🦟 West Nile Virus Detected in Nevada Horses – Protect Yours! 🐴

This summer, two Nevada horses (Clark & Nye Counties) tested positive for West Nile Virus and were euthanized. While we haven’t seen confirmed cases yet in Northern Nevada, the mosquitoes don’t care about county lines — so prevention is key.

What is West Nile Virus?
A mosquito-borne disease that affects horses, humans, and birds. Horses and humans can get sick but don’t spread it further.

Signs in Horses:
• Fever
• Weakness or stumbling, especially hind legs
• Muscle twitching, seizures, trouble rising
• Drooping lips, head, or odd chewing/lip smacking
• Sensitivity to sound/touch

Why Worry?
⚠️ Horses that show signs have a 30–40% fatality rate. There’s no specific cure — only supportive care.

Prevention:
✅ Vaccinate annually (AAEP core vaccine) – sometimes spring + fall boosters recommended in long mosquito seasons
✅ Reduce mosquito exposure – dump standing water, stable at dawn/dusk, use safe repellents

👉 Keep your horses safe — call The Ranch Veterinary Clinic to schedule West Nile vaccinations today.

🚜💥 Ranchers – Let’s Talk Trich 💥🐂

Nobody likes surprises come preg check time… and trichomonas is one of the worst. A few quick reminders to help keep your herd clean:

👉 Cows – If a cow gets exposed, it takes about 120 days for her to clear the parasite. That’s why testing dams isn’t usually worth it.

👉 Bulls – They’re the real troublemakers. We test them by collecting a sample and sending it off to the lab.

• Pooling vs. Individual Samples – If your bulls are staying home, sometimes we can pool them. BUT if there’s any chance they’ll cross state lines, they need individual tests.
• Timing – Make sure bulls are rested at least 2 weeks before testing.

💡 Bottom line: trich control = fewer open cows + more calves on the ground.

Give us a call at The Ranch Veterinary Clinic to get your bulls on the schedule before turnout!

🍂🐂 It’s that time again, ranchers!
We’re booking Fall Cattle Work — from Bangs vaccinations and pregnancy diagnosis to Trich testing & BSEs.

Not sure what your herd needs? We’re happy to go over vaccine protocols, parasite control, and herd health plans so your cattle head into winter in top shape.

Nevada requires EID ear tags for cattle — producers must order them from the Nevada Department of Agriculture before fall work. If you’re not sure how, we can walk you through it.

📞 Call Dr. Hummel or Dr. Ugalde to get on the schedule.
If you don’t have their number, reach out to The Ranch Vet Clinic.

Let’s keep your herd healthy, productive, and ready for the season ahead!

☀️ Suns out? Don’t forget the pet-safe sunscreen.
While we love seeing our pets soak up the sunshine, too much exposure—especially on sensitive areas like ears, bellies, and noses—can lead to painful sunburns (yes, even for indoor cats 🐱).
From spotting symptoms to smart prevention tips, our latest guide has everything you need to keep your furry companion protected.

🐾 Lexi the Warrior: Emergency Surgery with a Twist 🐶🩸

This is Lexi, a stunning Doberman who came to us with a serious and life-threatening infection called pyometra — a condition requiring emergency spay surgery.

But Lexi’s case had an added challenge: she has von Willebrand’s disease, a genetic bleeding disorder that makes clotting difficult — and surgery riskier.

To keep her safe, our team took every precaution:
🔬 Pre-op testing to assess clotting
🩸 A pre-operative blood transfusion to support her during surgery
🛡️ Careful anesthetic and surgical planning
💉 Intensive monitoring post-op

Lexi handled everything like a champ, and we’re thrilled to report she’s recovering beautifully!

Her case is a reminder of how tailored care, teamwork, and preparation can turn a high-risk situation into a success story
