Spring time is here 🌸 Which means once last cold front….. also known as colic time 🥴

Clinical signs to look for: rolling (and not shaking when getting up), not eating/interested in grain, hay, or grass, laying down, flank watching, flehmen response, adr (ain’t doing right), pawing, and stretching

Ways to help prevent colic: water, water, and more water 💧
Dehydration is the leading cause to so many symptoms of colic. By feeding mashes, wetting hay, offering flavored water, and adding table salt (the only electrolyte to increase thirst), you are helping to decrease the risk 🚰💦

You know your horse best! And if you think something is off, never hesitate to reach out!

If your horse does display signs of colic, please call 334-707-8849

Does April fools day have the same superstition of a full moon? A tired veterinarian wants to know 🥴

Multiple emergencies treated, many emergencies referred, full schedule, an hour with IT because my radiograph machine decided to add to the chaos, but just ended the day with this cutie 🥰

Tired but grateful for my clients and this job. Truly wouldn’t have any other way 🤍

Preparing for the worst, hoping for the best, and saying lots of prays 🤍

The biggest question that I get asked is in or out? While my recommendation is out for many reasons, at the end of the day do whatever you think is best for your horses!

Having some form of ID on them is also highly beneficial!

Edit: Thanks to Kaylin Roqué, forgot to add to make sure you have updated pictures of them! Just like the ones we take for their coggins!

When the storms are through, we will be here for emergencies for your animals and for anything personally needed as well! The community here is amazing and we will all do what we can to help out!

Stay safe 🤍

Foaling season is here!
Do you know the 1, 2, 3 rule?

1: Within the first hour the foal should be standing

2: Within two hours the foal should be nursing

3: Within three hours the foal should pass the meconium and the mare should pass her placenta (once placenta is passed, lay it out to make sure all is intact/present)

If any of these are not met, it is considered an emergency!
12-24 hours after giving birth, the foal and mare should have a health check done by a veterinarian, as well as an IgG test to ensure successful passive transfer of antibodies.

Happy Foaling season! Here is to hopefully a safe and healthy one! 🤍

❄️Snuggle alert ❄️
With the cold weather coming in, here are some tips and tricks from Countryside Equine Hospital to help our horses during this weather!

Making sure they have access to hay and water are essential throughout these weeks

Different ways to increase thirst and/or water consumption:
~Adding salt to water or food
~Adding water to grain and creating a mash or soup
~Flavoring the water: molasses, feed, alfalfa
Make sure that they always have a plain water to choose from as well!

Melanie Paxton thanks for the pic

My heart is so full 🫶🏼

Yesterday Kaylin Roqué and I hosted the first emergency education course for horse owners!
We covered vitals (abnormal vs normal), colic, first aid kit, abscesses and so much more!
Thank you all for coming out, asking great questions and for allowing me to provide my knowledge to you!

Huge thank you to Kaylin for supporting my crazy idea of this, putting it together, and using her beautiful facility and horses! Can’t thank you enough!

Be on the lookout for more classes👀🤭

Two years filled with so much gratitude, thankfulness, and pure joy 🤍

There is so much that is on my heart but I cannot put into words how grateful I am for this community. Thank you for entrusting me with the care and treatment your favorite animals. The long days can be hard, but every thank you text, card and message bring a smile to my face every time🤍

Here’s to many more years🥳

🚨Over the next few days I will be having multiple posts that will contain important information; however, at this time there are multiple people in our horse community that are in need of thoughts and prayers 🚨

Dr Mike of Valley Veterinary Associates was in a auto accident the other day. Thoughts and prayers for both Dr Mike and Dr Rachel. Please remember that as clients compassion, grace and kindness will mean the world to them 🤍

Benjamin Reed Farrier Services is have emergency heart surgery and a prolonged ICU stay. Thoughts and prayers and with him and his kids 🤍
