HOOF ABSCESSES
Wet and muddy conditions mean that we are seeing a lot hoof abscesses at the moment.
Hoof Abscesses occur when dirt and bacteria get trapped inside the sensitive tissues beneath the hoof wall and the sole. This foreign material starts off an inflammatory reaction forming pus, which as it expands puts pressure on the sensitive soft tissues within the foot causing a great deal of pain. The main treatment for any abscess is drainage. Call your vet or farrier if an abscess is suspected. The majority of hoof abscesses are quick and easy to treat, most becoming completely comfortable within a short time and without any long term complications. If you notice your horse in discomfort, please call us for a diagnosis and to ensure the right treatment. |

TREATING AN OVERHEATED HORSE
Signs of an overheated horse/heatstroke may include the following: temperature as high as 40C, rapid breathing, rapid pulse, stumbling, weakness, depression, refusal to eat/drink and dehydration. In severe cases, a horse may collapse or go into convulsions or a coma.
SHADE Remove tack and place animal in the shade, if possible add a breeze with a fan. COOL OFF Splash or spray the horse with cool water, you can also ice neck, forehead, inside of front and back legs. RE-HYDRATE Provide water to replace the fluids the horse lost with sweat. Electrolytes may also be given. MONITOR If the horse is not back to normal within an hour or if you're unsure, call your veterinarian immediately! |
Most of us have heard some variation of the saying ‘Never give an overheated horse cold water or they will colic’. This is incorrect. In fact it is vital for a hot, sweaty horse to be able to drink to prevent heat stroke and dehydration. However they should be monitored to AVOID DRINKING TOO MUCH TOO QUICKLY! Their stomachs are relatively small, allow them to drink small amounts of water every 15-20 minutes until they are satisfied

HOT WEATHER TIPS
Summer has well and truly arrived with extreme temperatures predicted for tomorrow. It is very important to keep your horses hydrated. Please read the following tips and suggestions to keep your horses healthy and comfortable at all times.
Hydration
- Monitore water intake, horses consuming between 20 and 60L of water per day. - Drinking water has to be clean and fresh. - Use molasses to sweeten water if your horse is reluctant to drink. - Add electrolyte supplements to feed daily. During exercise horses can lose up the 15l of sweat, containing critical electrolytes that need to be replaced. - Use electrolyte pastes to deliver concentrated doses of electrolytes following exercise. Interestingly, when horses become 10% dehydrated and have low salt concentrations in their blood, they often refuse to drink and require salt and electrolyte supplements to stimulate their thirst. |
Paddock and Stables
- If your horse is in a paddock, ensure they have adequate shade or shelter.
- Keep rugs and boots as light as possible and at a minimum.
- If your horse is stabled ensure there is adequate airflow. Remove all rugs and boots.
- Access to clean and fresh drinking water at all times.
- Provide your horse with a salt lick in their paddock and/or stable to encourage salt intake.
- Use misters and fans in stables and shelters if available.
Exercise
It is important to minimise exercise during hot weather, try working your horse early or late in the day to minimise the risk of a heatstroke.
- Avoid exercising your horse during the hottest time of the day between 10am-4pm.
- Walk your horse for at least 5-10 minutes following exercise to allow to cool down.
- Hose your horse off with cold water, focusing on high heat areas such as the flank and chest.
- Allow your horse to completely cool down before rugging.
- Use electrolyte pastes to replace electrolytes following exercise.
Feeding
- If possible, feed three small meals during the day, instead of one or two big feeds. This prevents excessive overloading of the digestive tract while also minimising the heat of digestion which may increase core body temperature.
- Dampen feeds, especially hay and chaff if possible.
- Consider feeding high fibre mashes such as speedibeet.
- Add daily electrolytes to feed.
Please call us immediately if you have any questions or concerns about your horse.

TICK PARALYSIS IN HORSES
Unfortunately we’re seeing many cases of tick paralysis at the moment. Please check your horses, ponies and foals thoroughly daily (don’t forget your cats, dogs and any other pets).
Tick paralysis is extremely serious, especially in small horses and foals. Even with treatment, unfortunately the mortality rate is still quite high.
Tick paralysis is extremely serious, especially in small horses and foals. Even with treatment, unfortunately the mortality rate is still quite high.
Signs to watch out for:
• weakness, wobbliness or unwillingness to stand • coughing or difficulty chewing • increased breathing rate and effort • general lethargy or dullness Some advice to help prevent tick paralysis: • DAILY tick checks • if your little friend is a slow shedder with thick hair, it may help to get them clipped coming into summer • tick preventative sprays every 1-2 weeks. • slash long grass and keep horses away from scrubby areas if possible If you find a tick on your horse, remove carefully with tick tweezers and keep in a snap lock bag to show is when we arrive.

