Ashfall & your animals

Updates on Mt Spurr volcano : https://avo.alaska.edu/

Volcanic ash is VERY abrasive. Protect eyes and mouth for all people and critters.

While ash is falling: Keep animals in an enclosed area, cover exposed feed and water. Protect normal feeding surfaces from ash. Consider if a fly mask may work for your animals.

Afterwards: DO NOT FEED ON ASH, or allow ash to be consumed or inhaled. Do not allow access to contaminated water.

Dr Snyder of Polar Eyes Veterinary Ophthalmology has excellent information on protecting your pets eyes after eruption:

Horse Blankets!
Use a high gram fill and high denier for Alaskan Winters.
Layer liners, stable blankets and turnouts for optimum insulation and protection.
Add a fleece liner for the coldest of cold snaps.
Check blankets daily and immediately replace any iced-up blankets.
Shivering horses need blankets, wind protection and possibly more food.
Horses that may need more help staying warm: elderly horses, young horses, hot blooded horses (Arabian and thoroughbred), sick horses, donkeys, mules, and horses new to Alaska.
