All domestic horses have some level of internal parasite load, and anthelmintic medicine or “dewormers” are given to help manage these loads to avoid undesirable health issues that can accompany large parasite populations.

Unfortunately, some parasites have become resistant to current drug classes (there are only three main drug classes), making the drugs less effective. Steps to slow the rate of resistance must be implemented to ensure drugs remain effective.

Working with your vet to create a targeted deworming plan is less work, cost-effective, and more efficient than the old rotational approach. We strongly advocate the use of fecal-egg-count-based deworming to reduce the development of parasite resistance and administration of unnecessary medication.

Also, remember that effective manure management plays a role in parasite control, as parasites are primarily transmitted through manure.

Contact Starwood Equine at 650-275-3091 for an appointment to discuss your deworming protocol today!

Pigeon Fever is a bacterial infection that can cause abscesses and/or lymphangitis. The bacteria live in soil, and horses become infected through cuts, scrapes, or insect bites. Infection typically causes large, pus-filled abscesses in the pectoral (chest) muscles, along the midline, or on the limbs, sometimes resembling a pigeon’s breast. Less common forms include internal abscesses and ulcerative lymphangitis.

There’s no practical way to remove the bacterium from soil, so prevention and containment are essential. Early recognition, proper wound care, and strong biosecurity measures protect your herd. Affected horses and nearby barn mates should have good fly control and maintain environmental hygiene to reduce the risk of spread.

Having your veterinarian administer vaccines is always safer, easier, and a better value in the long run.

Benefits for your horse when a veterinarian administers vaccines include:

- Safe and Accurate Administration
- Proper Handling of the Vaccine
- Documentation for Manufacturer Guarantee
- Vaccination Protocol Tailored to Your Horse
- Availability for Treatment of Adverse Reactions

Veterinarians are keenly aware of the effective life of a given vaccine. They know the best time of year to vaccinate and whether vaccinations would react with any medications being administered to the horse.

In the event of a manufacturer’s recall, It’s important to have documentation of vaccines and when they’ve been given. Any injection can result in adverse effects. A veterinarian will know what to do to counteract a reaction.

Call the Starwood Equine Office today to discuss your vaccination protocol. 650-275-3091.

Respiratory health is key to your horse’s performance. Even mild airway inflammation or obstruction can affect stamina and recovery.

Equine asthma is the blanket term for several respiratory diseases that impact a horse’s breathing. This newer term includes conditions once called heaves, inflammatory airway disease (IAD), recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Diagnosing equine asthma can be challenging because symptoms often fluctuate, influenced by seasonal changes and environmental factors. Early signs are easy to miss, and horses that are predisposed may develop asthma when exposed to triggers such as dust, pollen, mold, or ammonia from urine.

Successful management requires teamwork with your veterinarian to rule out infection, identify triggers, and make environmental changes. It is also important to remember that respiratory signs can be caused by infectious diseases. Staying current on vaccinations helps protect horses from viruses that cause respiratory illness.
