🐴 🐮HELP US GIVE A BIG CREEK VALLEY WELCOME TO DR. SARAH WINGO! 🐮🐴

It’s time to introduce our relief veterinarian! Dr. Sarah Wingo will be joining Creek Valley Veterinary Services next week and will be with us for the next 6 weeks, helping cover regularly scheduled appointments as well as daytime and after-hours emergencies.

“Hi! I’m Sarah Wingo! 👋 I grew up on a farm in Nashville, TN, and attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville for both my undergraduate and veterinary degrees. After veterinary school, I continued my education with a year-long specialized internship at an equine hospital in Ocala, Florida. Since completing my internship in 2023, I’ve been working as a traveling veterinarian.

My professional interests include emergency cases, reproduction, and herd wellness, but I love the variety that veterinary medicine brings, so I’ll happily see just about anything! 🐴🐮🐐🐑🐷

I also have a special interest in performance horses, including lameness and poor-performance evaluations, with the goal of keeping horses feeling their best and performing at their peak.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me skiing or hiking in the mountains somewhere!” 🏔️ - Dr. Sarah

We are so excited to have Dr. Sarah joining the Creek Valley family and helping keep things running smoothly over the next several weeks. We know she’ll be a wonderful addition to our team and hope you’ll help us give her a big Creek Valley welcome! 🙌

📞 Call or text: 330-341-2788

🚨 If you have an emergency, please CALL! Don’t wait to send a text or Facebook message. Calling is the best way to make sure we know about your emergency and can get you and your animal the help you need as quickly as possible.

And one more note from Dr. Petra: Thank you, as always, for your continued support while I’m out on maternity leave. I’m so incredibly grateful for this Creek Valley family and all of the support you’ve shown me during this exciting transition. I’m so excited for this next era and can’t wait to share it all with you! 🩵🩵🩵

— Love,
Dr. Petra, Eric, and Baby Boy B 🫶

If you happened to miss the announcement on my personal page… Baby Boy B will be making his arrival very soon! 🩵

Our family is beyond excited for this new chapter, but I also know that as a solo veterinarian, many of my Creek Valley Veterinary Services clients are probably wondering what this means for the care of your animals.

The good news? We’ve got a plan!

To ensure your animals continue receiving the care you’ve come to expect, I’m excited to share that Dr. Sarah Wingo will be temporarily joining Creek Valley Veterinary Services as our relief veterinarian. She’ll be helping provide both routine and emergency care while I’m away, so you can rest easy knowing your horses and livestock will be in excellent hands. Stay tuned later this week for a formal introduction—you’ll get to learn more about Dr. Wingo and give her a warm Creek Valley welcome!

So, what’s the best way to continue supporting us during this exciting season?

📞 Keep calling 330-341-2788 (same number as normal) with emergencies or texting the same number for appointments, emergencies, medication refills, or any questions you may have. Tamie, Alonna, and Dr. Wingo will be here to make sure you and your animals continue receiving the same compassionate care you’ve always counted on.

To my amazing Creek Valley family—thank you. Your trust, loyalty, and support have allowed me to build the practice I’ve always dreamed of, and I couldn’t be more grateful. You all know how deeply I care about each and every one of you, and I can’t wait to introduce you to the newest little member of our family when the time comes.

Thank you for supporting not only my dream of being your veterinarian, but now my dream of becoming a mom. I look forward to sharing this exciting new chapter with all of you! 🩵

With love,
Dr. Petra

🌫️ Poor Air Quality? Your Horse Feels It Too. 🐴

With smoky skies and poor air quality, it’s important to remember that horses can be affected just like people. Even healthy horses may experience irritation, while those with asthma (heaves/RAO), allergies, or other respiratory conditions are at an even greater risk.

🐎 When air quality is poor:
• Reduce or postpone strenuous exercise and training.
• Provide plenty of fresh, clean water.
• Offer hay in a way that minimizes dust (consider soaking or steaming hay if appropriate).
• Keep stalls well-ventilated, but avoid adding additional dust from sweeping or bedding during smoky conditions.
• Watch closely for signs of respiratory distress, including:
🔹 Increased respiratory rate or effort
🔹 Coughing
🔹 Nasal discharge
🔹 Exercise intolerance
🔹 Flared nostrils or labored breathing

Remember, smoke particles are extremely small and can travel deep into the lungs, even if the smoke doesn’t seem heavy.

