Rabies is a fatal viral disease of mammals and occurs infrequently in horses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that equids account for less than 1% of all rabies cases in the USA; the total number of equine cases has historically ranged from 25–82 annually.

“Thank you Dr. Bruce Lowry, for your distinct training tips that you provided me for my horse Cam; while we prepared for the 25 mile CTR at the Fla 100. 75th anniversary competitive trial ride Feb. 2, 2025.
I feel your chiropractic adjustments, blood work and observations of Cam’s move outs during training were instrumental to his fitness.
Your critiques and observations while Cam and I trotted along the canal as you evaluated while following in your truck were greatly appreciated. Your thumbs up affirmation was when we knew we were ready. Turns out you were 100% correct as Cam and I placed 1st in the “25 mile CTR” and 1st in “ Best Horse & Rider” competition. Wow! This was Cam’s first time ever in these events. Cam and I again thank you for going the extra mile and helping with the win.
Sincerely,
Chris Catchpole”

While it’s a common equine emergency, esophageal obstruction (“choke”) can look alarming, especially if you've never seen it before. Unlike in human medicine, where choking refers to a tracheal (or windpipe) obstruction, choke in horses refers to an obstruction of the esophagus (the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach).

Most commonly, choking occurs when horses eat concentrated feed too quickly without chewing appropriately, which results in a firm bolus lodged in the animal's esophagus. However, esophageal obstruction can also occur with hay or straw, hard treats, carrots, or nonfood objects. Poor dentition, which leads to inadequate chewing, is also a frequent cause of choke.

While common, choke can have serious consequences. So, be sure to call your veterinarian as soon as you notice signs of choke. A bad choke is fairly obvious to both veterinarians and horse owners, but a mild choke could be confused with an upper respiratory tract infection or colic.

The warm, late summer temperatures have brought more than lazy days outside. Late summer has welcomed more mosquitoes and signaled the start of West Nile (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) season for horses and humans.
