F***l Water Syndrome.... what's the catch?

There is so much to gut health and f***l consistency in horses. In general, its important to know if the stool is all liquid (aka diarrhea) or formed stool with extra fluid or ("f***l water").

Any liquid stool is never normal. F***l water issues can be attributed to poor gut health, GI ulceration, dorsal colitis, microbial disbiosis, dental disease, inappropriate diet, foreign material (aka sand) in the gut, etc.

If your horse has some unusual "leakage", you need a veterinary exam!

And remember, true "Diarrhea" (all liquid p**p) is an emergency in horses!

We had a great day with a couple second year vet students looking for some hands on equine experience! Luckily I have a few horses myself who were in need of joint injections, dentals, and xrays!

Hands on horses. This is how students learn, you can't remote learn these types of skills! If you ever see students along, please know that this is how young vets learn and its very important for the horse industry that we support them!

The MU equine field service offers students an opportunity to take an extra elective rotation on the trucks, giving them more time to learn ambulatory medicine. As part of the elective, we ask our students to create an informational equine-oriented social media post.

Thank you to Caroline Shaw, a senior veterinary student, for this post on Laminitis!

I am so proud of this pony and his weight loss progress! Pnut got a jump start this spring with 3 months of a SGLT2 inhibitor and then continued dietary change. He is looking awesome this summer!

Chief is 2 weeks post op from his enucleation and feeling fresh as a 2 year old stud c**t!

He even felt good enough to get into trouble with a new laceration for his team LOTO Connections Ranch to treat!

Chief is absolutely the most inspirational old horse and continues to be a testament to how amazing geriatric horses can do with the correct care.

Damaged and blind eyes should ALWAYS be removed if the horse is healthy enough for the procedure. Remember these horses are stoic but they ARE in pain.

A gift this morning

" Flemmings Vest Pocket Veterinary Advisor"

Circa 1919

The basics are largely unchanged! I'd say treatment options have expanded though!

We had a great example this week of why you should always consider baseline hoof x-rays! This mare is 16 and has a history of bruising intermittently in her hind feet. She is being brought back into work and will be sore intermittently. She historically also does have a tendency to get abscesses in her hind feet as well.

From her exam, it was obvious she has very little heel length and places a far too much weight directly on her heel bulbs. X-rays show how truly "off" her hoof angles are!

This is a dramatic example of a severely negative palmar angle (also called an "Under Run Heel"). The excessive length of her toe and low heel confirmation has progressively worsened over several years to the point that her heel has essentially been worn completely off. Just imagine walking on those sensitive heel bulbs with no solid hoof wall to support you! Ouch! In addition, her soles in general are excessively soft and thin which is not helping her overall hoof condition.

Vegas has already been started on a quality hoof supplement and will initiate corrective farrier work and shoeing with the aid of her x-rays. With the proper support, heel elevation, reduced toe length, and sole protection, She will be much more comfortable and with time, her angles will improve!

Huge thanks to Vegas's Mom for letting us share her Story and for advocating for her girl's comfort!
