📢📢📢📢

📢 📢📢📢 Attention horse owners in our area!

There’s been a few recent reports of other DVM’s seeing positive cases of West Nile Virus in their equine patients!

Horses infected with the virus will exhibit neurological symptoms such as hind end weakness/stumbling (ataxia), trembling, walking in circles and fine muscle tremors (like in the facial area). These will likely appear to come on suddenly!

WNV is not spread from horse to horse. It must be carried by an infected mosquito or flying, biting insect.

Please make sure your horses are up to date on the West Nile vaccine. While vaccinated horses can still contract WNV, the outcome is far better than those that are unvaccinated. If you do notice a sudden onset of neurological symptoms, please get them to your primary veterinary team ASAP.

Sad news from our Pryor Vet Family this week.

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Dr. Steve Letzig. He passed from this life over the weekend.

Dr. Steve Letzig, DVM, graduated from veterinary school in 1976 and came to work at Pryor Veterinary Hospital for Dr. Tony Fell and Dr. Jerry Jaggers. He spent his entire career at PVH and retired in 2018. Dr. Letzig was personally responsible for the growth and success of the small animal portion of the clinic. It grew tremendously during the forty plus years that he was here.

Dr. Letzig had the type of personality that made work fun. He was quick witted, high energy, and hard working. He was the king of the wise cracks! Everyone that worked with him has many “Steve stories” they could tell you. Steve was a person that you couldn’t stay mad at because he always had you laughing. Steve kept this attitude even during his last days.

We lost a great friend, veterinarian, and mentor. We will miss him greatly but we know he is rejoicing in heaven with his wife, Susan, whom he loved so dearly.

Pryor Vet and Pryor Vet South will be CLOSED this Saturday (3/16) so that we may honor Steve’s life as a family.

March is Pet Poison Prevention month.

If you suspect your pet to have gotten into poison (especially medications) it is super helpful to have the information from the poison hotline. It saves your veterinary team valuable time to start treating immediately.

We are seeing a significant amount of Johnson Grass toxicosis. This is a very fast process which causes clinical signs and death rapidly after ingestion of plant in the right conditions. Prusic Acid toxicosis and Cynonide toxicosis are other names for this terrible condition. We are seeing it in hay meadows that have been recently harvested and the Johnson Grass is coming up as the first return growth. This is the most toxic time to turn cattle out on it. The Grass is most toxic in early growth stage and drought conditions. This Grass is usually shorter than your knee in height. As the plant matures the toxicity decreases. Recently mowed ditches are also a common source.

There is a antidote but the process is so fast that most of the time it is too late.

There is a test for the Grass to determine if it is toxic but not 100% safe sense some areas of a field maybe more toxic than others. Therefore the gathered samples may not be representing the entire field. To do the test gather the leaf portion of the plants that are shorter than your knee in height. Put them in a 1 gallon zip lock bag. Seal it up and bring it to the clinic for testing.

Other recommendations are to turn out 1 or 2 animals on the field and watch for toxic signs while antidote is available.

The toxin does not stay active in the hay. As the plant dies and becomes totally dry the Cynonide goes away.
