Tis’ the Season… for LAMINITIS!

Recently, many of us in southern Colorado have been experiencing rainy afternoons and hot mornings. While this is great for growing grass, it also comes with potentially dangerous implications for our horses. Rapidly growing, lush spring grass (and weeds!) can be very high in non structural carbohydrates (starches and sugars). If not properly regulated, our horses can over-consume these nutrients and end up in a laminitic crisis, which can be detrimental to their comfort and performance. Please use extreme caution this time of year when introducing horses to pasture. If you have any questions about proper introduction, whether or not pasture is right for your horse, or any other concerns, please contact us!!

We periodically come across cases that are too compelling not to share. This patient was treated for a chronic wound that failed to heal. After more than a year of attempting to alleviate the horse's condition, the owners reached out to us. The healing progression is apparent, and we attribute this success to our outstanding team. Special acknowledgement is extended to Carrey Gunderman, Hilltop Bio, and the doctors at Elite Equine, as our patient achieved substantial progress over six weeks and is expected to return to normal activities.

AAEP offers valuable insights into the importance of annual dental exams. If it’s been more than 12 months since your horse has seen a vet, call the office to schedule an annual physical exam with dental exams.
