Monday, April 20, 2015. Fever Leading to Gastric Ulcers in a Young Horse. If so, is there any way to prevent ulcer onset? Your veterinarian is right! The initial onset of fever and loss of appetite at the trainer’s barn was likely due to a viral infection, such as equine influenza (often called flu), equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1), or equine rhinitis virus. These viruses usually cause a fever and variable cough, nasal discharge, and loss of appetite, but in some cases horses show very mild signs. Q: My per...

Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Q - I am concerned about a horse (30-year-old Arabian) where I board. Yesterday I found in her manure what looks like stringy intestinal tract with feces encapsulated inside. It does not look like worms. She is also not eating as well as usual. She was scared by fireworks recently, and I wonder if all the running around upset her digestive system? Today, however, her manure looks normal. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Friday, February 28, 2014. I would like him to allow me to approach him. He is still quite leery of me. You can stop here or continue to teach all sorts of lessons within the context of this feeding ritual. For really aggressive horses, I also have taught the "back" and "stand" command sequence to get them to back up a few steps and wait for me to present the feed bucket. A horse cannot lunge forward for feed or turn and offer to kick while it is backing up. From the horse.com). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, January 27, 2014. A word of caution, though: Positive reinforcement methods are not yet well-understood in the mainstream training world. Plenty of misinformation remains in the media, and even in academic equine programs, confusing positive and negative reinforcement. It’s no wonder we get so confused about very simple, effective methods! Monday, January 6, 2014. Friday, January 3, 2014. Age to Breed a Colt. Q How young is too young to breed a colt?

Monday, March 24, 2014. Swelling in the Girth Area. Q My horse is swollen under his girth area on both sides of his body. There isn't a sore; the area just seems very tender when I groom it. The girth does not seem to be rubbing. What could be causing this problem? This is not an uncommon finding you are describing with your horse but one that can be a bit tricky to figure out. These scenarios are less likely to occur with an English saddle, but still worth a closer inspection. During this time of year, ...

Friday, December 12, 2014. Should I Deworm My Horse in the Winter? Q - Is it worthwhile to deworm my horses during the winter? I've heard that internal parasites aren't around this time of year. We find that horses actively shed parasite eggs year-round, but there is a tendency toward lower counts in the off-season months. This makes sense from the parasite's standpoint, as winter conditions do not favor parasite transmission. So the bottom line is that we don't typically recommend treatments directed at...
