MyAnimalRX, the pharmacy platform used by Mobile Vet will be down for maintenance from 5pm on Thursday, July17- 10am on Sunday, July 20.

Why do we use MyAnimalRX as our preferred pharmacy provider???
MyAnimalRX supports small business. They allow Mobile Vet to run our own platform, with the support of our distributor, MWI. This allows our staff to monitor costs and assure that our clients are paying the lowest price out there while keeping more dollars out of corporate pharmacies.

Thank you to all the hard working folks keeping our horses moving!!

It’s ! Let’s take a moment to celebrate and thank our farriers!

Proper foot care is the cornerstone of maintaining a sound horse, and a good farrier is an essential part of your equine's healthcare team, keeping your horse’s feet balanced and well-supported. Farriers and veterinarians often work together for the best interests of the horse, so a skilled farrier is both a necessity and a tremendous asset. Be sure to let your farriers know they are appreciated!

A Day in the Veterinary Life: On Call For over 2 decades, I have been on call.  No, not continually, but it is very much part of my life and “normal.”  That said, nothing about being on call is normal.  I often say that one of the things I love most about being an equine veterinarian is that ...

Independence Day is just around the corner. Do you have an anxious horse? It is time to plan ahead. Be sure you talk to your veterinarian for homeopathic and prescription recommendations for anxious equines.

A horse that has been diagnosed with EMS and is at higher risk for Laminitis will need life long management. Just because symptoms are being managed does not mean the horse is "healed", even with management the underlying cause is still present.

A podiatrist gives his tips for keeping a horse with chronic laminitis and equine metabolic syndrome comfortable.

This article is written by Dr. Chappel from Merck Animal Health. Mobile Veterinary Services has a long history using predominately Merck vaccine. Great research and strong personal relationships with the tech service team from Merck is a benefit for MVS clients.
Illness happens. Vaccination reduces the severity and duration of disease.
ALL horses, not just quarter horses can get sick and all horses should be vaccinated. The MVS docs recommend clients work with their veterinarian to develop a tailored vaccine protocol to keep their equids safe and healthy.

A new study from the Equine Respiratory Biosurveillance Program shows that the Quarter Horse is most commonly infected with equine influenza virus.

Most folks admire the equine
They assume he’s resilient and strong
He runs all around
Always healthy and sound
But the common man’s thinking is wrong

Majestic? Sure. And for flat-out brawn
The horse has impressive amounts
But sorrel, buckskin or roan
They are all accident prone
And do their best to drain my account

When my mare has a temp, I want to shout
Hello, vet? Please! Just cure what ails her
But then, Whoa! Stop the clock
You gotta understand, doc
That bill’s more than my horse AND trailer

Infections and proud flesh and a deep rooted cough
The unknown is always the worst
Back to the vet
What did I expect?
This colt’s an ATM ... in reverse

Packing a leg? Gah. Of course he is
So I worry and I fret and I stress
A broken leg I fear
But I jump up and cheer
When I find out it’s just an abscess

Bumps, bruises, infections and wounds
EPM, EHV for Pete’s sake!
Please don’t kick and frolic
You’ll get too hot and colic
Why can't you cut me a break?

Every so often, all the snags smooth right out
There’s no lameness or vet bills or sickness
But that spell always ends
Whoops! A colic again
That’s fine, my kids don’t need a Christmas

If it goes too long and your money adds up
Or you’ve got way more time than before
Go buy the best horse you know
And then enter a show
That’s sure to make one come up sore

I stand, cash in hand, on the phone with the vet
He says “Kel, now what have you got?”
Well, he has a fixed humpback
His head bobs like a pump jack
Each time he swings into a trot

I guess I need to cut down on my numbers
To have one or two horses makes sense
So when plastic blows by
From way out of the sky
Fewer horses pile into the fence

I’ll wrap them in plastic and keep them shut up
In a soft spot, with no room to roam
Kept in a padded stall?
Wouldn’t that beat all!
They’d chew up and choke on the foam.
-Kelly Neubert, Western Horseman

A reminder for all clients. Medications come with risks and side effects. Before giving your horse medication, please consult with your veterinarian. Even our most common medications can be and are administered inappropriately by well meaning owners.
As an example, Injectable Banamine was once, MANY years ago given in the muscle via intramuscular injection. However, it was noted that these injections were commonly associated with clostridial miositis. These infections were painful and in cases life threatening to the horse. The Banamine label still lists intramuscular injection as an acceptable administration. This is FALSE. Injectable Banamine should ONLY be given in the vein. Banamine should NEVER be given in the muscle of a horse. Many owners are unable to give IV injections and should leave this to their equine professionals.
We often see clients that have left over antibiotics, begin treatment for snotty noses, coughs and gooey lacerations.
In an effort to prevent antibiotic resistance you should always follow veterinary directions by completing antibiotics with proper dosing, as prescribed by your veterinarian. If you have left over antibiotics, chances are you have misdosed somewhere along the way.
Don't hesitate to call or email your veterinarian to ask about proper drug use in your horse.
