What a welcome relief the cooler weather is after our extremely hot summer. Our four-legged friends seem to be enjoying the milder days, too.
The arrival of Fall is a good time to get your animals ready for the colder weather. Every year when the season's change, we treat many horses with colic-like symptoms. Pay special attention to your horse's water intake. Access to clean, fresh water at a temperature that encourages your horse to drink is just as important during cold weather — and maybe more so — than during the heat. The same is true for your dogs, cats, goats and cows. Dehydration and its accompanying problems can occur any time of the year.
We also see a lot of horses — especially older ones — that have trouble adjusting to the colder temperatures because they cannot maintain body condition. If your horse is prone to losing weight during the winter, now is the time to get them in the best shape possible so you're not trying to pay catch-up when the weather gets really bad.
Regular dental work, parasite control, feed adjustments and proper supplementation are the main things that can help keep your horse healthy through the winter. Through December, we're offering a $99 SPECIAL on dental floats and parasite testing. Just call 501-556-5355 to make an appointment.
— Happy holidays to you and your family,
Drs. Mike and Karen Pallone and staff
