Injecting Vitamin B1, mixed with whatever maintence injection you choose (most commonly used with corticosteroids), is often used to combat muscle soreness, spasms, or general/excessive tension. In performance horses, you'll sometimes see this notoriously pink liquid being used in their back, hamstrings, and sometimes their poll. It is not used as an injection into the joint space (intra-articular) like Renovo, Hyaluronic Acid, Noltrex, and Arthramid Vet are.

The hot topic across all industries: preventative care in performance horses. People start asking the questionโฆ are we getting too aggressive with maintenance? Are we injecting horses before it's actually needed?
It can feel odd at first. Preventative care? But nothing seems wrong right now.
The goal of preventative care isnโt to inject every joint at every opportunity. Itโs to stay ahead of soreness before it becomes a major issue that affects comfort, performance, or longevity.
Performance horses put repetitive stress on their bodies every single day. Small amounts of inflammation, compensation, and wear can exist long before obvious lameness appears. Horses are incredibly good at adapting and hiding discomfort until they physically canโt anymore. Preventative care works by recognizing and addressing those small changes early. Itโs about supporting the horse so they can continue performing comfortably and correctly, instead of waiting until they are significantly sore or lame. By the time a horse is visibly lame, the body has often already been compensating for quite awhile.
At that point, it often stops being a simple โone visit fixes allโ situation. You can peel back one layer, address that soreness, and a month later discover soreness somewhere else that had been masked by compensation over time.
You cannot out-train or outrun pain.
A horse compensating somewhere will eventually overload another structure. Tiny issues become bigger ones when left unmanaged. Soreness isn't always injury.
That doesnโt mean every horse needs injections often. Good maintenance should always be individualized to the horse, their workload, age, discipline, conformation, history, and how they feel physically. Sometimes maintenance looks like injections. Sometimes itโs chiropractic work, body work, shoeing changes, rehab, rest, strengthening exercises, or adjusting workload.
The goal is longevity, comfort, and keeping the horse feeling their best for as long as possible.

You should NEVER leave a vet visit feeling like you haven't been heard, wether that is with your equine partners or pets. Period. What you feel and notice matters.

What would YOU like to see more of?
The stifle is one of the most common maintenance sites in performance horses. As the largest and one of the most complex joints in the equine body, it absorbs a tremendous amount of load and is often a major source of hind-end soreness and lameness.
The stifle contains three synovial joint sacs: the femoropatellar, the medial (inside) femorotibial, and the lateral (outside) femorotibial compartments. Excess fluid accumulation within the stifle, or any synovial joint, is referred to as joint effusion.
Joint effusion can be a sign of acute inflammation from workload, stress, or overuse. When excessive, persistent, or recurrent, it may also indicate underlying stifle injury or instability. In todayโs performance horses, the stifle is one of the most common areas requiring consistent maintenance and monitoring to keep horses comfortable, strong, and performing at their best.
Adressing stifle soreness/lameness can range from joint injections (like Polyglycan, Noltrex, Alpha2, corticosteriods, and PRP) to time off, or even scoping the stifle to check for damaged cartilige.

Weโre in the midst of the BUSIEST time of year, breeding season and peak show season (not just for barrel horses, but all parts of the western industry) and many stallions are now taking on two extremely demanding jobs.
Performing and collecting.
Collecting puts a different type of strain on a stallion, it uses muscle groups and movement patterns that don't get worked unless they are being collected throughout the year.
Regular and consistent maintenance during the off season will help keep a stallion from additional visits during breeding season, but itโs important to note that the act of collecting can aggravate and create soreness in areas we donโt often see sore in a normal performance horse or will need maintenance in places they may not need normally.
Common places for soreness:
SI
Stifles
Hocks
Pelvis
Hips
Back
Shoulders
Neck
Even subtle soreness can negatively impact semen quality and output, as well as willingness in the breeding barn. It's critical to notice changes or soreness patterns and keep up with maintenance throughout breeding season, this is important for stallions whether they are competing or not.
If you want them operating at their best in the arena AND in the breeding barn, you have to:
โ๏ธ Pay attention to subtle changes
โ๏ธ Catch soreness early
โ๏ธ Stay on top of maintenance during the season, not just before it
The same way you maintain your performance horses, your stallion deserves in his seasonal job, too.

Storm season is here, and having a plan matters just as much for your animals as it does for you.
When severe weather or tornadoes are coming, the goal is simple. Keep them as safe as possible and avoid last minute chaos.
Horses:
- Turn out in a large, safe pasture if possible
- Avoid small pens, trees, and anything they can get trapped against
- Do not lock them in a barn that could collapse
- Make sure they have ID on them such as a halter with a tag, braided tag in the mane, or something that stays with them
Dogs and cats:
- Bring them inside well before the storm hits
- Have a safe room or crate ready so they are contained and not panicking or trying to escape
- Keep leashes, carriers, and essentials in one place so youโre not scrambling
- Stay aware of weather alerts and act early, not when itโs already on top of you
No setup is perfect in a tornado, but preparation gives you the best chance of avoiding injuries and losing animals.
Have a plan before you need one.

Dr. Olivia will be at the Money and Beaches Race in Hamilton April 30 through May 3!
Since Dr. Don will be at the Ruby Buckle, so we will not have a vet at the clinic Thursday and Friday.
If you need something, please plan ahead or reach out to get on the schedule before then.
We appreciate everyone working with us while weโre out supporting these events!

Short answer: yes.
This one confuses people because EPM is technically caused by a parasite. But it is not the same kind of parasite that dewormers treat.
EPM is caused by a protozoa (Sarcocystis neurona) that affects the nervous system. The medications used for EPM are designed to target that organism in the brain and spinal cord.
Dewormers target intestinal parasites, like strongyles, roundworms, and tapeworms that live in the gut.
Two completely different locations, two completely different types of parasites, and two completely different medications.
Treating EPM does not clear intestinal worms, and deworming does not treat EPM.
So even if your horse just finished an EPM protocol, they still need to stay on an appropriate deworming program based on fecal egg counts and your vetโs recommendation.

If youโve ever had an outside dog in the spring and summer, youโve probably seen this.
Flies will land on the tips of the ears, bite, and keep coming back. Over time, it turns into scabs, bleeding, and ears that just wonโt heal.
Itโs called fly strike dermatitis, and itโs extremely common in dogs that live outside.
The problem is flies are attracted to the blood and irritation, so it becomes a cycle. Bite, bleed, attract more flies, repeat.
How to fix it comes down to breaking that cycle.
* Use a fly repellent safe for dogs, especially on the ears
* Keep the area clean and dry
* Apply a topical ointment to help healing and create a barrier
* In bad cases, your vet may prescribe medicated creams or antibiotics
* Reducing fly exposure as much as possible makes a big difference
Some dogs are just more prone to it, especially ones with thinner ears.
If you stay on top of it early, itโs easy to manage. If you ignore it, it turns into a bloody mess pretty quick.
