ETA: We should have access to the phone so try the mainline first. Then if that doesn't work try these secondary options. We are having to forward the line to another number so hopefully it works.

Our phones are currently down. If your horse is experiencing a life threatening emergency please try to message us through our page or text us at 717-360-6035. We will do our best to catch the messages. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I may quit my day job to start marketing a new skincare line. Nothing is better for the skin than fetal fluids, placenta and blood. I'm sure those stem cells are absorbing through this 40 year old skin. I'll be rejuvenated in no time. Who needs sleep, hydration and SPF when you have this! If you have curly hair, it also seconds as a great way to define those curls. You'll also smell outstanding with no artificial perfumes added!

All joking aside, equine dystocias suck. You almost always lose the foal, they are exhausting, you get disgusting, my arms are covered in bruises the next day, the mares tend to retain their placentas, and on and on. Luckily mares are usually really good at having their foals so we don't see too many of these each year.

But these are a risk of raising foals, and sometimes you lose the mare also. So if you are thinking of breeding your mare make sure you are aware of all the risks to your mare AND what it takes to get that foal to 3-4 years of age.

Offering Haul In Appointments with Dr Oliver has been a great success. We have made many upgrades to the outside of the building to make these appointments run smoother.

When arriving for your appointment, please pull in front of the building and come inside to check in with front office staff. Once we are ready for your appointment, you will be directed to pull around back and unload your horse. We ask that you do not pull directly around back or unload your horses until you have spoken to a staff member. This will keep everyone safe in case there is another appointment still in progress when you arrive. The area around the building will be one way for trailers to make things easier and keep a good flow of traffic. If you have any questions please let us know.

!!!!PSA!!!!

We have had a bunch of spammers commenting on our posts recently. And they then tag all of y'all. We will never try to sell you clothes in our comments. Some Prascend maybe 😝, but never any clothes. And it would be from the main account, not some random person in the comments. We deleted and blocked a bunch yesterday and another today. Please let me know ASAP if you get tagged in one of these.

I don't know Marjorie but I suspect she is a bot that has stolen someone else's profile picture. She obviously needs a job. Or maybe a hobby that isn't illegal.

Love y'all!

We are thrilled that when Dr Ott starts with us this June, she will be offering the below services!

What is Acupuncture, and what is TCVM?
• Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) is a complementary form of medicine that works alongside modern Western veterinary care, and encompasses treatments such as acupuncture and herbal treatments.
• Acupuncture involves stimulation of specific points at the junction of nerve pathways, blood vessels, and lymphatic ducts to:
• Improve blood flow
• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Support neurologic and musculoskeletal function
• Support healing, comfort, and performance
• While acupuncture is a great form of complementary medicine, it is not a replacement for diagnostics or conventional treatment— and it is best used in combination with current practices in veterinary medicine

Services I am able to offer
• Comprehensive TCVM Exams
• Includes full TCVM evaluation and acupuncture point scanning
• Dry Needle Acupuncture
• Electroacupuncture
• Aquapuncture
• Moxibustion
• Acupressure Massage (Tui-na)

Case Selection (just a few examples)
• Pain Management
• Back pain, muscle soreness, chronic discomfort (especially in aging horses)
• Performance Horses
• Stiffness during work
• Difficulty with collection, frame, or engagement
• Behavioral Disorders
• Horses with tension, anxiety, or “strong personalities.”
• Musculoskeletal Conditions
• Kissing spines
• Mild lameness without clear structural pathology
• Neurologic Conditions
• Shivers (with reported improvement in some cases)
• Facial nerve paralysis
• Urine dribbling
• Post-treatment support for EPM
• Reproductive Support
• Stallions: fertility support and breeding-related soreness
• And much more! Feel free to reach out if you have a horse you think could benefit from acupuncture or if you have questions about case selection.

Cases Typically Avoided
• Pregnant mares, due to the reported ability to cause abortion
• Extremely needle shy horses (acupressure massage can be an alternative)

Treatment Expectations
• Acupuncture is not a one-time treatment, and is most effective when it is performed regularly.
• Typical treatment regimen (horse specific, and can be different for every patient)
• Initial session
• Follow-up 5-7 days later
• Additional session 10–14 days later
• The interval between treatments increases as improvement is maintained. The goal is to eventually transition to maintenance treatments as needed (every few months)

There are many times we may receive calls about horses that are lame. Sometimes there are videos sent or Dr. Shannon may ask to see a video. There are a couple different things we are looking for when evaluating your horse's soundness and getting a good video can go a long way in helping us before we are able to make an appointment.

It is important to be able to get a clear video of your horse at the trot. Lunging both directions as well as trotting to and away from the camera in a straight line are both excellent ways to help get an idea of what may be going on with your horse.

In the video, you can see Raven trotting away from Dr. Oliver. She is in a nice straight line on a flat surface. She is moving forward and freely. She is on a stonedust pathway which allows us to clearly see her legs and feet.
