Hi everyone!

We are back in action, though in a rental. Betty White is in the shop and hopefully will return to us soon. Please be patient with us because our set up is a bit like Tetris right now and we won’t have extra medications on the vehicle for dispensing. Thank you all for being so understanding! Special thanks to our friends who jumped in immediately to help and to JP, who is always there for me no matter what. ❤️

Sincerely,

Dr. Hames

It’s that time of year! Prevention is the best medicine.

It’s that time of year! ☀️
If you own a horse that is known or suspected to have cushings/PPID or Equine Metabolic Syndrome, it’s time to take all pasture access away from them. If you have an overweight horse, I suggest you do this for them as well as they are at risk of Equine Metabolic Syndrome.

The grass is starting sprout up with all the rain and warmer temperatures. This early grass has a lot of sugar in it and is especially good at causing laminitis/founder in these at-risk horses. Its SIGNIFICANTLY easier to prevent than it is to treat this disease.

Time for the dry lots!

Mallo Equine will not be available for emergencies tonight until 6AM tomorrow morning. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you!!

We are excited to share a new therapy that Mallo Equine has to offer.

Mesotherapy!

Mesotherapy was developed to break the pain spasm cycle. The principle is based on the theory of gait control that originates from the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.

The technique involves injecting medication with extremely small needles to pe*****te the middle layer (MESOderm) of the skin, typically 4 to 6 millimeters. Small skin bumps appear at injection sites, but disappear and benefits are typically noted around 3-7 days.

Indications for Mesotherapy:
✔️Arthritis of back & neck
✔️SI or Gluteal pain
✔️Generalized back discomfort/pain secondary to front or hind limb lameness
✔️Kissing spine syndrome

Think your horse may benefit from Mesotherapy? Give us a call at 320.330.8623 or email at [email protected]

*As always, a physical or performance exam must be completed prior to Mesotherapy or any other type of therapy.*

LEAAPPP YEAAAARR!!! Something that only comes around about every 4 years.
Did you know….
About 5 million people in the world are leap year babies.

What will you be doing with your horse on this extra day?

02/27/2024

Just a friendly reminder for the plummeting temps and potential snow!

- Check your horse’s water and ensure the heating elements are working
- Ensure they have more than enough forage
- If your horse is the type that never leaves their shelter during a storm, ensure they have access to forage and water in their shelter
- Ensure your first aid kit is stocked
- If your horse’s paddock is super icey, consider keeping them inside for safety.
- Keep or put blankets on your older horses who may not be capable of thermoregulating as well

- These tips can be applied to small ruminants!

Thank you!

❄️ Keep these helpful tips in mind when managing horses during this week's cold snap. ❄️

⏰ Maintain your normal schedule if possible. Research from Virginia found that an increase in colic episodes following adverse weather was a result of sudden changes in management and not the weather itself.

⚡️ Energy needs for a horse at maintenance increase about 1% for each degree below 18°F. For example, if the temperature is -18°F, a 1,000 pound idle, adult horse would need approximately 4 additional pounds of forage (e.g., hay) daily. It is best to provide the extra energy as forage since heat is produced from the microbial fermentation of forage.

🏡 Horses must have access to shelter from wind and moisture. A horse’s hair coat acts as insulation by trapping air, but when wet, the insulating value is loss.

💧 Water should be kept between 45 to 65°F to maximize consumption. Most adult horses require a minimum of 10 to 12 gallons of water each day. Horses should always have access to fresh, clean water. Check water sources often to ensure they have not froze.

🧤 Take care of yourself! Protect yourself from the cold by wearing multiple layers of coats and pants. Ensure the outer layer is wind and waterproof. Additionally, wear insulated, waterproof boots; warm gloves; a winter hat; and a scarf or neck gaiter to cover your face.

FEBRUARY IS NATIONAL DENTAL HEALTH MONTH 🦷

Although our dental special is typically in October (hint hint), we still want to celebrate and recognize national dental health month because we believe it is SUPER IMPORTANT.

Your horse’s mouth is changing as you read this post! Their teeth are continuously erupting and causing wear. Without yearly oral exams and dentistry, your horse could develop abnormalities that cause pain, chewing/digestive issues and resistance in the bridal.

Enjoy Some Myth Busters!

🦷Truth or Myth? “My horse is young, so they don’t need dentistry.”
MYTH! For healthy young horses, we typically recommend starting dentistry at the age of 2, though having a baby horse’s mouth examined is always beneficial.

🦷Truth or Myth? “My horse doesn’t need sedation for dentistry”
MYTH! To perform a thorough exam and dentistry, we require all horses to be sedated. Sedation provides a stress free environment making it easier and safe for everyone involved including the horse.

🦷Truth of Myth? “My horse needs dentistry/exam A T L E A S T every year.”
TRUTH!!! Like we said above, your horse’s mouth is continuously changing and it’s important to catch minor problems before it affects your horse globally such as weight, performance and attitude. Our dentistry always includes a thorough head/oral exam and reduction of sharp points. If necessary reduction of malocclusions and x-rays can be performed.

🦷Truth or Myth? “My horse is fat and isn’t dropping any food so they don’t need dentistry.”
MYTH! Although dropping food/loosing weight is a good indicator that your horse needs to be examined and likely needs dentistry, your horse should have dentistry performed before this problem occurs. *There are special situations when these issues can occur despite having dentistry performed on a regular basis.*
