Parasite and deworming myths!
1. Labels of dewormers contain accurate information about which worms they kill.
2. Rotating deworming products decreases resistance.
3. You should deworm and then move to a fresh paddock.
4. Harrowing kills infective larvae .
5. Frost kills larvae
6. You should wait until the first frost to deworm for bots.
Parasite control strategies should be tailored to your property and horses’ specific needs. We’re very happy to discuss plans to suit which not only reduce the risk of anthelmintec resistance but save you money!

This week we wish a very special person farewell 😭 The incredible Dr Alanna Zantingh (and her lovely husband Mike and fur baby Yeti) will be on her way back home to Canada next month, but this Friday will be her last day at CEH.
Words cannot describe how integral to the team Alanna has been, surgical skills aside, she has been sooooo much more to us all.
We wish her all the very best and hope our paths cross again in the not too distant future.

The clinic will continue to offer full surgical services from now and until we will have the wonderful Dr Sharon Jeong returning in a few months to take the surgical reins.

We are going to make this week an Alanna appreciation week so please feel free to share any amazing/funny stories you have about her!!

🐴 🎉 Today is the day we celebrate World Veterinary Day. 🎉🐴
The theme for this year, announced by the World Veterinary Association, is "Animal health takes a team," which highlights the field's collaborative nature. It focuses on the importance of teamwork in veterinary care, acknowledging that effective veterinary services often rely on the collective efforts of a range of professionals, including veterinary nurses, technicians, researchers, and other allied health professionals.

At Cambridge Equine Hospital we strongly agree and resonate with this theme. On a daily basis we experience collaboration to achieve good outcomes for our clients and patients. Whether it's collaborating with vets, nurses and support staff from within our clinic, vets from other clinics (both in NZ and globally), locums who help us for seasonal work, farriers, rehabilitation facilities, allied health professionals, we can not do our job and care for our patients on our own.

Thank you so very much to everyone who helps us along the way, and especially to our wonderful team of Vets, this day is for you.

Poisoning prevention!
Ahead of the windy autumn weather be aware of two trees that are very common and extremely poisonous to horses. Sycamore and box elder trees contain a toxin called Hypoglycin A in their seeds and leaves. It causes severe damage to muscles including heart and diaphragm and has a more than 70% mortality rate. Cases are more common in autumn when the helicopter-like seeds are dispersed, especially in the wind. If they drop into water that can be a source of toxin. It’s safest to keep horses away from these trees in Autumn. Also be aware if horses show signs of weakness, trembling or are found down. Red urine is another sign of muscle damage. These horses need emergency care and fluids, but prognosis is still poor. We have treated several of these and it’s heart breaking for everyone.

Tetanus vaccination! Who knows how long each of these products protects a horse from tetanus infection? Tetanus can arise from wounds, navel infections, surgery, wolf tooth removal and even where there is no obvious reason and is generally expensive to treat and fatal. There is a lot of confusion about vaccination amongst horse owners and as to what “a tetanus shot” is or does. In an unvaccinated horse, does “a tetanus shot” given when there’s a wound mean the horse is vaccinated, and how for long does it protect the horse?
