๐Ÿ **Fall Is Around the Cornerโ€”Is Your Horse Ready?** ๐Ÿด

As the seasons begin to change, it's the perfect time to make sure your horse is protected before heading into fall. Cooler temperatures don't mean disease risks disappear, and staying current on vaccinations is one of the best ways to keep your horse healthy.

๐Ÿ‚ **Fall Health Tips:**
โœ… Schedule your horse's fall wellness exam and vaccinations early.
โœ… Review your horse's vaccination program based on travel, boarding, shows, and exposure risks.
โœ… If your horse **missed their spring Potomac Horse Fever (PHF) vaccine**, now is an excellent time to vaccinate. We commonly see **PHF cases later in the summer and into early fall**, so protection is especially important this time of year.
โœ… Ask about f***l testing and deworming recommendations to help maintain your horse's overall health.
โœ… Stock up on any medications or supplements your horse may need before the busy fall season.

๐Ÿ“… Fall appointments fill quickly, so don't wait until the last minute! Call Cross River Veterinary Service today to schedule your horse's fall wellness visit and vaccinations.

Healthy horses start with preventive care! ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ

A gastroscopy is the only way to directly visualize the upper gastrointestinal tract of the horse. While it's most commonly used to diagnose gastric ulcers, it can identify several other conditions as well.

Why is gastroscopy important?

Gastroscopy helps veterinarians:

โœ”๏ธ Confirm whether ulcers are present.
โœ”๏ธ Determine the type and severity of ulcers.
โœ”๏ธ Select the most appropriate treatment and duration.
โœ”๏ธ Avoid unnecessary medication if ulcers aren't the cause.
โœ”๏ธ Monitor healing with follow-up examinations when indicated.

Signs that may warrant a gastroscopy include:

โœ”๏ธ Poor performance
โœ”๏ธ Weight loss or difficulty maintaining condition
โœ”๏ธ Poor appetite or picky eating
โœ”๏ธ Girthiness or sensitivity when tacking up
โœ”๏ธ Behavioral changes
โœ”๏ธ Mild or recurrent colic
โœ”๏ธ Poor coat condition
โœ”๏ธ Teeth grinding or excessive salivation (less common)
โœ”๏ธ Foals with poor nursing, excessive lying down, or colic signs

Don't guessโ€”scope with confidence.

If your horse missed their spring PHF vaccine, now is a good time to vaccinate. We typically see an increase in Potomac Horse Fever cases later in the summer and into early fall, making this an important time to provide protection.

Why Vaccinate NOW?
Vaccinating your horse ahead of fall gives them time to build protection before peak risk season begins. The PHF vaccine significantly reduces the chances of infectionโ€”and can make symptoms much milder if your horse is exposed.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธDuring your fall visit, we'll also review your horse's vaccination needs based on their lifestyle, travel schedule, and risk factors to help keep them healthy year-round.

๐Ÿ“… Appointments fill quickly as fall approaches, so give us a call to get your horse on the schedule!

Questions about which vaccines your horse needs? We're always happy to help.

The most common vaccines that we recommend giving in the fall protect against the following diseases: Potomac Horse Fever, Influenza (Flu), Rhinopneumonitis (EHV-1/4), and Botulism.
