon. The usual signs of impending impaction colic are depression, a decreased appetite, and decreased production and dryness of manure.

Studies demonstrate that you can increase your horse's winter water consumption if you provide access to heated water, but ONLY if that is the only source of water available. As always, if you have any questions about preventing colic in your horse, your equine veterinarian remains your best source of information!

Ticks are out in full force!
It is not uncommon to see several cases of tick borne illnesses including Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis on a regular basis in the clinic. Unfortunately untreated disease can cause significant complications including joint damage and kidney failure. Prevention including vaccination and parasite control are very important to consider for your pets.
We carry several flea and tick preventative products to fit your animals needs. Stop in or call the clinic to talk about what would work best for you.
Here is a map from the Companion Animal Parasite Council regarding disease numbers across the US.

The data in this map was provided by IDEXX Laboratories and ANTECH Diagnostics. It is statistically significant and it serves as a strong representation of the parasite activity for each area. However, it does not represent the total number of positive tests. Instead, we estimate it represents less....

We have been seeing an increase in Canine Respiratory disease cases recently. These cases are often quite contagious, can be from several different causes, and may spread quickly between dogs and a household.

Call us to set up an appointment if you want to discuss your dogs risk factors and what type of preventative vaccinations or other measures might be a good idea.
