Yesterday, we hosted the 3rd Annual Gastroscope Wet Lab in partnership with ISU CVM AAEP Student Chapter and Boehringer Ingelheim! 🩺 Students gained hands on experience taking vitals, utilizing the scope equipment and identifying landmarks in the equine stomach. We enjoy seeing the next generation of large animal and equine vets learning in the field!

Spring means breeding and riding season for horse owners… but for vet students, it means hands-on learning in the field! 🩺🐴

Last week Iowa Equine had the pleasure of hosting 4th-year veterinary student, Kailee, for an externship. Under the guidance of Dr. Stay and Dr. White, she jumped right into the action, helping flush mares, performing wellness exams, and getting a close look at top-notch equine dentistry.

“Why is my horse off?” It’s one of the most common questions we hear.

When the problem involves tendons or ligaments, it won’t show up on X-rays. That’s where ultrasound becomes an essential tool. Dr. Stay routinely uses ultrasound to evaluate horses for suspected soft tissue injury, allowing us to look beneath the surface and pinpoint the issue. Catching soft tissue injuries early can make a big difference in recovery and long-term soundness! Have you ever dealt with this with one of your horses?

Vaccinating your horse for rabies is not just recommended, it is essential, because every horse is at risk, whether they live on a large farm, a small acreage, or travel off property. Wildlife exposure can happen anywhere.

Vaccination is safe, effective, and the best way to protect both your horse and the people around them. Spring is the ideal time to get your horse’s core vaccinations updated and ensure they are protected for the year ahead. Give us a call to schedule! 📞 (844) 238-1840 or request an appointment online at iowaequine.net

Is your horse not quite himself lately? Subtle signs like weight loss, poor performance, girthiness, attitude changes, or mild colic could point to equine gastric ulcers.

At Iowa Equine, we use gastroscopy as the gold standard for diagnosis. A gastroscope allows us to actually visualize the stomach, determine the severity and location of ulcers, and create a targeted treatment plan based on what your horse truly needs.

We also offer a cost effective gastroscope package that includes both the initial scope and a follow up recheck after treatment. This allows us to confirm healing, adjust the plan if needed, and ensure your horse is truly back to feeling their best!
