It has been a great month at Equine Veterinary Care. 🐎🏅As our season starts to slow down at our MD and DE locations, our FL Team is ready for their busy season!

A little sunshine, a lot of horses, and some wonderful people! ☀️🐴🌴 Loved spending time with our EVC-Florida team at Sunshine Meadows Equestrian Village in Delray Beach. Work trips aren't so bad when this is your office view!

Deworming Done Right: Straight from the Vets 🐴

Did you know that strategic deworming is now the gold standard in equine care? Gone are the days of blanket treatments every few months. Today’s best practices focus on targeted deworming based on f***l egg counts (FECs) to reduce drug resistance and protect your horse’s health.

🔍 Step 1: Test First
Have your vet perform a FEC to determine your horse’s parasite load.

📊 Step 2: Classify
Horses are categorized as low, moderate, or high shedders based on egg counts.

💊 Step 3: Treat Accordingly

Low shedders: Deworm 1–2x/year
Moderate/high shedders: Deworm more frequently with vet guidance
Use products like ivermectin, moxidectin, fenbendazole, and praziquantel based on the parasite type and resistance profile 1 2
🌱 Bonus Tip: Combine chemical control with pasture management—clean manure, rotate grazing, and avoid overcrowding.

Your vet is your best partner in building a safe, effective deworming plan. 🐎💚

Did you know that up to 90% of performance horses suffer from gastric ulcers?

These painful sores can affect appetite, behavior, performance, and overall well-being. Common signs include:
🔸 Poor appetite or picky eating
🔸 Weight loss or difficulty maintaining weight
🔸 Girthiness or sensitivity when saddling
🔸 Changes in behavior or performance
🔸 Grinding teeth or mild colic symptoms

👉 While symptoms can give us clues, the only way to truly diagnose the type and location of ulcers is through a gastroscope exam. This allows us to see inside the stomach and tailor treatment specifically to your horse’s needs.

Ulcers are treatable — and with the right care plan, preventable. If you suspect your horse may be affected, our team is here to help.

📞 Call us to schedule a consultation or gastroscope exam today!
