State Of Equine Veterinarians Rounds with Doc T Nov 7, 2024 [[REPLAY]]
Howdy Advocates!
State of The Union: Veterinary medicine
It has been on my mind for a while, and I am sure many horse owners as well. The expansion of Veterinarians and the decline of Equine veterinarians. What does this say about the future of veterinary horse care?
This Rounds With Doc T turned into two things: 1) my view on where we… Read more

I’m glad he’s grazing well. You would notice if the grass he took into his mouth fell out, and his BCS would plummet.
I love horses being outside 24-7; however, for old horses in winter and on really wet and miserable days, bringing them into a clean, dry, and windless area helps them.

(2) He’s out 24-7 (except for coming into stall for three meals a day) on burmuda pasture and last winter there was winter rye. We’ve been in… Read more

Reply to Feeding the senior horse
Age makes feeding horses (and all of us) a bit more complicated. His age of 26 places him in the “Senior” category, but every horse differs. The good news is his inflammation is lower than most based on you feeding forage only; however, his BCS of 4 after a summer of pasture and his diagnosis of Cushing’s (PPID) tells me he isn’t… Read more

Hi Doc T:
Our 26yo draft cross (still hacks regularly) no longer can chew well. I’m currently feeding him soaked alfalfa pellets, SBM, and Coolstance three times a day. I’m chopping very leafy alfalfa hay into small pieces for him to eat at mealtime and he is turned out the rest of time on pasture with access to grass hay with his… Read more

It has two parts. The first is where I discuss winter preparations, including water, wind, blanketing, ventilation, and feeding. You can identify this in the video by seeing the whiteboard and my writing. Toward…
