Horse Emergencies Preparation

May 26, 2015 by John 1 Comment

Horse Emergencies Preparation

Do you know what to do with the wide range of horse emergencies? We know that if you own a horse there are going to be horse emergencies. How do you clean a wound? What is the proper way to take your horse’s heart rate? What should every equine first aid kit contain? These are the type of questions you need the answers to handle all sorts of horse emergencies.

Our local veterinary hospital, Bakersfield Large Animal Hospital, occasionally holds client seminars. We were invited to the most recent one held at a banquet room here locally. The topic was handling horse emergencies and the guest speaker was Dr. Jeff Hall, DVM. Dr. Hall works for Zoetis Pharmaceutical, a veterinary medical supply company. In his systematic approach, Dr. Hall offers some great advice when you are faced with an emergency situation. Dr. Hall also tells us about a new product we should consider including in our horse emergencies kit. Dormosadan® gel is a mild sedative that can be very useful to remove tension from many emergency situations.

We hope you find these educational podcasts informative and valuable. I would really love hearing your feedback.

What do you know about Horse Health?

How do maintain horse health? As a new horse owner, what costs are associated with horse health? Owning a horse is a great experience. Unfortunately, horses aren’t maintenance free. We wanted to answer these questions and more so we reached out to our reliable source of information and local expert on horse health, our veterinarian Dr. John Tolley. Dr. Tolley is a partner at Bakersfield large Animal Veterinary Hospital. With more than 20+ years of experience, he knows horses. On this show, you learn about horse feed requirements and supplementation. Plus, we tell you what vaccinations and worming products you need. Dr. Tolley talks about the importance of equine dentistry, too. Everything concerning horse health is covered in this general conversation.

Dr. Tolley says he will come back and share more thoughts on horse health. If you have a topic you would like to see us cover, please shoot me an email.
