Posture is the natural way that an animal holds their body in response to a feeling or outside forces with respect to gravity. This includes the position of the limbs, as well as the position of the spine, during standing, sitting, or lying down.

Science tells us that it physically takes more energy for animals to not equally distribute weight through out the body during standing. So, if they are not standing squarely, why is the animal doing it?

These series of images show animals with some abnormal postures (as well as some abnormal anatomy in certain cases) that all had health issues that needed to be addressed. If you notice that your animal has a repetitive standing, sitting, or lying down behavior, you should mention it to your animal health professional at your next visit.

Farm animals are often misunderstood because the average person has never had the chance to interact with them. They are social, inquisitive, and responsive. They get aches and pains, just like our domestic species.

Chiropractic can help open the flow of the system to normalize the waves of the body by aiding healthy biomechanics. A qualified Doctor (DVM or DC) uses controlled and highly educated technique to deliver the therapy.

Acupuncture stimulates cellular activity and releases endorphins by getting the body energy (Qi) moving. Stagnant energy can create pain and malfunction.

We love watching these therapies work together on these special animals!

🌟 Acupuncture for hindquarter weakness & mobility 🌟

Kidney 1 is under the central pad of the rear paw, between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones. Needling this point has research that shows the stimulation of muscle spindle and nerve fibers essential for balance and motion. It can enhance sensory nerve feedback to the rest of the system, so this can be amplified with the use of electroacupuncture connections to other places on the limb or body.

This patient received chiropractic care, acupuncture therapy, and cold laser with Dr. Meg for an integrative approach. Dr. Meg is a mixed animal veterinarian that uses combined techniques of western medicine, chiropractic, acupuncture and TCVM herbal therapies to get patients feeling their best.

Ack!! Strangles!! The mention of strangles among horseman is enough to elicit a cringeworthy response comparable to colic. We all know it’s wildly contagious and we should avoid it like the plague, but what else do we need to know to keep our herd safe? What is Strangles? Strangles is...

Fewer than 4,000 equine veterinarians serve the entire U.S., and in 23 states, there are fewer than 60.

A recent EquiManagement feature dives into the realities of rural equine practice: solo “road warrior” vets driving hours between farms, working without nearby referral hospitals, setting strict boundaries to avoid burnout, and carrying the weight of 24/7 responsibility.

In some regions, referral care may be 16 hours away, meaning the local veterinarian must decide: treat, stabilize, or humanely euthanize.

Rural equine medicine isn’t just a career; it’s a commitment to community, resilience, and showing up when no one else can.
