Lyme disease can be tricky to diagnose - here is some information from AAEP!

WARMER WEATHER = TICK SEASON! 📢

As the weather warms up, ticks are becoming more active — which clearly means more chances for your horses (or yourself and your family pets) to encounter this parasite. Despite their diminutive size and appearance, ticks are highly equipped to carry and transmit many serious diseases including Equine Piroplasmosis, Lyme Disease, Equine Granulocytic Anaplasmosis (Ehrlichiosis) and Tick Paralysis, so tick control remains an important management practice for horse owners.

Because ticks infected with serious diseases do not usually transmit those pathogens immediately and often must feed for a period of time before disease transmission, removing them from your horse as soon as possible is important. Check your horses for ticks thoroughly after a ride, and at least daily if they’re out on pasture in order to prevent disease transmission.

From a pasture management perspective, you can decrease the number of ticks your horse may pick up by removing brush and mowing tall grass where ticks like to live and discouraging wildlife such as deer that tend to reintroduce ticks to grazing areas.

Additional facts about Lyme disease in horses is available on the�Equine Disease Communication Center's website at: https://www.equinediseasecc.org/lyme-disease

And as always, if you have questions on tick control or the diseases they can transmit to your horses, talk to your local horse doctor!

It's SPRING! 🌼🌸
Busy season is here! Toby was shocked when he saw the amount of f***l egg counts that Gail and Kaleigh can run in-house in a single day.
Call the office to schedule your spring appointments. Just as a heads up, we are booking several weeks out right now. We are busy - but we are so grateful to have such a great clientele that keep us on our toes!

Warmer weather is coming! 🌻Don't forget to call and schedule your spring vaccinations.
We tend to get a bit busy this time of year, so we recruited Toby to help us with some of the billing.

We're getting into foaling season!
Here is some good info from the American Association of Equine Practitioners. We like to see these guys for an exam within 12-24 hours of being born, assuming there are no complications beforehand!
