Tiny Hooves, Big Beginnings!

There’s something extra special about caring for our littlest equine patients! ☺️

Dr. Wren spent some time providing veterinary care to this precious neonatal foal, making sure this little one is getting the best possible start in life.

The neonatal period is one of the most important stages of a foal’s development. During these first few weeks, veterinary care plays a vital role in monitoring growth, identifying potential health concerns, and ensuring these tiny patients are thriving.

From the tiniest hooves to the biggest personalities, every patient deserves exceptional care! ❤️

Here at Cedar Creek Equine, we’re passionate about supporting healthy beginnings and happy futures, one foal at a time. 🩺🐎

What can your horse's mouth tell us?
A LOT!

Routine dental care is an important part of keeping horses healthy, comfortable, and performing their best. Because a horse's teeth continually erupt throughout much of their life, normal chewing and grazing can create sharp points and uneven wear that can cause discomfort or difficulty eating.

Signs your horse may need a dental exam can include:
* Dropping feed or hay (quidding)
* Weight loss or difficulty maintaining weight
* Slow or abnormal chewing
* Bad breath or excessive salivation
* Head tossing or resistance to the bit
* Packing feed in the cheeks

And sometimes there are no obvious signs, which is why routine dental examinations are so important.

A veterinarian can evaluate the entire mouth, identify abnormal wear or diseased teeth, and determine whether floating or other dental treatment is needed.

When was the last time your horse had a dental exam? Call us at Cedar Creek Equine to schedule your horse’s dental! (214) 502-9420

An exciting new piece of equipment arrives this week at Cedar Creek Equine!

Gastroscopes allow us to visualize the ulcers present in a horse’s stomach to help determine which medications are needed, how long to treat, and give us a method for checking the healing progress. Some symptoms of G.I ulcers are reluctance to go forward, bucking, changes in attitude, back pain, kicking out, recurrent colic, and loss of appetite. Additionally, the camera can allow us to diagnose masses, parasites, and delayed gastric emptying.

Adding to the advanced technology that we already bring to the barn, (mobile x-ray, ultrasound, shockwave, and PrP/Prostride) a gastroscope will provide gold-standard diagnosis for your horse. If you are concerned your horse might have ulcers, reach out to schedule an appointment or discuss your horse’s symptoms.

Ivan had an unfortunate run in with a bolt, just a couple of days after arriving at his new home. Lucky for him, his new family acted fast and has done thorough wound care to preserve the sutures and speed healing time.

The biggest hurdle with wounds like this is the swelling, the large amount of motion in this area, and keeping flies out of the wound while it heals. Regular hydrotherapy is my prescription in these cases to irrigate and promote tissue growth.

These photos show the initial wound, healing along the way, and then almost completely healed at 7.5 weeks.

I’m pretty pleased with how this looks!

This mare got a round of shockwave and some physical therapy. She thought I felt like a spa day.

Bundle Up!!
As you storm prep over the next day, here are a few things to remember so that your horses stay equally warm and healthy.
1. Fill an extra trough (or two) and keep it inside the barn. The horse’s body heat will help keep it from freezing, and it will give you a trough to break the ice on and refill buckets out of if you lose water supply to the barn.
2. Offer lukewarm water when possible!
3. Soak grain, and keep a constant supply of hay in front of your horses.
4. Make sure they have access to a place out of the wind/sleet.
5. Pick feet often! As horses walk they pack ice and snow into their feet and end up walking on balls of ice which can lead to slips and falls.
7. Don’t forget your donkeys, they don’t have as thick or waterproof a coat which makes them more susceptible to cold with rain and wintery mix. Let them under cover, and blanket them appropriately.

As road conditions decline, it may be hard for an ambulatory vet to get to you. Keep medications inside so they don’t freeze, and DO NOT feed a horse showing any colic symptoms. If you think your horse may be showing colic symptoms, take them off pasture and remove any grain or hay. With the winter storm please do not wait to call your vet, early on we may be able to get out to you but as things progress and roads get worse we may not be able to travel.

Dr. Wren is out of town attending continuing education until 12/3. Unfortunately during this time there will be no emergency service. We apologize for the inconvenience, however her attendance helps ensure she stays up to date on innovations in the field to provide the best care for your horses.

Thank you,