If your horse develops difficulty breathing or their respiratory signs worsen, contact your veterinarian right away. Early intervention can help prevent more serious complications.

Stay safe, and don’t forget to check the air quality before heading out for a ride! 🩵🐴

She might be small, and she might occasionally serve a little RBF in photos… but don’t let that fool you—this woman is MIGHTY! 💪🐴

Alonna cares deeply about every client and every animal we care for. She’s always ready to jump in, lend a hand, and make sure your animals receive the best care possible.

And let’s be honest… she can put on a NICE bandage. 😏 If you know, you know!

Today we’re celebrating one of Creek Valley Veterinary Services’ favorite veterinary technicians. 🎉

Happy Birthday, Alonna! 🥳 Thank you for everything you do for our team, our clients, and their animals. We hope your day is filled with lots of laughs, great food, and all the things that make you smile. Help us wish Alonna the happiest birthday ever! 🎂🎈🩵🥂

🎆🇺🇸 Fireworks are exciting for us—but they can be stressful and even dangerous for horses and livestock. 🐴🐄🐑

With Independence Day approaching, take a few extra steps to help keep your animals safe and comfortable.

Here are some tips from Creek Valley Veterinary Services:

🐴 Check fences, gates, and latches before the holiday.
🌾 Provide plenty of hay to keep horses occupied. Chewing can be calming and helps distract them from the noise.
🏡 Keep horses and livestock in a familiar pasture, paddock, or barn where they feel most secure.
📻 Turn on the barn radio or a fan to help mask the sound of fireworks.
🚜 Remove equipment or other hazards they could injure themselves on if they become frightened.
💧 Ensure fresh, clean water is always available.
🚫 Avoid hauling horses or livestock during peak fireworks hours if possible.
👀 Check all animals after the fireworks have ended for injuries or damaged fencing.

💊 If your horse has a history of severe anxiety during fireworks, don’t wait until the last minute. Talk with your veterinarian ahead of time about whether sedation is appropriate. Sedatives are most effective when planned in advance, and your veterinarian can help determine the safest option for your horse.

Even the calmest animals can react unpredictably to loud noises and flashing lights. A little preparation can go a long way in preventing injuries and keeping everyone safe.

From all of us at Creek Valley Veterinary Services, we wish you, your family, and your animals a safe and happy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

🐂 Happy Father’s Day from Creek Valley Veterinary Services! 🐎

Today we’re celebrating all the dads who put in the hard work year-round.

Because let’s be honest… around the farm, the bulls and studs think they’re pretty important, but they only work a few months out of the year and then spend the rest of their time eating, sleeping, and looking handsome. 😆

Dads, on the other hand, are on duty 365 days a year—fixing fences, hauling feed, teaching life lessons, paying bills, and somehow still answering questions nobody else can.

So here’s to the fathers who have officially earned the title of “better dad than the bulls and studs.” We appreciate everything you do for your families, your farms, and your animals.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Creek Valley Veterinary Services! ❤️🐄🐎🐑🐐🐖

🚨 Producer Alert: New World Screwworm Confirmed in Texas Calf 🚨

A recent case of New World Screwworm has been confirmed in a calf in Texas. While this detection occurred far from Ohio, it serves as an important reminder for livestock owners to stay informed and remain vigilant.

New World Screwworm can affect cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine, pets, wildlife, and even people. Unlike common maggots, which typically feed on dead or decaying tissue, New World Screwworm larvae feed on healthy, living tissue, causing wounds to become larger and more severe over time.

🔍 Watch for:
• Wounds that are not healing
• Foul-smelling wounds
• Excessive swelling or irritation
• Bloody discharge from a wound
• Visible maggots in wounds
• Animals repeatedly licking, biting, or rubbing an affected area

✅ Regularly inspect animals for injuries and treat wounds promptly.
✅ Pay close attention to newborn navels, surgical sites, dehorning or castration wounds, and any cuts or abrasions.
✅ Maintain good fly control practices.
✅ Contact your veterinarian if you notice unusual wound infestations.

While New World Screwworm is not currently present in Ohio, awareness and early detection are key to protecting animal health. Creek Valley Veterinary Services will continue to monitor developments and share important updates with our producers and horse owners.
