One pigeon fever case can place an entire property under closer watch.

In Gallatin County, Montana, one horse has tested positive and 25 horses have been exposed. The group is currently under quarantine.

Late summer through fall is the peak period for infection, so practical prevention matters. Fly control, separate water buckets and equipment, careful wound management, and avoiding high-traffic tying areas can help reduce exposure.

Equine veterinarians play an essential role in helping owners recognize suspicious abscesses and respond appropriately.

More than a lecture. Supporting equine veterinarians. Giving back to horses.

We bring together renowned speakers to provide practical education that helps equine veterinarians deliver better care for horses. Our speakers often choose to donate their speaking fees to equine charities, helping horses beyond the room.

Recently, one of our speakers generously donated her fee to World Horse Welfare. Their work supports vulnerable horses through rescue and rehoming in the UK, welfare campaigning, and projects improving the lives of working horses and other equids overseas.

We’re grateful to our speaker for her generosity and to World Horse Welfare for the work they do every day.

A lameness case with “normal” radiographs can leave you with more questions than answers.

Dr. Rachel Murray’s work shows how MRI and advanced imaging can reveal subtle injuries. Making sense of those findings still takes good clinical reasoning.

You’re handed a feed bag and asked, “Is this good?” Label looks impressive… but how do you really know?

Most labels tell you just enough to sound complete, not enough to be accurate.

I’ve started ignoring the marketing and working backwards. Actual intake, key deficiencies like vitamin E or lysine, and whether starch is even disclosed. Often it isn’t.

If we trust the label at face value, we risk building diets that look balanced but aren’t.

When you break it down properly, you catch issues early and avoid a lot of downstream problems.

You can have two horses working at the same temperature and see very different responses when humidity rises.

Horses rely heavily on sweat evaporation to release heat. In humid conditions, that evaporation becomes less efficient, so heat can accumulate more quickly during and after exercise.

Workload, environmental conditions, body condition, and the individual horse all matter. Recognizing when normal cooling is no longer keeping pace allows you to stop work and begin active cooling sooner.

Equine veterinarians play an important role in helping owners understand that heat risk is more than a number on the thermometer.

You receive an offer with a good salary, but what happens after hours?

Ask how emergencies are shared, whether extra work is compensated, who covers the truck and fuel, and whether continuing education is genuinely supported. If you are early in your career, ask who will actually answer when you need help with a difficult case.

These details often affect your daily life far more than the headline figure.

Before accepting your next equine veterinarian job, read the full guide and compare the whole package.

You assess a hospitalized horse, adjust analgesia, and hand the case to the next clinician. Without a consistent pain score, subtle changes can be missed between shifts.

CVS Equine’s new analgesia initiative highlights a practical issue many hospitals recognize: pain assessment may be used, but not always routinely or consistently.

Embedding validated scoring into daily care gives the whole team a shared clinical picture. It supports earlier recognition, more informed analgesic decisions, and clearer monitoring of response.

You gastroscope a horse, treat for 28 days, recheck… or don’t, and hope it’s healed. We’ve all been there.

What’s changing is how much guesswork we tolerate.

Saliva markers are starting to give us a screening tool in the field, and even a way to track healing without repeated scopes. At the same time, I’m leaning harder on fiber strategies, alfalfa before work, consistent forage, not just omeprazole and done.

If we stick to “treat and hope,” relapse is common.

When you monitor and manage proactively, cases stay quiet longer.

Did you know?

A horse can lose vision from a melting corneal ulcer in less than 24–48 hours.

Melting ulcers occur when bacteria, fungi, and inflammatory enzymes begin breaking down the cornea faster than it can heal. What starts as a small ulcer can quickly progress to corneal perforation and permanent vision loss if not treated aggressively.
