We appreciate the inquiries we have received regarding our new communication system, PetDesk, and would like to take this opportunity to address them.
We acknowledge that the transition to this new system offers many benefits for our practice, and we understand that you may have questions as we navigate this change together.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐒 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦?

In our continuous effort to enhance communication and simplify processes for our clients, we conducted several months of research to identify the most effective solution for both our clients and our team.

We are excited about the features of this system, particularly its integration with a mobile app. This app not only enhances our customer service by organizing all information related to your horses under your name but also allows you to engage with us at your
convenience.

𝐈𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩?

While downloading the app is not mandatory, we strongly encourage it due to the numerous benefits it offers, such as:

- Receiving reminders for health services to schedule your next appointment
- Seamlessly confirming appointments
- Requesting medication refills

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐤 𝐚𝐩𝐩?

The app provides access to various resources, including the ability to email, call, visit our website, complete forms, and access our online pharmacy. Additionally, it consolidates all information related to your horse(s) in one place, including but not limited to: vaccination, dental, health certificate and Coggins reminders.

The app enables you to create private, customizable to-do lists that remind you to schedule appointments, administer medications, or save questions for Dr. Newton for your next visit. You can even set up push notifications.

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩?

Absolutely! The app provides extensive information, including your upcoming appointments, the type of appointment, and the specific horse involved. You can check your appointment history and confirm appointments right through the app. Additionally, it syncs with our office to ensure that we are always updated on your confirmations.

You can also create reminders based on your appointment history to prompt you to reach out for scheduling follow-up appointments, like vaccination boosters, since life moves fast!

𝐈𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐤 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫?

Currently, PetDesk is available solely on mobile devices. Nevertheless, the developers are consistently working on enhancements to increase convenience for horse owners.

Water plays a vital role in various physiological processes, including thermoregulation, nutrient absorption and utilization, digestion, and the movement of feed through the gastrointestinal tract.

An adult horse can consume between 10 to 15 gallons of water per day; therefore, ensuring sufficient water intake is essential for their health and well-being.

𝘚𝘰𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘴: Adding water to feeds increases their moisture content, which can enhance the horse's overall water intake.
𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘵: Adding these substances to a mash can stimulate thirst and encourage higher fluid consumption.

𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳: Adding a handful of the horse's favorite grain to a bucket of water may entice them to drink more.

It is essential to have fresh water available during feeding times and to monitor daily water intake closely, particularly during sudden weather changes or cold snaps.

Regular observation can help prevent dehydration, which can lead to serious health issues.

Here is some great information and links on EPM!

EPM is widely considered the most important infectious neurologic disease of horses in North America and is caused by protozoal infection of the central nervous system. Horses are infected by consuming food or water contaminated with opossum s**t containing sporocysts.

Horses with EPM do not present a biosecurity risk to other animals because the disease is not transmissible between horses. An effective vaccine has yet to be developed, so the best preventative approach includes eliminating access of opossums to feed and water in order to minimize contact with opossum s**t and improving your horse's immune defenses by decreasing stress and optimizing health.

To learn more about EPM, visit the following resources:
https://aaep.org/resource/equine-protozoal-myeloencephalitis-epm/
&
https://www.equinediseasecc.org/EPM

As always, consult your veterinarian for more information and for advice tailored to your horse's specific circumstances.

Did you know that a horse with a moderate hair coat starts requiring additional calories for body temperature regulation when the outside temperature drops to approximately 50°F?

As the temperatures start to drop, especially overnight, it's important to remember that cold weather prompts special considerations for your horse's diet and care. This is particularly important when it comes to the older members of the herd; consult your primary horse doctor to formulate a plan to keep your horses happy and healthy this fall and winter!

With respect, honor and gratitude, thank you Veterans 🇺🇸
