Just to let everyone know, Cameron Pharmacy is no longer making and selling the acetyl glucosamine. We have a new source, and it will be ordered right through the clinic. We will invoice you and once paid, I will order and have it drop shipped. It is even at a better price. Just send a private message or call and I will invoice you. Thank you (Patti)

Many of you know how frustrating dealing with sarcoids can be. Here's a new treatment modality that is showing promise. Not available yet in general practice, but we can hope.

Ultrasound technique histotripsy has already been used on one mare in the US

Depends entirely on your accountant, I guess.

Canada is on fire again, and it's time to consider how to protect your horse from respiratory damage caused by smoke inhalation.
The goal in limiting exercise is to minimize the amount of particulate matter allowed to lodge in the lungs during these times of poor air quality, and to give horses time to fully clear the "debris" before resuming training or work.
The lung volume of the average horse is almost 10 times that of a human, and a horse at work can move 80 cubic feet of air per minute. Small particulates in the smoke can get lodged in the small airways and cause significant inflammation.
The following recommendations are from the Bend Equine Medical Center.

Some handy rules of thumb (but keep in mind there’s not a lot of data to support exact numbers so you may see some variation in recommendations):

-Avoid trot and canter/lope exercise when air quality exceeds 150 AQI.
-Avoid any forced exercise over 200 AQI.
-For severe smoke inhalation, as in the case of horses literally in the midst of wildfires, four to six weeks of rest is recommended.
-For each day of AQI >150, horses should receive one day of rest *after* the air quality returns to

Father's day gets better every year. One of my daughters-in-law presented me with two first printing publications and a print of "The Weary Vet". The first were presented in shadow boxes with period matching notes and miniature medicine bottles. The print is framed in hand painted beveled wood. Fantastic examples of "old school" medicine to add to my collection.

Hello, it is nice to be open again. We are starting out very slowly. Dr. Mike is still healing and has to gradually get back into work. No castrations or wrestling with horses the next several weeks. We are starting to do our yearly Coggins and vaccines. Coggins did go up to $45 dollars and vax increased by roughly 5 percent, depending on which one. I have to stress that payment will be due at the time of service. If you cannot be at your appointment, we can send you an invoice that can be prepaid. We won’t be running any lab work without payment. Doc can take check, cash or a square for cc payment when on the call. We will have every Friday as a trailer in day depending of course on the weather. Many Tuesdays will also be available to trailer in.
We feel that we have the very best of clients, and we appreciate all of you so much. We are looking forward to a good productive safe year!
