Very good advice as we prepare for the Holiday.

As we enter Thanksgiving week in the US, many of your vets will be out of town or spending much needed time with their families.

It’s times like these that horse owners need to practice preventative caregiving.

During this holiday time, as an emergency only vet, I recommend the following:

- Don’t deworm your horse right now.

- Don’t start a new feed right now.

- Don’t get a new round bale of coastal hay right now if you’ve let the last one go to dust (give small amounts at a time or mix with a stemmy hay until they’ve had their fill, then give the round bale).

- Don’t change schedules.

- Don’t vaccinate your horse right now, especially if you have a known reactor.

- Don’t be in a rush and fail to soak your feed for long enough (choke risk) - especially if you’re late to feed due to holiday errands/get togethers.

- If you have visitors, limit treats. Ensure gates are closed. Make sure feed doors and bins locked.

There is already a shortage of equine vets - and the few we do have will likely be out of town or trying to enjoy the holiday.

Let’s all have a very Happy Thanksgiving. And let’s let our vets stay home with family!

Remember: Proper Preparation Prevents Postponed Potlucks! 😂🥴

Water remains as important for your horse in cold weather as it is in the summer. As a matter of fact, decreased water consumption in the winter is thought to be the primary inducing factor for impaction colic — although there are other predisposing factors such as poor hay quality, lack of exercise, internal parasites and dental problems.

Impaction colic is essentially constipation and most often includes the accumulation of hard, dry f***l material in the colon. The usual signs of impending impaction colic are depression, a decreased appetite, and decreased production and dryness of manure.

Studies demonstrate that you can increase your horse's winter water consumption if you provide access to heated water, but ONLY if that is the only source of water available. As always, if you have any questions about preventing colic in your horse, your equine veterinarian remains your best source of information!

Did you know your horse can catch the flu, too?

While there isn’t a specific time of the year for “flu season” in the equine world, any time is good to learn more about this highly contagious respiratory condition—particularly because it’s one of the most common infectious diseases of the respiratory tract of horses, and recent years have been unusually active for Equine Influenza Virus (EIV) on a global scale.

EIV spreads rapidly through groups of horses in aerosolized droplets dispersed by coughing, and the severity of clinical signs depends on the degree of existing immunity within the affected individual, among other factors (i.e., correctly vaccinated horses are less affected than unvaccinated horses).
Any horse showing signs of respiratory disease (cough, nasal discharge, persistent fever) should be isolated immediately until your veterinarian can determine the exact cause.

&

As always, your horse doctor remains your best source of information. Contact them to learn more about how to prevent this disease through an appropriate vaccination protocol and biosecurity practices.

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!

Good read on our 100% pure Flax Oil.. the benefits for your horse below.

Do you take flax? Does your horse?
Here's a rundown of why feeding Flax Factor flax oil can help your horse have anti-inflammatory effects, a great immune system, cardiovascular health, and maintain weight!

Value of improving the ratio of Omega 3 & Omega 6 oil in horse feed.

Improving the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 oils in horse feed supports overall health and performance of horses, Omega-3 and omega-6 are essential fatty acids but not produced by the body. They only come from feeds. Outside of fresh pasture grass, most feeds have an imbalance -- too much omega-6, too little omega-3.
This imbalance influences a number of health issues in horses and other animals.

Improving the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids has several benefits:

1. Anti-inflammatory effects: Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, while omega-6 fatty acids are pro-inflammatory. By increasing omega-3, the inflammatory response in horses and other animals can be better regulated, reducing risk of chronic inflammation-related diseases such as arthritis, insulin resistance, or inflammatory skin conditions.

2. Improved immune function: Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have a positive impact on the immune system, helping fight off infections and illnesses more effectively.

3. Cardiovascular health: Omega-3 fatty acids are known to have cardiovascular benefits, such as improving heart function. By increasing omega-3 intake and balancing the ratio with omega-6, horses and other animals may experience improved cardiovascular health.

4. Improved weight maintenance & skin and coat health: Balancing the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio can promote healthy skin and a shiny coat in horses, reducing the risk of skin issues like dryness, itching, or dull coat. An additional notable benefit is helping older horses & hard-doers hold their weight.

Optimizing the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (4:1), producers can help promote better health and well-being in their animals, leading to improved performance.

Proud that these products help get this team down the road!

How do you ensure good health from the inside out? Enos Yoder with Hidden "Y" Ranch in Westcliffe, CO, has had great success feeding Sweet Pro’s EquiPride to his eight Percheron show horses that he takes all over the country. After switching to EquiPride, it didn’t take long for all of his horses to show signs of improvement in health and increased performance.

“I can tell a difference when I feed EquiPride to my Percherons: Ices, Fancy, Glory, Ashley, Miracle, Mattie, Bealuh, and Classey. Their coats are shinier, they have better hoof growth, and I save a lot of money on feed because of better digestion. You see fewer oats in their manure. EquiPride doesn’t make them hot during shows and it gives them the energy they need to perform well. One of the biggest things I’ve noticed is that my horses do not colic on me. It really is a great, great product.“
