The MU equine field service offers students an opportunity to take an extra elective rotation on the trucks, giving them more time to learn ambulatory medicine. As part of the elective, we ask our students to create an informational equine-oriented social media post.

Thank you to Alyssa Hale, a senior veterinary student, for this post on feeding senior horses.

🐾 Hookworms in cats are more common than you think — and they can make your kitten seriously sick.
Ancylostoma tubaeforme attaches to the intestine and feeds on blood, leading to anemia, pale gums, poor growth, diarrhea, and weakness — especially in young cats.
The good news?
✅ Easy to diagnose with a simple f***l test
✅ Highly treatable with the right dewormer
✅ Preventable with regular deworming + good hygiene
These parasites can also affect people (cutaneous larva migrans), so protecting your cat protects your whole family.
Swipe through / save this guide to learn the signs, life cycle, treatment & prevention.
Healthy cat, happy home — prevent parasites, protect everyone! 🐱❤️

DID YOU KNOW?

Gastric ulcer disease is a common problem in equines and it affects over 60% of adult horses (depending on age, performance, and evaluated populations.) While Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is more prevalent in high performance horses, it's important to remember that any horse can be affected, as all equines suffer from stress (like traveling, stall confinement, changes in diet, etc.) which over time may result in gastric ulcers.

The signs of ulcers a horse might show are highly variable between individuals, but they usually include variations of "bad behavior" like general grumpiness, reluctance to perform, cribbing and teeth-grinding, tail-swishing and other behaviors suggesting restlessness and physical discomfort. Rough hair coat, weight loss and poor body condition are also common.

If your horse is exhibiting any of these signs, it may be time to consult your veterinarian rather than just chalk them off as behavioral or training issues. Proper diagnosis is crucial to get appropriate treatment started promptly, and your horse doctor will also be able to make recommendations for environmental and management changes that can you help prevent a relapse of ulcers in the future.

More information about EGUS is available on our website at https://aaep.org/horsehealth/equine-gastric-ulcer-syndrome
