Dr. Lewis had the privilege of guest lecturing at a local 4th grade classroom about the internal structures of vertebrates. The next generation of scientists were excited to get to see real specimens and learn how they function to support life and growth.

A special thank you to the KSU Anatomy and Physiology department for supplying many of the specimens.

Maybe don’t pick us for a trivia team unless it is vet med related! 🤣

We are closely monitoring the situation happening in Oklahoma, Texas, and surrounding areas at large Quarter Horse shows. We will be asking more questions for people calling to schedule horse appointments. Please keep all horses in your trailer upon arrival, until we have had a chance to come out and take a temperature. Thank you for your understanding.

What is Equine Herpesvirus (EHV)?

You've probably heard it called Rhinopneumonitis, a respiratory tract disease that results in "snotty noses," but EHV is more than that. Depending on the strain, this virus can also cause abortion in broodmares, and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) — the often-deadly neurologic form of the disease.

Because EHV is endemic in many equine populations, most mature horses have developed some immunity through repeated natural infection. However, they remain a source of infection for other susceptible horses, like weaned foals and yearlings, who usually display symptoms of the respiratory form of the disease in autumn and winter. Performance and show horses are also more vulnerable to the disease, as they commingle with unfamiliar equines in close quarters while under stress from travel and competition.

Proper biosecurity protocols can help reduce EHV outbreaks and other disease transmission. A variety of vaccines are also available for protection against both the respiratory and abortive form of the disease, but there is no equine licensed vaccine at this time that has a label claim for protection against the neurologic form (EHM).

Consult your primary equine veterinarian to learn more about this disease and work with them to determine the optimal vaccine protocol for your horses.

You can learn more about all three forms on the Equine Disease Communication Center's website here: https://equinediseasecc.org/infectious-diseases

Last weekend we held a Chili Feed competition at the clinic. Competition included different chilies, along with side dishes.

Winners:

AJ came out with the Best in Show chili, with Nolan as runner up.

The Kids’ chili choice award was taken home by Dr. Andersen.

Lexi won the side dish competition by a landslide with her cheesy potatoes.

The other cinnamon rolls, cookies, peach cobbler, and cornbread were just icing on the cake of a very satisfying meal.

And because TCVH can’t get together without a little competition and the occasional trash talk, we finished the afternoon off with a game of veterinary specific Family Feud questions. There were moments of heated confrontation, but Dr. Lewis’s team, including Lexi, Erika, Annie, and Nolan took home the bragging rights!
