Spring Grooming Tips for Your Horse🌸🐴

1. **Tackle the Shedding**
Spring shedding is inevitable, but with the right tools, you can make it easier. Use a curry comb or shedding blade to gently remove loose hair. This will not only help your horse look neat but also improve blood circulation to the skin, promoting a healthy coat.

2. **Regular Brushing**
Brushing your horse regularly (at least 2-3 times a week) is essential in removing dirt and loose hair. Try using a soft-bristled brush to finish after currying. This will leave your horse’s coat shiny and smooth while removing any remaining dead hair.

3. **Bath Time**
If your horse has a particularly dirty or matted coat, a spring bath might be in order! Use a gentle, horse-friendly shampoo to clean away mud and grime. Just be sure to dry them thoroughly afterward to avoid chills on cooler days.

4. **Dealing with Mud**
We all know how messy spring can get! Mud can be tough on your horse’s legs, but don’t panic. If your horse is muddy, use a hoof pick to clean their hooves and a damp towel to wipe down their legs. If your horse’s coat gets excessively muddy, give them a quick rinse, but avoid getting water in their ears or eyes.

5. **Check for Skin Issues**
Spring means a lot of time spent outdoors, so make sure to check your horse’s coat and skin for any signs of irritation, cuts, or fungal infections (like rain rot). If you spot anything unusual, contact your vet to ensure prompt treatment.

Spring grooming is the perfect time to bond with your horse while helping them shed the winter coat and look their best for the season ahead.

Foaling season is just around the corner, and it’s essential to have a well-stocked foaling kit ready to go! Whether you’re a first-time breeder or a seasoned pro, having the right supplies on hand will help ensure a smooth and safe delivery for both your mare and foal.

Here’s what you need to include in your foaling kit:

🐴Clean Towels
Soft, clean towels are essential for drying off the foal after birth. This helps stimulate circulation and encourages the foal to stand and nurse quickly.

🐴Navel Disinfectant
Once the foal is born, it’s important to disinfect the umbilical cord stump with iodine or another suitable antiseptic to prevent infection.

🐴Gloves
Wear gloves if you need to assist with the delivery. They’re also useful when handling the placenta or checking the mare for any complications.

🐴Lubricant
In case you need to assist with delivery, a sterile lubricant will help ease the process.

🐴Syringe and Needle
In case the foal needs help getting colostrum or has any health concerns, having syringes and needles on hand for quick action is important.

🐴Scissors or Cord Clamps
If the umbilical cord doesn’t break on its own, you may need to cut it. Make sure to sterilize scissors or use cord clamps to safely separate the foal from the mare.

🐴Vet’s Contact Information
Have your vet’s number handy for emergencies or if you need assistance during delivery. Don’t hesitate to call for professional help if needed!

🐴Foal Milk Replacer
While the goal is for the foal to nurse from the mare as soon as possible, it’s always a good idea to have a high-quality foal milk replacer on hand in case there are issues with nursing.

🐴Placenta Bags
Have a place to dispose of the placenta safely and cleanly once it has been delivered. We like a 5 gallon bucket with a lid.

Preparing for foaling day means being ready for the unexpected, so having all these supplies at your fingertips will help ensure you’re ready for the big moment. 🍼🌸
Stay calm, stay prepared, and don’t forget to enjoy the miracle of new life in your barn!

May your day be as lucky as a four-leaf clover and as joyful as a horse galloping through a lush green field! 🌿✨Enjoy th...

Let’s talk the nasties…aka parasites.

🐾Fleas: These tiny pests cause itching, irritation, and can lead to flea allergy dermatitis or transmit other parasites like tapeworms.

🐾Ticks: Ticks can carry diseases like Lyme disease and can cause infections or even paralysis if left unchecked.

🐾Heartworms: Spread by mosquitoes, heartworms are deadly parasites that live in the heart and lungs, causing severe damage.

🐾Intestinal Worms: Tapeworms, roundworms, and hookworms can cause digestive issues, weight loss, and lethargy.

Prevention is always easier and more effective than treatment, so if you currently are NOT on a parasite prevention plan…let’s take care of that. Schedule your free wellness exam for your small animal!

Just like humans, dogs need regular dental care to maintain their overall health. Nobody likes stinky breath…not humans and definitely not dogs!

Why Dental Cleaning Matters:

* Prevents Gum Disease: Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease, causing pain, swelling, and tooth loss.

* Prevents Bad Breath: Regular brushing and cleanings keep your dog’s breath fresh by removing bacteria that cause odor.

* Protects Overall Health: Dental problems can lead to systemic health issues. Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and affect organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Signs Your Dog May Need Dental Care:

* Bad breath
* Drooling or pawing at the mouth
* Yellow or brown tartar buildup on teeth
* Difficulty eating or chewing
* Red or swollen gums

Dr. Prince offers dental cleaning for small animals under our care.

02/03/2025

Arthritis in dogs is a common, yet often overlooked, condition that can significantly impact a dog’s quality of life. It involves inflammation and pain in the joints, leading to stiffness, limping, or difficulty moving.

Signs of Arthritis in Dogs:
👉Limping or lameness: Dogs may favor one leg or show an uneven gait.

👉Stiffness: Difficulty getting up, climbing stairs, or jumping.

👉Behavior changes: Decreased activity, irritability, or reluctance to play.

👉Pain: Sensitivity to touch, especially around the joints.

Causes: Arthritis in dogs can result from aging, injury, obesity, or genetic predispositions (e.g., hip or elbow dysplasia).

Management: While there’s no cure for arthritis, several treatments can help manage the symptoms and improve your dog’s quality of life:

❤👉Pain relief and anti-inflammatory medications: These can ease discomfort and reduce inflammation.

❤Weight management: Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on the joints.
Supplements: Glucosamine and chondroitin can help support joint health.

❤Physical therapy: Gentle exercises can strengthen muscles and improve mobility.

If you suspect your dog may be suffering from arthritis, now is the time to schedule your wellness exam with Dr. Prince.

January is the perfect time to check in and re-evaluate what your animals need for the upcoming year! 🐴

Hoof Care: Winter weather can be tough on your horse’s hooves. Check for signs of thrush, cracks, or excess moisture. If it’s muddy, make sure they’re getting enough dry time and clean footing to prevent issues.

Blanketing & Grooming: Adjust blankets for warmth (and dryness!) as needed. Don’t forget to give your horse a good grooming session to check for any skin issues and to keep their coat in top condition.

Vaccinations & Deworming: This is a great time to schedule any necessary vaccinations or deworming treatments. Keeping your horse's immune system strong during the winter months is key to their overall health.

Weight & Diet 🥕🍏: With cooler temperatures and potentially less turnout time, monitor your horse’s weight. Ensure they’re getting the right balance of hay, grains, and supplements to maintain their condition. Let us know if you need to discuss your horse's nutrition plan.

Dental Check-up: Don’t wait until spring—schedule your horse’s annual dental exam. Early checks can help catch issues before they become problems and keep your horse’s digestion on track.

Winter Respiratory Health: Ensure your barn is well-ventilated to prevent respiratory issues. If you notice coughing, nasal discharge, or changes in your horse’s breathing, talk to your vet!

Taking the time to focus on these areas in January helps set the stage for a healthy, happy year ahead for your horse. 🐎💖
