🐴 Welcome Tilly!

Some of you may recognise Tilly from placement she completed with us recently. Since then, Tilly has finished her HSC exams and decided to stay on as part of the HEVC team! 💃🏼

Tilly has had a love for horses from a very young age, and they’ve been a huge part of her life for as long as she can remember.

Most of her weekends are spent travelling around and competing in team penning and arena sorting, and she has recently started giving stockman’s challenges a go as well! She loves being involved in the horse world and spending time learning new skills and taking on new challenges.

Tilly is excited to be part of the HEVC team and to continue building her knowledge, skills and experience in the veterinary industry. She’s looking forward to meeting lots of our lovely clients and their horses 🐎

🕵️‍♀️ MYSTERY SPECIMEN REVEALED! 🐴🔍

We had food guesses galore 🍪🍫 🧇 and plenty of interest in our trusty ruler 📏 (unfortunately I was unable to find a manufacture date for those asking).

But the truth is… it’s a BLADDER STONE (urolith) 🪨😳

That’s right — this little rock wasn’t mined from the ground, baked in an oven, or pulled out of a packet. It came from a horse’s bladder!

Thanks to everyone who had a guess and joined in the fun! You’ve certainly proved that our followers have fantastic imaginations and very adventurous taste buds 😂.

🐴This horse underwent surgery last week with our visiting surgeon, Hadley Willsallen. Surgery went smoothly and he is now recovering, one stone lighter!

🔍Bladder stones in horses are a bit different to other species: they are typically Calcium carbonate in composition and are not very common. They usually cause bloody coloured urine (especially after exercise), straining to urinate, frequent/ uncomfortable urination, colic-like signs or even complete urinary obstruction. Uroliths are diagnosed using a combination of re**al palpation, ultrasound and cystoscopy (putting a camera into the bladder).

✂️In horses, calcium carbonate uroliths cannot be dissolved by dietary changes; therefore, they must be removed. Hadley along with our team, was able to successfully remove this urolith under standing sedation, with an epidural and local anaesthesia.

He has since been discharged into the care of his dedicated owners, and we wish him a fast recovery 🐎

Summer sores! Did you know these are caused by an insect larvae!?🪱

That's right! This occurs when Habronema larvae are deposited on the horse, usually near the mouth, eyes, p***s or on a wound. The microscopic larvae then burrows through the flesh and stimulates a profound inflammatory response. This can lead to ulceration, granulomatous mass production, itchiness and pain!

These sores don't heal in a normal time frame and fail to respond to normal wound care. Habronema is usually diagnosed by your vet based on appearance, history and biopsy. The good news is that these are often readily treatable. Depending on the type and location, a combination of anti-parasite medications, steroids and antibiotics are often used.

If you are concerned your horse could have a summer sore, please do not hesitate to contact us on ☎️02 6040 2397.

Have you ever seen a sarcoid before? 🔍

Sarcoids are the most common skin tumours in horses. This is a tricky condition because it can present in 6 different forms! Have a look at the pictures below and see if you can guess which pictures represent an occult, verrucous, nodular, fibroblastic, mixed and metastatic sarcoid. Sarcoids are also tricky because they can look a lot like many other conditions. They also tend to remain static or grow slowly until they become 'activated'. They can then rapidly grow and become aggressive. The severity of a sarcoid depends on its type and location, as this can alter how difficult it is to treat.

There are many available treatments for sarcoids. Different types of sarcoids and different locations require different treatments. There are also many non-veterinary, online or home-made treatments popularised. These are not recommended as many are dangerous to either the horse or human. Sarcoids are also very sensitive, and inappropriate treatment can cause them to become aggressive (and more diffciult to accurately treat) or may result in severe reoccurrence

What should you do if you suspect your horse has a sarcoid?
1. Don't attempt to treat it without veterinary consultation!
2. Take a photo and monitor. If it grows or fails to resolve in a timely manner, a veterinary examination is required.
3. If you are concerned, and especially if the lesion is around the eye or on the legs, you should arrange a veterinary consultation to discuss diagnosis and treatment.

If you would like to organise a veterinary assessment, please contact our office on ☎️02 6040 2397

Puss-tatsic! 🤢

🐴This gorgeous lady presented to us this week because her diligent owner noticed a suspicious lump under her jaw that just kept growing!

🩺Lumps in this area could mean many things- dental problems, salivary gland inflammation, lymph node enlargement, abscessation and much more!

🔎After a careful external and oral examination, it was determined that this patient had an abscess, most likely from a migrating grass seed.

💉A small needle was inserted initially to confirm the diagnosis. Then, under sedation, the abscess was opened up to drain – what a relief!

If you notice any lumps or bumps on your horse that you are concerned about, do not hesitate to give Hume Equine Veterinary Clinic a call on ☎️(02) 6040 2397

Is your horse up to date with their tetanus vaccination? 💉

Did you know that horses are prone to tetanus infections? Not only are equids especially susceptible to clostridial diseases (the bacteria which causes tetanus), but they are constantly developing injuries, abscesses and dental issues which are then exposed to dirt – where clostridium lives. 🦠

What does tetanus do to a horse? It is a devastating and frequently fatal disease. It can start as localised stiffness/ tremors and spread to the whole body. In severe cases, it can cause painful spastic paralysis, respiratory failure and death. Treatment is intensive and may be unsuccessful with a mortality rate of up to 80%.

Prevention is MUCH better than cure! Thankfully, we have a very effective vaccine with low rate of minor side effects and, owners can give it themselves.

How should you vaccinate your horse:
💉 If your horse has not been vaccinated, 2 vaccines should be given 4-6 weeks apart followed by 12 monthly boosters.
💉 If you horse has a wound and is not up to date, the horse should have a tetanus vaccine and antitoxin, followed by a vaccine in 4 weeks, then 12 monthly
💉 Pregnant mares should have a tetanus booster vaccine 4-8 weeks before foaling to protect the mare and the foal via colostrum.
💉 Foals may be vaccinated from 3 months of age. 2 vaccines should be given 4-6 weeks apart, with a third given at 6 months if the second vaccine occurs before this age. 12 monthly vaccinations should be given thereafter.

☎️ If you have any questions, would like to have your horses tetanus vaccination updated or require advice for your horses specific vaccination recommendations, please do not hesitate to give us a call on 02 6040 2397
