Info on “choke” in 🐴
While it’s a common equine emergency, espophageal obstruction (“choke”) can look alarming, especially if you've never seen it before. Unlike in human medicine, where choking refers to a tracheal (or windpipe) obstruction, choke in horses refers to an obstruction of the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
Most commonly, choking occur when horses eat concentrated feed too quickly without chewing it appropriately, which results in a firm bolus lodged in the animal's esophagus. However, esophageal obstruction can also occur with hay or straw, hard treats, carrots, or nonfood objects. Poor dentition, which leads to inadequate chewing, is also a frequent cause of choke.
While common, chokes can have serious consequences so be sure to call your veterinarian as soon as you notice signs of choke. A bad choke is fairly obvious to both veterinarians and horse owners, but a mild choke could be confused with an upper respiratory tract infection or colic.

Last week, we won 3rd place in the Blackhawks Homecoming parade with our Scooby Doo float. Theme was cartoons.
For our cattle producers/clients, please attend this informational meeting on an emerging disease found in Sanborn County. RSVP if you will be attending.
This is your reminder to have your health certificates done today or tomorrow for the fair. Our Vet will be away from the clinic Saturday morning!
We had so much fun detecting pregnancy in this Guinea pig named Miss Puff. See the arrows below to see the pups. ⬇️
✖️Did you know the gestation in guinea pigs is 59-72 days? A female can give birth up to 5 litters a year!

School is right around the corner, and that means backpacks, lunch boxes, morning medicine routines and a load of other opportunities for pets to get into things that are off limits.
PSA: As of July 1st, we have NOT been accepting NEW clients for the reason that we have recently lost a veterinarian and our current staff is doing their best to cover the workload during and after business hours. We hope this is only temporary but we decided it was the best move to provide the best care for our patients and clients we have now. You are important to us. And so are our family members and animals that are home waiting for us. ❤️
For non-clients: this isn’t because we don’t want your business. We would love to be able to help every animal and person, but that just isn’t feasible. So PLEASE be kind and don’t criticize when we have to you let you down gently. It honestly disappoints us too when we “can’t do it all”.
Thanks to those who have been super understanding during all this.

🎶 Happy Birthday to you….🎶
Wishing our tech Abi a very Happy Birthday! We hope you are spending it with your fur babies 🐾
From just doing an externship and then ending up working full time through the summer, Dilyn Brooks has been with us at SCAC as a technician. Two things for sure—she knows her animals and is a fast learner! We had a pizza party on her last day. Enjoy your final year of school, Dilyn!

Dr. Dave has a problem… 🙃

Super interesting article! A study was done that proved dogs can accurately detect healthy people vs people with cancer by the scent of their saliva. 🐶 are amazing animals!

A bittersweet moment for us here at SCAC. The Schultz family hosted a going-away party on Dr. Conner’s last day. Oh how he will be missed! Wherever you go Conner you will do amazing things!

Ruminants are amazing creatures!
Ruminants are amazing creatures, but what does being a ruminant mean? Ruminants are ungulates (2-toed) animals that chew a regurgitated cud. In order to chew their cud, they must have a specific type of stomach -- a rumen. Our domesticated ruminants have 1 stomach with 4 awesome compartments.
1. Rumen - The 1st chamber is the biggest and can be bigger than 30 gallons in a mature cow! The rumen has a "shaggy" carpet feel/look with papillae that flow back and forth (think seaweed moving in the ocean). The rumen is filled with "bugs" and has its own ecosystem of bacteria and yeast to break down forages.
2. Reticulum -- This 2nd chamber is a smaller outcropping of the rumen and has "cups" like a honeycomb pattern to catch the food for digestion.
3. Omasum - The 3rd part is a tight basketball shaped compartment in adult cattle with many "pages" of a book. The food weaves back and forth, absorbing water and drying out the ingesta.
4. Abomasum - The 4th compartment is like our human stomach. The ingesta is rehydrated with acid for the final digestion before the intestines.
Check out what they look like!
You may know this old man, but you would never know by looking at him that he has saved hundreds of lives by being our blood donor here at Sand Creek Animal Clinic. Well, R***r can officially say his job is done (& a good job he did) and he’s now in retirement. 🥳
Thank you R***r for your service!! We will never be able to give you enough treats to make up for all you’ve done for your fellow canine friends. 🐾
P.S. You should still see him roaming around the clinic at times or napping in the office. Please make sure to rub his belly and tell that “he’s the best” ( & of course, Happy Retirement 🎉).
