Part 1/2: About a week and a half before the truck accident, another incident occurred. While taking radiographs of a horse, a freak accident transpired and the radiograph machine was destroyed. 💔

I am completely THANKful that no one including the horse was hurt during this incident. 🫶🏼
As a small business owner, when your most important and expensive piece of equipment becomes inoperable, you go through a wave of emotions.🥴

While this machine may have weighed about 100 pounds (or more 💪🏼), I am extremely thankful to have started out with it. Grateful for all the radiographs I was able to take with it and how much knowledge and education I was able to provide to my clients with it.🤍

Part two coming tomorrow 👀

If anyone happens to be tech savvy please let me know, as I would really like to get all my previous radiographs off of it😅

Ole blue was officially deemed a total loss😢
This truck was the best first truck a girl could’ve asked for. In 17 months, we traveled over 100,000 miles. So many memories and very grateful for this truck to get me started out!

I am actively looking for a truck, but I am having to wait for insurance money to come through.
I immensely appreciate everyone’s patience, support, and kind words! 🤍

The little sonata is gettin it done 💪🏼

Update (but not much of one): Certain insurance companies just do not care 🙃 (not mine, they are amazing)
My little Sonata is gonna try to be a farm truck for the time being 💪🏼
With the emphasis on “little”, I will only be loading onto my car what I need for the day; therefore, I do apologize if I can’t add on certain things. Also if my car can’t make it down your driveway, I will either walk or may need a lift 😅

I appreciate everyone’s kindness and helpfulness! Many of you reached out to lend a helping hand and/or referrals and it truly means so much!

Last Thursday I was rear ended, and the damage to the truck is extensive.
Everybody was okay, but at this time I believed they are going to say that the truck is a total loss.
The other insurance company is not wanting to give a comparable rental; therefore, I am out of a truck right now.
I know there has been a delay in my communication process and I truly apologize. I have been spending the majority of the days on the phone with insurance.
All I can ask for is a little patience and kindness right now as I figure everything out 🤍

I will be sure to keep you all update!

How many pens can one lose in their truck? A lot.

If anybody knows of anyone selling their truck or has a good dealership contact please let me know! I want to be prepared as possible.

While foaling season is winding down, the mares and foals definitely gave me a run for my money this season 😅

So many precious foals this season! I am grateful for all of the owners who entrusted me with their care🤍

I couldn’t keep all these cuties to myself so here are some of the many (and I mean many) foals born 😍

If you have any you would like to share, post them down below! Everybody could use a cute foal picture!

Howdy y’all 👋🏼
It’s been a minute since I posted, and with so many new faces I figured I would re-introduce myself!
My name is Dr Kaylee Montone 🩺
I am from Florida originally and grew up in the Hunter/jumper world ☀️
For veterinarian school, I attended AUCVM and graduated in 2022
While in the program I realized there was a need for a mobile veterinarian and thought why not me 🛻
Double M Veterinairan became officially established on November 14, 2022 🎉
My main interest is in horses and cattle but I also treat sheep and goats as well 🐴🐮
I am humbled and grateful for the clients I have! Words cannot described how appreciative I am of everyone for entrusting me with the care of their animals! 🤍

Here’s to hoping I can become more consistent with posting interesting and informative cases!

When preparing for the cold weather, these notes are important to remember! 🥶

As a veterinarian my main concern is for Wednesday when the weather goes from the teens to mid 40’s❄️
During this time making sure they have access to fresh water and increasing their water intake (making feed into mash) are ideal💧
Please note that electrolyte paste will not increase their thirst, the only electrolyte to do so is salt! Salt can be added to their feed or to their water. If you add any flavor (salt, molasses, feed) to their water, make sure to always have a plain water available too!

If you suspect that your horse is colicing (or any other emergency) please give me a call at 334-707-8849🚨

As a storm threat of freezing rain and snow marches across the U.S. and Canada ❄️🌨🫧🌬, below are some tips for keeping your horses safe during extreme winter weather events:

1. While lots of hay is ideal for horses to eat to keep warm, now is NOT the time to introduce a round bale if they’ve never had access to one before. It may be more work, but keep throwing them their normal hay source—just more frequently.

2. Similarly, if your horse is not used to being locked up in a stall now is NOT the time. The stress of a major change and the decreased activity can be risk factors for colic. Be sure your animals have access to shelter, hay, and drinkable water but let them move around if they choose to do so.

3. Horses that are thin, older, or fully body clipped are those most at risk in extreme weather.

4. Well fitting blankets are great but be sure horses do not get sweaty under them or that the blankets don’t soak through if snow or rain covered. Wet, cold, and covered is worse that dry, cold, and naked.

5. Some of the highest risk times are when the temperatures hover right around freezing, as that can result in sleet/freezing rain/ice that can make horses wet and therefore colder. Slippery footing is a concern, too.

6. If using electric water heaters, be sure they are functioning and not shocking horses. Take your gloves off and stick your hand in the water (briefly!) to double check.

7. “Trick” your horses into consuming extra water by flavoring a bucket, adding electrolytes to their meals, or soaking their meals in warm water. If you’ve never fed beet pulp before, be sure to add LOTS of warm water. Dry beet pulp is a common source of choke.

