What is that Wednesday!
Essential Oils are used year round for their healing and comforting aromas, but especially around the holidays, as many people use them to enhance the smell of their Christmas tree, create potpourri, and diffuse throughout the home. Did you know CATS are especially sensitive to Essential Oils? While dogs can also be affected by certain Essential Oils, cats in particular lack an enzyme in their body to manage the oils, which can lead to liver damage and even failure. Check out our friends at Pet Poison Helpline and their awesome articles detailing the danger of pets and exposure to Essential Oils.

What is Equine Herpesvirus (EHV)?

You've probably heard it called Rhinopneumonitis, a respiratory tract disease that results in "snotty noses," but EHV is more than that. Depending on the strain, this virus can also cause abortion in broodmares, and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) — the often-deadly neurologic form of the disease.

Because EHV is endemic in many equine populations, most mature horses have developed some immunity through repeated natural infection. However, they remain a source of infection for other susceptible horses, like weaned foals and yearlings, who usually display symptoms of the respiratory form of the disease in autumn and winter. Performance and show horses are also more vulnerable to the disease, as they commingle with unfamiliar equines in close quarters while under stress from travel and competition.

Proper biosecurity protocols can help reduce EHV outbreaks and other disease transmission. A variety of vaccines are also available for protection against both the respiratory and abortive form of the disease, but there is no equine licensed vaccine at this time that has a label claim for protection against the neurologic form (EHM).

Consult your primary equine veterinarian to learn more about this disease and work with them to determine the optimal vaccine protocol for your horses.

You can learn more about all three forms on the Equine Disease Communication Center's website here: https://equinediseasecc.org/infectious-diseases

In order for us to provide medications (including most vaccines) to our cattle clients, we need to have a valid veterinary client patient relationship, otherwise known as a VCPR. This is easily established when we are on farm for other reasons, and preg checking season is a perfect excuse to get it done! A simple conversation for our long standing clients, and for our newer producers, a quick questionaire and walk through is enough. Take advantage while our vets and Chelsie, RVT are on farm this fall and get your VCPR's up to date.

This time of year is a busy one for our mixed animal veterinarians, as they are outside on farm testing cows for pregnancy! Generally performed with an ultrasound, our vets can inform a producer if their cow is pregnant, and with some additional information, when they may be due to calve.
How does pregnancy testing increase the efficiency of a herd? Cows that aren't cycling correctly or not becoming pregnant the way they should are not ideal to keep within the herd. Sometimes the veterinarians can detect issues with the reproductive organs in cows, helping producers make the best decisions for their herd overwinter.

🐾 Meet Lasagna – Our New Clinic Kitty! 🐾

We’re so excited to introduce Lasagna, the newest (and furriest) member of our clinic family!

Lasagna is an adventurous guy who’s already busy exploring every nook and cranny of his new home. Lasagna has some big paws to fill, following in the footsteps of our beloved clinic cats, Hemi and W***y, but he’s already proving to be up for the challenge.

If you spot him wandering around, be sure to say hello and give him a gentle scratch — he loves the attention!

Welcome home, Lasagna! 🧡🐾

Happy Halloween from our team of CVH Ghosties - Hemi, W***y and Big Boy. We don't have any clinic cats to dress up this year and we sure miss that tradition (they probably don't!), but we know they're walking amongst us, begging for treats, ripping open food bags, and keeping our overnight hospitalized patients company. Here are just a few memories of our friendly clinic ghosts. Have some pics of your pet's dressed up for Halloween? Comment below!

With Halloween tomorrow, let's take a moment to consider our furry friends' safety.
🎃 Make sure they have their collars on and tags with current phone numbers.
🎃 Avoid sharing any human treats as they can contain ingredients dangerous to your pets.
🎃 And last but not least, keeping them inside and at home is always safest during this fun holiday, as increased foot and vehicle travel can pose a significant safety risk.
