As a small business, unpaid balances have a significant impact on our ability to continue providing care and emergency services to our clients and patients.

We are currently reviewing overdue accounts and preparing a list for collections. If you have an outstanding balance with Lake Erie Equine, please check your email and contact us promptly to make payment arrangements if needed.

We understand that circumstances arise and are happy to work with clients who communicate with us. However, accounts that remain unpaid without communication may be forwarded to collections.

Thank you to the many clients who continue to support our practice and pay promptly, it is genuinely appreciated. 💙🩵

“I have 2 rules. You can’t kick me and you can’t spill my coffee.” ☕🐴

Spring has absolutely flown by, and we are forever grateful for caffeine, good ponies, and clients who keep us laughing through the chaos.

We are currently still booking several weeks out, which is a little unusual for us this time of year, so please plan ahead when scheduling routine appointments.

As always, thank you for keeping us busy doing what we love. 💙🩵

It has been a challenging week at Lake Erie Equine, with an unusually high number of emergencies and several difficult outcomes. Our hearts are with the horses and owners affected.

As we head into the weekend and the holiday, we will remain available for emergencies for our current full service clients.

We wish everyone a safe Memorial Day weekend and hope you take a moment to remember what Memorial Day is truly about, honoring and remembering those who gave their lives in service to our country.
❤️🤍💙

🚨 Rabies Alert in Huron County 🚨

A bat in Huron County recently tested positive for rabies. This is an important reminder of why keeping rabies vaccines up to date is so important.

Rabies is a core vaccine in horses, meaning ALL horses should be vaccinated yearly. In horses, rabies can initially present with signs similar to colic. Keeping your horses protected not only helps keep them safe, but also the people handling them by preventing accidental exposure.

For the safety of our staff and patients, we require horses to be current on an annual wellness exam and, at minimum, a rabies vaccine to remain eligible for emergency services.

A bat recently tested positive for rabies in Huron County. Huron County Public Health offered advice on how to protect yourself and your animals from the virus: https://tinyurl.com/rc5bxtk8

Charlie and I will be in the office tomorrow morning from around 7am–11am catching up on records, vaccine certificates, and other paperwork. If you’re waiting on something from us, you can expect it tomorrow morning, assuming the emergency gods cooperate.

Please note that Charlie will be contributing very little aside from moral support, keyboard interference, and thorough inspections of any empty boxes that may appear. 📦🐈

Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers in our practice, Anne and Rose.

As many of you know, Anne is our practice manager, but she also happens to be my mom. She’s probably the least visible person in the practice, yet she handles so much of the behind the scenes business side of things, which also happens to be my least favorite part of owning a practice.

I’m always aware of how much she does, but she was out of the office this week and, while she made sure all the big things were taken care of before she left, I had to tackle a few things she normally handles.

It’s a humbling experience to be on the phone with our biggest supplier as the owner of the business saying, “I actually have never paid that bill before… how do we usually do that?” 😂

I’m incredibly grateful for all she does, and for the support she gives not only to me, but to the entire practice.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there today, whether your kids have 2 legs or 4. 💙🩵

When you’re a horse vet and the “colic bucket” pulls double duty as a plant taxi. 🌱🪣

Because safe transport isn’t just for patients. 🐴🌸

The wait is over… and many of you guessed correctly!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve added gastroscopy to our service list. This allows us to scope horses and directly visualize the stomach to determine if ulcers are present. Even more importantly, it helps us identify the type of ulcers so we can create a more targeted and effective treatment plan.

And that’s not all…

Dr. Kate has also been quietly working behind the scenes expanding her skillset. She is currently completing her certification in acupuncture and will be offering this service later this fall.

We’re always looking for ways to better serve our patients and provide the highest level of care, stay tuned for more updates!

On the road with my favorite sidekick today. 🐾

Why doesn’t she tag along more often, you ask?

Because Bindi has a gift… for escaping her “straight jacket” (aka harness) and leaping out the window. On more than one occasion I’ve buckled her in securely, only to turn around and find her standing behind me in a barn like she hit the teleport button. 😅
