🐎☀️ Badminton ☀️🐎

Who else went to Badminton at the beginning of May?

Some members of the team went, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the sunshine they were treated with there 🙌🏼

They caught up with Rodway & Ali, who were working and on standby with the horse ambulance 🚑

Perfect weather for picnics and prosecco 🥂

🐴 Digby 🐴

Rowena and Ali visited this handsome chap recently to vet for the insurance, a dental and feet X-rays for the farrier 🩺

A head to toe visit - literally! 🦷🐎

He was a lovely boy, and very cooperative 🥰

Days like these we’re lucky to be out and about on visits, and live in such a beautiful area 🌞

Shetland Amy was the first pony to benefit from our new miniature dental gag and smaller bur 🐴

She had been a little fussy with her bit and her new jockey wanted to make sure everything was right before a summer of Pony Club fun 🐎

After we checked her heart was ok, she was given a tiny dose of sedation to allow her to relax for the dental 🩺💉

Don't forget that little ponies need regular dental checks as much as bigger horses 🦷

‼️ Important update about our Equine Gastroscopy Clinic ‼️

We can still offer our gastroscopy service, by attending the yard you keep your horse at 🐴

Please contact the practice if you would like more information, or to discuss with one of our vets about getting your horse scoped 📞01568 601300📞

🐴 Newborn Foal Checks 🐴

Take a look at this adorable foal that Kaz went out to health check 🩺

Kaz took a blood sample from the foal and ran a stable side test called IgG 🩸

Foal IgG testing measures immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels in foals to assess whether they have received enough antibodies from the mare's colostrum, ensuring a healthy start to their immune system. This testing is crucial because foals are born with no IgG of their own and rely entirely on passive transfer from colostrum 🦠

Her IgG result was within the normal range, so there was no need to do anything further 👌🏼

Well done to Mary on your foaling, we look forward to seeing ‘Rowena’ grow 🐎

Yes - they have named the foal Rowena 😆

Look at those temperatures 😍☀️😎

Perfect for a Bank Holiday weekend, right? Just make sure you bear in mind your equines with these soaring temperatures! 🐴

It’s important we do all we can to keep our horses, ponies and donkeys cool:
💦 Ensure they have access to a stable, field shelter or shade
💦 Regular hosing or sponging off with cool water
💦 Access to clean, fresh water

🏇🏽 Exercise them early morning, or in the evening when the temperatures are lower

☀️ Don’t forget to apply sun cream to any pink noses!!

🦠 Equine Influenza 🦠

As you may be aware, there have been new outbreaks of Equine Influenza reported in nearby Worcestershire 📍

Equine influenza (flu) is a fairly well known condition to many horse owner's because it is one of the most common vaccinations we give routinely, but are you familiar with the symptoms? 🩺

Equine flu is highly contagious & is spread through infected respiratory secretions - these can be in the air or on surfaces such as feed/water bowls, tack & stable equipment 🐴

Once infected; clinical signs tend to appear within 1-3 days. These signs can indude:
⭐️ A fever (sometimes up to 41.1 C!)
⭐️ A harsh, non-productive cough
⭐️ Clear nasal discharge
⭐️ Weakness/lethargy
⭐️ Swelling of the lymph nodes under the jaw
⭐️ Not wanting to eat

Typically, these signs will be short lived (
