The snowpocalypse or icemageddon is coming! If you need banamine in case of, PLEASE TELL US NOW! We will still be on call during the storm, but if you can't get out of your driveway we probably cannot get in, so best to be prepared. We also have a number of EOR electrolyte strips in stock if you want to increase their drinking during the storm!

EHV1-neuro has hit NC, in Davidson County. The horse was found down Dec 26, 2025, and has died.

this is what EHV1-neuro may look like
● Neurologic signs are often (but not always) preceded by fever and/or respiratory signs
● Incoordination of the hind (and occasionally fore) limbs
● Ataxia
● Urine retention/dribbling, bladder atony
● Recumbency with inability to rise
● Rarely, cranial nerve deficits, seizures, and/or brainstem signs
● Be aware that many cases of EHM do not fit the ‘classic’ description of hindlimb ataxia and
urinary incontinence

Today's the day!! Hope to see everyone there! Overflow parking is at the community college immediately adjacent: park near the garden, there's a cute little walking path to the east that will bring you in the back of the regular parking lot.

Worried about the wildly cold weather headed our way? We ordered something new and fabulous to alleviate your colic fears! Allow me to introduce the coolest way to make your horse drink water: EOR strips -- they work like the breath mint strips for people but instead are electrolyte based. We will be leaving a pile at Pittsboro Feed today for you to come grab if you want to buy some, please just shoot us a text so we can keep track of how many we have left!

Darn Debby! While everyone is preparing their Arks, this is a gentle reminder from your favorite vets that horses can swim. PLEASE do not ford / drive / or otherwise attempt to float to your horses on Thursday. The pictures below are from Dr. Freese's flood rescues in Florida, and she promises to come save you and your herd if need be once the water is less swift. Plan ahead: we are likely to lose power, you'll need lots of CLEAN water (not flood water), a thermometer, hay, towels, and backup banamine or bute. Please let us know before midday tomorrow if you find that your stash is inadequate. Expect to see more skin funk and hoof abscesses in the sunny days following. In the meantime, we are still here for you if you need us!
