Jazzaphone is doing much better. He is a sweet guy who would love a home with someone that has a nice cozy stall for him, a few nice friends and experience with thoroughbreds. Although he never raced, at some point in his life he had training, and we are slowly reintroducing him to riding. If you have room in your heart and your barn for Jazz please reach out to us.

As we approach the start of fall and the temperatures start to drop, here is some important information to know regarding fall laminitis.

Fall laminitis refers to cases of laminitis or founder that occur in the autumnal months. Although laminitis can happen in any season, anecdotally there seems to be an uptick in the number of cases in the fall.

Why could this be?

• As the days get shorter and colder, grasses have been shown to respond to this stress with higher sugar concentrations. Diets with higher simple sugar concentrations may increase the risk of laminitis.

• Decreases in exercise may cause increases in body condition. Fat or obese horses are at risk of developing laminitis.

• Horses naturally have increased levels of certain hormones in the fall. If you have a horse with PPID (previously referred to as equine Cushing’s), the increase in their cortisol levels could put them at risk for laminitis.

If you have questions concerning fall laminitis or are concerned that your equine companion may be at an increased risk, contact your equine veterinarian so that they can properly evaluate your unique situation.

Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

We received an urgent call from Mikey's adopter, and they have an emergency call into their veterinarians at Pine Bush Equine. If everyone could keep both Jazz and Mikey in their thoughts and prayers we would appreciate it. ** Update. Mikey was seen by the veterinarian and is now on adequan and will be followed up with a chiropractor. Whew! So glad we have such great adopters who stay in touch. It could be an emotional roller coaster but we're happy to be here and be part of the process.

Folks, our buddy Jazz was colicky last night. He is at a veterinary facility getting excellent care. After an extensive exam and work up the concern was a right dorsal displacement. Numerous checks were made throughout the night and he seems to have stabilized. We will share updates as they come in.

After an emergency, animals may not have access to food for days at a time. Their bodies respond to this starvation by mobilizing energy stores to meet their needs, but this can cause major fluid and electrolyte abnormalities.

Upon rescuing an animal after a disaster, it may be your immediate instinct to offer them food as soon as possible. However, if these animals are offered free choice feed after being rescued, these imbalances can drastically worsen and result in respiratory, cardiac, and neurologic complications. This group of clinical signs in response to introducing feed after starvation is termed “refeeding syndrome”.

To prevent refeeding syndrome, follow the guidelines outlined in the graphic and be sure to work with a veterinarian to address any concerns specific to your situation.
