🌵❄️ Cold Weather and Horse Hydration: Prevent Winter Colic!🐴
As temperatures drop in Arizona, horses may drink less water, increasing the risk of impaction colic. Here’s how to keep your equine friends hydrated and healthy:
1️⃣ Warm Water: Horses prefer water between 45-65°F. Use a tank heater or add warm water to encourage drinking.
2️⃣ Salt or Electrolytes: Offer free-choice loose salt or add electrolytes to their feed to stimulate thirst.
3️⃣ Moisture-Rich Feed: Soak hay or add water to grain to increase moisture intake.
4️⃣ Fresh & Clean Water: Check water troughs frequently to ensure they’re clean and free of ice.
5️⃣ Regular Monitoring: Watch for early signs of colic, like decreased appetite, pawing, or restlessness. Contact us immediately if you suspect a problem.
Keeping horses hydrated during cooler months is key to preventing colic and keeping them comfortable. 🐴❤️ Stay vigilant and keep those troughs full!

Urban Livestock & Equine Veterinary Services provides complete medical and surgical services for pet pigs of all sizes: potbelly pigs, miniatures, teacup and micro and every other kind of pet pig. Mobile services are available for pigs, however some surgeries and other anesthetic procedures will need to be performed in our clinic. Therefore, it is important that you have a way of transporting your pet pig if necessary. Even the largest potbellied and miniature pigs (upwards of 200 pounds) can be transported in a large dog kennel. Getting your pig used to handling and restraint ahead of time makes veterinary visits much less stressful.
Call today to schedule your piggie appointment!

As fall approaches, it's time for our equine owners to start thinking about the essential care their horses need to stay healthy through the cooler months. Fall is a critical season for ensuring your horse is protected and in top condition as the weather changes and their needs shift.
Fall Vaccines: With the season change, horses are exposed to different environmental conditions that can make them more susceptible to various diseases. Fall vaccines are crucial in providing immunity against threats like influenza, rhinopneumonitis, and West Nile virus. These vaccines help your horse build the necessary defense to stay healthy through the winter months when they may be spending more time indoors or in closer proximity to other horses.
Dental Care: Alongside vaccines, fall is also an ideal time for dental check-ups. As the grass quality diminishes and you switch to hay and grain, your horse's dental health becomes even more important. Regular dental exams ensure that your horse can chew their food properly, preventing issues like weight loss or colic due to poor digestion. Addressing any dental issues now will set your horse up for a comfortable and healthy winter.
By prioritizing fall vaccines and dental care, you're not only protecting your horse's health but also ensuring they’re ready for the cooler months ahead. Schedule an appointment with us today to keep your equine partner in peak condition this fall!
