Good morning!
We hope everyone has had a great start to 2025.
With Coggins season fast approaching, Hess Equine will no longer be offering paper Coggins, and switching to Digital Coggins (GVL) only. With online access to your Coggins 24/7, this should eliminate the need to search for your paper Coggins at 4am on show mornings!
Any questions, please call the office: 717-993-5728

Did you get any good pictures of your horses in the snow? We would love to see them.

The best thing you can do to keep your horses healthy during this cold snap:
-Ensure they have amble quality hay (2.5-3% of their body weight)
-Free choice access to water (40 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal)
-Shelter from the elements

Stay safe out there!

The art of properly applying eye ointment:
1. Use your index finger to lift the upper lid
2. Use your thumb to roll down the lower lid
3. Apply 1/4 strip of ointment, staying parallel to the eye, along the underside of the lower lid - being careful NOT to touch the eyeball
4. If you’re applying more then one medication separate each by 5 minutes

We consider any eye issues to be an emergency. Please call us with any concerns with your horses eyes.

One Health recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems are interconnected. As veterinarians, we should embrace that approach whenever possible. Dr. Rogers and her husband Brian (a nurse educator) did just that while presenting at a nursing conference earlier this year.

Dr. Rogers is back at it again presenting online October 7 for nurses interested in learning about equine medications and the manner in which they may be abused by humans.

If you are a nurse interested in attending this online CE please contact us or visit the ENA Delaware Valley (PA) Chapter page on Facebook.

The art of properly applying eye ointment: 1. Use your index finger to lift the upper lid 2. Use your thumb to roll down the lower lid 3. Apply 1/4 strip of ointment, staying parallel to the eye, along the underside of the lower lid - being careful NOT to touch the eyeball 4. If you’re applying more then one medication separate each by 5 minutes We consider any eye issues to be an emergency. Please call us with any concerns with your horses eyes.

Steps to ensuring a proper limb bandage: 1. Apply a telfa pad or abdominal pad over the wound after applying medication (if appropriate) and gently secure with conform. Be careful not to pull the conform tight - it is simply to hold the covering over the site of interest 2. Apply cotton combine or a cotton quilt flat against the leg starting from inside the limb and from the backside of the rolled cotton. Carefully unroll it snuggly against the limb, keeping the material flat and not bunched 3. Apply vet wrap or a track wrap over the cotton. Apply even pressure throughout the wrapping, again taking care to overlap evenly. Make certain cotton is visible both at the top and bottom of the bandage 4. A properly applied bandage should allow a finger to fit between it and the cotton. Bandages that are too loose or too tight can both cause problems.
