Did you know there is a new genetic disorder, linked in American Quarter Horses?

❗️Equine Juvenile Spinocerebellar Ataxia (EJSCA) is an inherited neurologic disease that causes ataxia in foals.❗️

🟥Phenotype: Affected foals develop ataxia, or incoordination, between 1 and 4 weeks of age. The disorder progresses within a few days until affected foals are unable to stand without assistance.

🟥Mode of Inheritance: Autosomal recessive

🟥Alleles: N = Normal/Unaffected, JSA = juvenile spinocerebellar ataxia

Explanation of results:
• Horses with N/N genotype will not have equine juvenile spinocerebellar ataxia and will not transmit the JSA allele to their offspring.
• Horses with N/JSA genotype will not have equine juvenile spinocerebellar ataxia, but are carriers. They may transmit the JSA allele to 50% of their offspring. Breedings between two carriers result in a 25% chance of producing an EJSCA-affected foal.
• Horses with JSA/JSA genotype will have juvenile spinocerebellar ataxia.

Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs. Please be aware of products you may have such as candies and gums that have it as an ingredient and keep it safely away from dogs.

Even though the reduced price spay and neuter special is over it doesn’t mean we can’t still carefully remove your cat’s ability to reproduce.

Please do not give your animals human medications, the results can be heartbreaking.

By Heather Koehn: "Worst case of jaundice I’ve ever seen. Ibuprofen toxicity. The dog got into a fight with the other dog and the owner gave one dose of 600mg ibuprofen about 5 days prior to presentation at my clinic. The owner elected humane euthanasia."

There should be something “catchy” to say about poor GW getting “hooked”. All joking aside this little guy presented after his owners found him stuck to his outdoor kennel. Their quick thinking got GW cut loose, but a piece of the kennel wiring was still in his hind leg.

His owners did great though and did not try to remove it and kept him calm and still and transported him to Dr. Whitt. Dr. Whitt placed an IV catheter, administered a shock bolus of fluids and gave GW sedation. The wire had to be removed through a small incision made on the lateral (outside) aspect of his thigh even though it originated from the medial (inside) of his thigh.

Some antibiotics and anti inflammatories should help him get back to being the best catch very soon.

Beautiful “Boo” is back home with her humans today. Boo presented to Dr. Whitt on an emergency basis for a uterine prolapse. A uterine prolapse needs to be fixed immediately as not only can it prevent urination, leading to risk of bladder rupture, the tissue can also lose blood supply and environmental contamination can lead to severe infection. After the prolapse is reduced a standard spay procedure is performed. The risk of uterine prolapse can be completely eliminated with spaying females, watch for our next post for our upcoming spay and neuter specials!
