Do you have a plan for the fireworks season? 🎇
Here are some things that you can do to help prepare your horses for bonfire night and weekend:

To stay out, or come in? 🏡
Decide if your horses are safer in the stable or out in the field. If they have lived outdoors most of their lives, they may be less stressed outside in their usual environment.

If you choose to bring them in, make management changes gradually ⏰
Abrupt and sudden management changes are a risk for colic; ensure you introduce changes gradually.

Make sure the stable is safe 🦺
Remove all obstacles that they could get stuck in or hurt themselves on, such as loose nails, flooring or toys.

Play the radio 📻
This can help cover up the noise of the fireworks. Introduce this to them prior to bonfire night so that they can get used to it.

Do they need an oral sedative? 💤
If your horse is particularly anxious or becomes a danger to themselves or to you, they can have an oral sedative. Please note that by law, horses must have been examined by a vet in the last 6 months to be prescribed an oral sedtaive.

Stay calm 🤍
If you stay calm, your horses are more likely to stay calm with you.

If you have any concerns or questions about your horses’ wellbeing during the firework season, please give us a call on 0161 643 7724 to discuss with one of our vets.

SYCAMORE POISONING IN HORSES 🌱🐴

There is an increase in cases of sycamore poisoning across the country. Please be extremely vigilant, horses should NOT be turned out into fields with sycamore trees in. Please check your pasture for sycamore trees, seeds and seedlings.

Sycamore ingestion in any form (seeds, seedlings and leaves) can lead to a fatal disease process: atypical myopathy.

Sycamore contains the toxin Hypoglycin-A, and when ingested this turns into a toxin that slows energy production in the heart and muscles.

Signs of atypical myopathy include:
Muscle stiffness
Sweating
Muscle tremors
Weakness
Depression
Dark urine
Breathing difficulties
Weakness

Excellent resource from the British Horse Society regarding sycamore poisoning:
https://www.bhs.org.uk/.../equine.../atypical-myopathy/

If you think your horse may have ingested sycamore in any form, please contact your vet immediately. We are available 24/7 on 0161 643 7724.

Are you and your horses ready for bonfire night? 🎇

If you know that your horse requires an oral sedative on bonfire night to keep them (and you) safe, please give us plenty of notice to get this medication prepared for you!

Please give the office a call on 0161 643 7724 if you would like to discuss the use of oral sedative with your vet.

***November Offers***

Have you had a new arrival this spring? Do you have a horse that requires a gastroscope?

We are running two offers this month:

For the month of November we are offering discounted procedures for your foals! 🐴

We are offering a 50% saving on microchips and passport applications / sketches.

Prices for these procedures during November are:
Microchip: £20
Passport sketch (Papers provided by owner): £15
Passport application (Papers provided by us): £22.50

Please note, if your foal requires a microchip, their dam must have up-to-date tetanus coverage. If they are not, tetanus antitoxin can be given for an additional fee.

*The visit fee is not included in the offer*

We are also bringing back our gastroscopy offer: £200 for a gastroscope!

You can save ✨£120✨ with our November offer where we are offering gastroscopy, (including the visit and sedation) for £200 (usual price £320).

A gastroscope primarily diagnoses gastric ulcers in horses. If your horse is showing signs of ulcers, then they may benefit from a gastroscope.
This is the perfect time to get them checked if they haven’t been performing as well as usual or you’ve had suspicions about EGUS!

Clinical signs of gastric ulcers include:
- Behavioural changes
- Discomfort when ridden
- Sore to palpate abdomen
- Mild recurrent colic
- Poor performance
- Weight loss
- Aggression around feeding
Please note: Does not include treatment.

If you would like to book your foal in for a microchip and/or passport, or your horse in for a gastroscope, please give the office team a call on 0161 643 7724.