8. Tips of ears can be at risk for frostbite. Putting a jumper-style ear bonnet or other ear cover can protect them from wind chills.

Stay safe, friends!

Tis the season for horses to colic 🎶🎄

Since Friday I have attended to 12 colics. All ranging from mild to cases that needed to be referred.

During these cold snaps, anything you can do to increase water intake will help to eliminate the chances of colic. This can include making their grain into mash, offering “sweet tea” (adding a small amount of grain to water), and flavoring their water. If you do offer a type of flavored water, please make sure to always offer plain water as well.

I do apologize for my slow communication times this past week, as it has been full of emergencies. I’m planning on responding back to everyone within the next day🤞🏼

My sincere condolences to my clients and to anyone else who has lost their best friend during this time 🤍

Talk about a full circle moment 😍

Yesterday evening I had the privilege of talking to AUCVM AAEP club about starting a business as a large animal veterinarian. They asked so many great questions. I hope that I was able to inspire these soon to be veterinarians to continue into the large animal work and to potentially open a business of their own!

Vaccinations Part ✌🏼

Non Core, also known as "Risk Based" vaccinations, include rhino/flu, strangles, equine herpes virus, botulism, Potomac Horse Fever, Rotavirus, and more! 💉

What makes this "risk based", is dependent on the area you live in will determine if these vaccinations are prevelant. They are also in this category because there is a high infectious rate with them, but a low mortality rate (therefore not a core vaccine)🦠

In Alabama/Georgia the two most common are Rhino/Flu and strangles

Rhino/Flu: highly contagious virus that is spread through contact and the air, vaccination is KEY to prevention

Strangles: the infectious rate (or morbidity) is 100%, meaning that it is an extremely contagious bacteria. Even if a horse appears "recovered" from the virus, they can still shed bacteria for 4-6 weeks or longer

Please call/text to discuss setting up an appointment to get your horse vaccinated!📱🗓

Heartworm tests are in❤️🩸
(And Koda is happy with his negative test, as am I 🥳)

It is important that at least once a year your dog is tested for heartworms, as this can be a very detrimental infection

A lot of farms also have dogs and cats as well; therefore, I do offer routine vaccinations, fecals and heartworm tests to help keep all of your animals healthy

Call, text or email to inquire more information or to setup an appointment 📱🗓

Vaccinations 💉🩸

Vaccines fall into two categories: Core vs Non-Core (risk based)

Core vaccines include rabies, West Nile virus, Eastern and Western Equine encephalomyelitis and tetanus
These are all potentially fatal diseases and due to the high fatality rates is why they are considered "Core"

🐾Rabies: Transmitted by a bite from an infected animal, while it is not as common, the consequence of the disease is why
🦟West Nile: Transmitted by mosquitoes, has the lowest mortality rate out of the five core diseases/vaccines
🦟Eastern and Western Equine Encephalomyelitis: Transmitted by mosquitoes, dependent on your area, it can be recommended to adminster every 6 months
🩹Tetanus: Caused by Clostridium tetani, wounds are the most common way of exposure

Please call/text to discuss setting up an appointment to get your horse (or other animals) vaccinated! 📞🗓

The next post will discuss non-core (risk based vaccination)

First auction ✔️

Why are veterinarians needed at auctions?
For various reasons!
Horse auctions, which will also include donkeys and mules, require a coggins. 🐴

What are coggins? Why is it such a big deal for horses to have it done yearly?
“Coggins” is the name of the blood test performed to check for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA). 🩸
EIA is a potentially fatal blood born disease that is transmitted by biting flies. 🪰
Once a horse is infected, they are infected with it lifelong and sadly there are no treatments nor vaccinations for it.
Therefore, due to its way of transmission and no prevention, it is extremely important for testing to be performed yearly to identify and remove carriers to prevent an outbreak.

Book an appointment to get your horse tested for coggins! Auctions, feel free to call and discuss rates and scheduling!

“Why?”

A question that is repeatedly ask. Why start up a new business? Why start a business right out of school? Why do you think this is a good idea?

So many questions, but a very simple answer. I want to be able to serve the community and the animals of it to my full ability.

From talking with many people in the area, they are only a few mobile veterinarians. Large animal veterinarians are hard to come by nowadays it is long hours, sometimes very little pay off and we hear the stories of other veterinarians that were in this field but then became a small animal veterinarian for numerous reasons.

I knew once I earned my degree I wanted to help people in whatever way I could. I knew I wanted to go into large animal. And I knew I wanted to use my knowledge, compassion, understanding for the greater good.

Therefore, through many parking lot prayers and a huge support system, I opened Double M Veterinarian, large animal ambulatory service (with some small animal services😉).

My goals are too:
Serve the community
Serve the animals both large and small
Educate owners and help them in anyway
Relief of animal suffering
And so much more

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to schedule an appointment or ask questions. Thank you to those who don’t know me, but have trusted me with your animals health. Thank you to all of those that have shared my posts and continue to spread word. I cannot show nor express my gratitude and appreciation enough. ❤️
