We are excited to announce that Dr. Kate and her family welcomed little Eli to their family last month. All are healthy and doing well. They are enjoying all the baby snuggles and look forward to introducing him to the community when they return from Minnesota mid June.

We have exciting news to announce! The Wild Acres Veterinary family is growing! Dr. Anderson is expecting! And her due date is quickly approaching (early April). She will be taking some time beforehand to rest and prepare for babe's arrival, so we are working hard to get everyone in to make sure they have an updated wellness before she goes on maternity leave. We are booking appointments now through March 14th. Get in now so our wonderful CVT, Bre, can continue to take care of your furry friends while Dr. Anderson is out on maternity leave, and don't forget to get your Bravecto for when those tiny biting pests start emerging next month! Please share and spread the word!!

Dr. Kate is participating in a wonderful program this year that is being offered through the American Association of Bovine Practioners. The program offers monthly meetings and an intense in-person training for practice management and ownership that will help her build a successful practice that can provide services to our clients and their animals for years to come. She finished the in-person training this week and is looking forward to bringing the ideas and inovation she gained by collaborating with colleagues, to best serve our community.

The last in-person AABP practice management workshop for the 2023 grant is currently being conducted this weekend at the AABP headquarters in Ashland, Ohio – the “Gouda” group is pictured here. The final workshop for the 2020 grant (3-year workshop) will be held in Ashland next weekend.

The grants, funded by the USDA-NIFA and workshops administered by AABP, have funded over 600 veterinarians on practice financial and human resources management since 2017. Three more groups will start in 2025; applications for these grants will open in the fall. Watch the AABP newsletters and page for announcements on how to participate!

Don't forget to pamper mom this weekend!

Mother’s Day is on Sunday! There are so many ways to say “thank you” and celebrate moms for all that they do, but the most common, go-to gift is a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Here are a few of our favorite flowers that are pet-safe too!

Dr. Kate looks forward to serving you and your animals when she returns

Hitting the road with your horse, either for pleasure or for business/competition?

Most horse owners know that a negative Coggins test is a must-have for crossing state lines or entering competitions (or even boarding at someone's barn). But let’s not forget that even homebodies need it!

A "Coggins" is a blood test that checks for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), a serious blood-borne disease. EIA is transmitted by biting flies, particularly horseflies, so your horse is at risk even it never leaves the property or lives in a closed herd.

The clinical signs of the disease can vary dramatically, from an acute infection to an inapparent form that presents mild to no symptoms. No treatment or vaccine exist for EIA at the moment, and infected horses become lifelong carriers. Therefore, to ensure that large outbreaks of the disease don’t take place, horses that test positive for EIA must be quarantined and isolated for the rest of their life or humanely euthanized.

Get your horse tested annually, regardless of travel plans. To learn more about EIA, consult your veterinarian or visit our website at https://aaep.org/horsehealth/equine-infectious-anemia

These foods are safe to share with our furry friends. Veggies can often be a good snack to help them feel full when we're decreasing their kibble intake to help lose that winter weight we all put on over the last few months 🙂 Fresh or frozen veggies are great to use.
