PSA Cold snap and preventing disease

1. Add salt to your horses diet
Add 1 TBSP of table salt to your horses feed daily during cold and hot periods to drive your horse to drink and help prevent impaction colic (a salt block is not enough).

2. If your horse is shivering, rug it with a windproof rug (not a summer rug). Each horse is different.

3. Pick your horses feet out daily to prevent stone bruises, hoof abscesses and thrush

4. If possible, move your horse to drier ground to prevent greasy heel / rain scald / dermatophilus

Hot weather advice

This week brings an increased risk of colic and heat stress
Foals, older horses and horses with cushings are most at risk.

Prevention
- Ensure & monitor water intake; always available and cool
- Provide all day shade
- Provide daily electrolytes (or add 2 tablespoons of table salt to hard feed/wet chaff daily) a salt lick is not enough
- Avoid exercise and travel where possible
- Monitor faecal output; look for changes in the number of poo piles, the size of faecal balls, and dryness of faecal balls
- Soak hay and provide extra water in hard feeds

First aid
- heat stress: hose horse with cool water continuously, use a fan if available, call vet
- Colic: unless actively rolling allow the horse to rest, call vet

All work this week requiring sedation and general anaesthesia has been rescheduled for the welfare of the horses.

If you are worried about your horse this week please reach out to me early!

Merry Christmas from our 2 and 4 legged family to yours!
Hope everyone had a lovely day 🎄

I will be taking a short break from tomorrow until the 4/1 but will have directions for alternatives on my voicemail in the unfortunate case of an emergency.

This is a vulnerable post and I hope it comes across the way I intend it to; a delicate warning and encouragement to educate your friends.

I saw a case on Friday that broke my heart and I told my husband about it through tears once home.

I was a second opinion on a school horse who has been kindly teaching beginner riders. She was of satisfactory weight and showed no outward signs of pain in her work.
Her owner had noticed a wound on her jaw that was discharging pus earlier in the year. She did the right thing and took her for a dental with someone who marketed themselves as knowledgeable in equine dental care. A ‘dental’ was performed but nothing else. On Friday during the exam with me she had a warm swollen jaw and was too painful to exam without nerve blocks. X-rays showed this poor mare had a fractured off tooth with the abscessed root of the tooth still in the jaw but desperately trying to exit the body. She also had 20mm overgrowths of teeth cutting the back of her mouth; these overgrowths take years to form. Her owner thought she was getting the care her mare needed but unfortunately her mare has suffered for months since the initial dental.

This is a reminder that there is a big difference between equine dental providers in experience, tools, legalities (eg non vets can not sedate, diagnose or remove teeth with anything but their fingers), registration/insurance and regulatory bodies.

I know I’m preaching to the converted with my followers but if you have any friends who may not be getting the best dental care for their horse please encourage them to do so. It absolutely does not have the be with me but I strongly encourage everyone to use an appropriately trained dental vet. This is a vet who has done extensive training after graduation focused solely on equine dental medicine and surgery; not just a vet who offers equine dentals.

These are a list of some I recommend within a few hours
- Dr Emma from Mainprize Veterinary Services (Gundagai)
- Dr Claire at CSU (Wagga)
- Dr Denis GVEH (Shepparton)
- Dr Allie Brindabella Equine Mobile Veterinary Servicesices (Yass)
- Dr Zoe Murray Valley Equine Dental Vet
- Dr Grace & Dr Angus Western Plains Veterinary Servicevice (Parkes / Narromine)

Photo below isn’t of the mare but of my first horse. ‘Flame’ is the main reason why I started and continue to do so much dental training. I was like the owner above, thinking I was doing the right thing but ‘Flame’ also had fractured teeth that were missed until I switched to a dental vet. Learn from our mistak
