Ouch! Brown recluse 🕷 spider bite! This sweet mini was bitten on his neck but is recovering well.

Brown recluse spider bites can sometimes lead to necrosis, or tissue death, at the bite site. The spider's venom contains toxins that can damage blood vessels, tissues, and nerves, causing the skin to die. While not all brown recluse bites result in necrosis, it's a potential complication and should be treated by a veterinarian.

What the heck?! This is a huge "bean" removed last week during a sheath cleaning by Dr Hulse.

What is a "bean"? Beans are made of sm**ma which is a natural, waxy substance that can accumulate in the sheath of male horses. Sm**ma can also harden into a ball in the urethral fossa, a small pocket above the urethra. A buildup of sm**ma can cause discomfort for the horse when urinating and large beans can potentially obstruct urine flow, causing the horse to stand "camped out" with their hind legs extended. Sm**ma can attract flies which is also irritating to the horse. We recommend regular sheath cleaning once a year or as needed for your horse.

Did you know donkeys nutrition requirements are much lower than a horse? On average, donkeys only need 1.3-1.7% of their body weight in feed per day compared to 2% for a horse. This is due to improved efficiency of digestion and slower transit time of feed in their gut. This means your average 500 lb donkey only needs 6.5 lbs food per day (3-3.5lbs per meal if split up).

Did you know... only 10% of donkeys roll when having colic pain but 80% are off feed? They are very stoic and good at hiding pain. More likely they look like "Eyore" when sick or having colic pain.... ears back or to the side, isolating themselves, appear "sad", not eating, eyes partially closed, lips/nose may be tight or wrinkled. Since they are so good at hiding pain, many owners delay getting them seen be a veterinarian and they get even sicker.
