Dear friends and clients,
I know social media is bursting with posts related to the recent outbreak of EHV -1 in Texas and other states.

I have been diligently checking my email and my other verified veterinary resources to keep as up to date as possible to answer everyone's questions.

Below is an email I received this evening from the Wyoming State Veterinary office.
Although there are no confirmed positive horses in Wyoming as of this email being sent, I would still exercise caution with your horses and other equines at this time. I feel like it is only a matter of time before we will start seeing cases in Wyoming.

Please, do not travel with horses unless it is absolutely necessary
While it is always good to use the hygeinic practices in your barn to keep animals healthy, now would be an opportune time to disinfect buckets, grooming tools and other items that come into contact with your horses, especially if you have gone to any shows or clinics within the last few weeks.
Please wash/sanitize your hands if you are handling horses as well as disinfect shoes/boots/clothes worn while working with horses. Do not mix or introduce new horses together for at least the next 14-21 days.
If you have any questions about this situation, or think your horse may have been exposed/sick, please call me or another local veterinarian for information and help.

Hello all! Summer seems to have flown by! I will have a few times slots available for preg checking and bangs vaccinations this fall.🐮🐃 💉
Give me a call if you still need some herd work done before my calendar gets crammed. 🙂
Fun fact: I have not preg checked a bison cow, but it's on my veterinary bucket list. 🙃🦬

Hello all! Thank you all so much for your patience over the last few months. Things were kinda wild there for a while but we are all doing well!

I will begin to slowly see patients this month. (June 2025)
Appointment availability will be limited due to child care and priority will be given to current patients/clients. I will also not be able to offer after hours emergency services. Thank you all for your understanding and support!

Hello all,
PSA for all my cat owners and feline lovers out there as well as any producers with dairy cattle.
Although Avian Influenza is not unheard of in the United States, it has been circulating though the country for the last few years and been making headlines recently. One would not think Avian Influenza, cats and cows have much to do with each other but things have changed lately. In March of 2024 a new strain of Avian Influenza had popped up in a few dairy cattle operations across the country, which had not happened before. The concern here is that unpasteurized milk from affected dairy cows has been shown to cause illness in humans and other animals that consume raw dairy products. Commercial pasteurized milk shows no risk of spreading the virus, as the pasteurization process kills bacteria and other pathogens.
In December 2024-January 2025, another variant has been linked to causing severe illness in felines. Both large cats from zoos and small domestic house cats have been reported to be affected.
**This post is not aimed to spread panic but to inform owners about this new concern for our feline friends as well as anyone with dairy cattle or considering getting a family milk cow.
The American Veterinary Medical Association and veterinarians across the country are urging cat owners to prevent influenza exposure, as there is not currently a vaccine available.
In regards to cats, the best way to protect cats from highly pathogenic avian influenza is to prevent exposure. Pet owners should keep cats indoors, remove bird feeders and water sources from yards to prevent birds from congregating. It is recommended to wash clothing after contact with wild birds, and cats should not be fed raw meat or unpasteurized dairy products. Signs of infection include respiratory distress, fever, loss of appetite and neurological problems.
In regards to dairy cattle, the USDA recommends that producers practice good biosecurity, sanitary practices and monitor for sick cows with decreased milk production as well as limit introduction of new stock as much as possible. Testing and quarantines of new animals prior to herd introductions are recommended and in some cases required by law for interstate travel. The USDA is also recommending that humans do not consume raw dairy products at the risk of spreading the virus.
If anyone has questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out and I can provide more information. Again, this post is not to breed panic but to keep everyone informed for their animal's optimal health. Thank you!

Hello dear friends and clients! Due to an unexpected, but happy change in circumstances, Dr. Belden will be dialing back on veterinary services and will be unable to accommodate new clients/patients until at least June 2025. Current/regular clients are welcome to call with veterinary inquiries, but please understand that depending on the nature of the issue, you may be directed to another local veterinary clinic for your needs. Thank you for your understanding during this time.

Hello all!
Just a quick, friendly reminder that Dr. Belden does not have full time office staff and the phone cannot always be answered when her hands are full. Especially, now with cattle preg checking season. Cell phones and cow p**p don't mix!
If your calls do happen to go to voicemail, please leave a detailed message and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
Like most people, we receive many robo/spam calls through the day, so our current policy, as stated on our voicemail message, is that we will not return calls that do not leave a voicemail. It is time consuming to figure out what calls and phone numbers are real or fake. We would rather spend that time helping our real clients/patients. Thank you all and we hope you stay warm and dry with the changing weather!
