❄️ ELSA WANTED!! ❄️
After a thorough investigation, arrest warrants have been obtained for Elsa for the illegal use of ice and snow. We’ve encountered this suspect in the past, and she is usually responsible for these frozen events.
Good news, with assistance from some unlikely individuals, we’ve developed a strong lead. 🎥 Stay tuned for video.
On a serious note, we ask everyone to please take the pending winter weather seriously and make appropriate plans to prepare your homes for possible power outages and extreme cold. Please stay off the roadway when possible and allow first responders and utility workers to do their jobs safely.
Be safe, Pickens. 💙❄️

As we enter Thanksgiving week in the US, many of your vets will be out of town or spending much needed time with their families.
It’s times like these that horse owners need to practice preventative caregiving.
During this holiday time, as an emergency only vet, I recommend the following:
- Don’t deworm your horse right now.
- Don’t start a new feed right now.
- Don’t get a new round bale of coastal hay right now if you’ve let the last one go to dust (give small amounts at a time or mix with a stemmy hay until they’ve had their fill, then give the round bale).
- Don’t change schedules.
- Don’t vaccinate your horse right now, especially if you have a known reactor.
- Don’t be in a rush and fail to soak your feed for long enough (choke risk) - especially if you’re late to feed due to holiday errands/get togethers.
- If you have visitors, limit treats. Ensure gates are closed. Make sure feed doors and bins locked.
There is already a shortage of equine vets - and the few we do have will likely be out of town or trying to enjoy the holiday.
Let’s all have a very Happy Thanksgiving. And let’s let our vets stay home with family!
Remember: Proper Preparation Prevents Postponed Potlucks! 😂🥴
