🌟 Foaling Season Tips for Horse Owners 🌟

Foaling season is an exciting (and sometimes nerve-wracking!) time for horse owners. Here are a few quick veterinary tips to help keep both mare and foal safe and healthy:

🐴 Know the Signs Labor Is Near�• Udder development and waxing of teats�• Softening around the tail head�• Restlessness, pacing, or nesting behavior

🧹 Prepare a Clean Foaling Area�A clean, dry stall with deep bedding helps reduce infection risk for both mare and foal.
Foaling can happen quickly, so preparation and early recognition of problems are key!

⏱️ Remember the 1-2-3 Rule�• 1 hour: Foal should be delivered within about 1 hour of active labor�• 2 hours: Foal should stand within 2 hours�• 3 hours: Foal should nurse within 3 hours

🚨 Call Your Veterinarian Immediately If:�• Labor lasts longer than 20 minutes with no progress�• Only one hoof or the nose appears without the other hoof�• The placenta isn’t passed within 3 hours�• The foal is weak, not nursing, or seems abnormal

🍼 Don’t Skip the Foal Exam�A newborn foal exam and IgG test within the first 12–24 hours is important to make sure the foal received enough antibodies from colostrum.

📞 If you have a mare due to foal soon, don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or to schedule a newborn foal exam.

Flea, Tick & Heartworm Season Is Here! 🐶🐱

Warmer weather means parasites are back in full force. Protecting your pets from fleas, ticks, and heartworms is one of the easiest ways to keep them healthy year-round.

🦠 Why Prevention Matters:
• Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes and can cause severe heart and lung disease.
• Ticks can transmit serious illnesses such as Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis.
• Fleas cause itching, skin infections, allergies, and can even spread tapeworms.

💊 The Good News:
Monthly preventatives are safe, effective, and much easier (and less expensive!) than treating these diseases after infection.

🐾 Veterinary Tips:
✔ Keep pets on prevention year-round
✔ Dogs should have annual heartworm testing
✔ Check pets for ticks after outdoor adventures
✔ Treat all pets in the household for fleas

🚨 Did You Know?
Just one flea can quickly turn into hundreds in your home environment!

📞 Need help choosing the right prevention for your pet? Our team is happy to help you find the safest and most effective option.
