Looking for an alternative to bran mash to help keep your horse warm and hydrated on these frigid days... consider making "sweet tea"! Mix a full or partial scoop of your horse's regular grain (electrolytes optional) with warm water. It is as easy as that. If your horse does not normally eat grain talk to your veterinarian about safe options for your individual horse. PRO TIP: start with less water to make a more concentrated tea and work up to more dilute tea for maximum water consumption. DON'T FORGET- Horses must always have access to plain, fresh water too. Feeding "sweet tea" does not replace normal access to water! Dr. Golden's horse Spider was more than happy to help make this post!

One of the first questions we ask clients when they call with a horse that isn't acting quite right is, "have you taken a temperature?" A thermometer should be part of every owner's first-aid kit. This video will show you how to safely take a rectal temperature on a horse. It is important to note that while most patients are very tolerant of the procedure some are not, and your safety is paramount! If you ever do not feel safe or the horse is threatening to kick, please do not continue trying.

This sweet mare showed Lauren some major appreciation during her laser therapy session. Licking and chewing are just some of the ways that horses express relaxation and release of tension. She is such a sweetheart! 😍

When the vet tech has great moves, but the patient just does not care! Grumpy Coggins photos it is then!

Understanding how the body works, at a fundamental level, is so important for diagnosing and appropriately treating the patient. The attached video does a great job describing how gastric ulcers form and how we are able to diagnose them with gastroscopy. Take a few minutes to watch it (best with sound). If you think your horse may be suffering from gastric ulcers please feel free to reach out to us to discuss further!

Happy Easter to our Northern Lakes Equine Practice family! Burro or Bunny? You decide!
