    Can you talk about colic. I lost a horse recently and I tried everything but it was to little too late. I want to learn more about it and how to be prepared to treat and prevent death. What do at what stages and what to look out for. Any tips?

    Very informative! The chewing or grinding of teeth is something I noticed in my mare along with colic signs like biting her sides. I took her in to be scoped and she had actively bleeding ulcers. This is the calmest most sane horse in our barn and one we would never associate with being upset. This video has been very helpful. She’s currently at the vet hospital receiving three of the meds you mentioned. They also want me to start using Purina Outlast in addition to more grazing and more frequent meals. She’s had a biopsy, just in case.

    Thanks for this valuable information Dr Matt. My POA is 29 and just diagnosed with Cushings. Next step is to discuss his treatment with the vet. His clinical signs are minimal at this time. Should a pony his age even be treated? Will the treatment potentially improve his quality of life?

    • @inthevettruck3029
      @inthevettruck3029 Рік тому

      I would definitely recommend the treatment at least for a couple months to see what it does. For most horses, it will extend their lifespan and improve quality of life.

    Hello, thank you for the information on Cushings. At the rescue ranch where I am a volunteer we have a senior horse that has Cushings and is on medication for it. My question is since the horse has very long hair (we are in Arizona) is it okay to buzz the hair off? We soon will be in triple digits temps and we would like to help keep the horse cool.

    Hi. Thanks for a very informative video. Can you elaborate a bit about how the cribbing makes it worse? Im not sure i understand the longer duration on a emty stomach? I have 2 geldings who crib bites (bought fro the age of 5 well knowing they where cribbing). One has been treated twice this year for stomache ulcers (prooven by scope), and I have now asked my vet for an excamination/ultra sound scan of colon and abdonimal, since last treatment didnt make him better and I find his symptoms pointing towards a hindgut desease. But i do find a lot of different oppinions on whether or not to prevent the horse from cribbing. I know his was restricted cribbing at previously owner. Could it increase his level of stress? Thanks in behalf. Regards Lizzie

    • @CactusCowgirl
      @CactusCowgirl 2 роки тому

      I think what he means is, as you probably know, when a horse is cribbing they swallow air. If they swallow enough air they feel full and don’t want to eat. And and empty stomach increases the risk of ulcers. I hope that helped. :)

    Finally! what I've been searching all over the internet for, straight to the point and very informative and detailed. Thanks so much for the information. I'm wondering what you think about using "wonder dust" on a wound daily, after the proud flesh has been removed. Would the wound ever be able to heal if your constantly burning it? Help! thank you.

    • @inthevettruck3029
      @inthevettruck3029 3 роки тому

      Wonder dust can be used to slow down hemorrhage at the time of the incident if you don’t have any other options. But pressure is always preferable. Anything caustic like wonder dust will slow down healing so some degree. The wound may eventually heal up but slower than if it wasn’t used

    I know you cannot give specific medical advice, but I have a question. Can a horse with moderate hock arthritis be ridden gently? Trail riding at the walk and bits of trot? I ride an older belgian mare who becomes a bit symptomatic in the colder months. She loves to go out walking but becomes a bit stiff and limpy after too much trot. I believe she will be started on adequine soon by her owner.

    • @inthevettruck3029