CHOKE
Choke in horses is a common equine emergency that occurs when food or a foreign body blocks the horse‘s oesophagus (muscular tube which carries food from the back of the mouth to the stomach). Choke is not immediately life threatening for horses like it is for humans, where choking refers to an obstruction in the tracheal (windpipe), but leaving it untreated or the issue unsolved, horses can become very ill and even die from complications caused by it.
Causes of choke:
The most common cause of choke is swallowing food or other material, that is either too dry or coarse (like hay or straw), or feed that swells rapidly once chewed (like sugar beet) so that its passage down the oesophagus is slowed or stopped. Choke can occur if horses eat too fast without chewing the food thoroughly first. Any condition that interferes with the horse’s ability to swallow (like sedation, trauma/injury to the neck or oesophagus etc.) can make horses more susceptible to choke. Another frequent cause of choke can be bad teeth leading to inadequate chewing. Signs of choke: The most obvious signs are discharge of saliva and feed material from the nostrils and/or mouth, depression and apparent difficulty in swallowing. Some horses will panic at first when choking, make repeated unsuccessful efforts to swallow, cough and gag as though trying to clear something from the back of the throat. If the condition has gone unnoticed, the horse may become dehydrated and severely depressed. |
Prevention of choke:
To avoid choke due to lack of chewing, the most important thing is proper dental care and check ups. To slow the eating down, there is different kind of feed bins available or even large salt blocks can be placed in the feeder to force horses to nibble around the stones to take in their feed more slowly. Separating horses while feeding can also slow them down to avoid the competitive nature that horses experience in herd situations. It is also recommended to place feed bins on the ground during feeding to stimulate a normal eating posture with the neck fully extended. Another cause can be feeds that are high in fiber as they have an increased capacity to absorb water. These feeds swell when they come in contact with water or saliva. To prevent these high fiber feeds from potentially causing choke in horses, they should be soaked or wetted prior to feeding. Wetting down feeds will not destroy their nutrient content and it is a great method to avoid a potential choke.
Complications caused by choke:
The most serious complication is oesophageal rupture either as a direct result of the obstruction or following attempts to dislodge it. Another possible complication, and unfortunately a more common one, is aspiration pneumonia. This means that while choked, the horse may aspirate (breathe in) fluid and/or food material into the trachea and lungs causing infection that may be fatal.
Diagnosis and treatment:
To confirm a horse is choking, your veterinarian will pass a stomach tube via a nostril down into the oesophagus to confirm that something is obstructing its passage into the stomach. This examination will also determine at what level the blockage has occurred. In many cases, saliva continually produced in the mouth lubricates the offending obstruction, eventually allowing its passage to the stomach. This means that sometimes oesophageal obstructions can clear on their own. If this doesn’t occur the veterinarian can help speed up resolution by administering a sedative or a spasmolytic injection to help relax the muscles of the oesophagus. Sometimes, this is all that is required. In more serious cases, such as ones that have gone unnoticed, resolving the blockage can be more difficult and can often involve the horse being referred to a hospital for intensive care and further medical treatment.
Although some cases clear on their own, if you think your horse has choke, call your veterinarian immediately. The sooner treatment is applied, the sooner the condition will resolve and complications are less likely. If you suspect your horse to have choke, do NOT let it attempt to eat or drink while waiting for the vet

TIPS TO KEEP CONDITION ON YOUR HORSE DURING WINTER
Winter has arrived on the Central Coast over the last few weeks! The chilly winter months can sometimes result in condition and weight loss for horses, especially older horses. The dropping temperatures can increase your horse's energy requirements and the winter pastures often are of a lower feed value. It is important to make sure your horses are in good condition going into the winter months, which means in most cases horses will go through winter looking and feeling great.
Increase fibre intake with quality hay or forage. - When fibre is fermented in the hindgut, the process creates heat in their body. A horse should be getting around 2% of their body weight in fibre daily. |
Increase the healthy bacteria in the hindgut.
- Horses need good bacteria to ferment the fibre in their diet and to boost their population they need to be well fed. Better fibre fermentation also means your horse can get more nutrients and energy from the fibre in their diet.
Add oils to feed.
- Oils are a great source of calories and energy for your horse which can be especially important in winter when they use more energy to stay warm. Oils are easily added and mixed to the horse’s daily feed.
Please contact us if you are concerned about your horse’s condition or health.

JENEQUINE BONE FORMULA FORTE AVAILABLE AT WEC
Fortified Calcium Supplement
Bighead and osteoporosis are a constant risk from high phosphorus, oxalates and phytates in feeds such as cereal and grassy hays, grains, bran and sub-tropical grass (including buddle, panic, kikuyu and setaria) found throughout Australia. Signs include shifting intermittent lameness, reluctance to move forward freely, joint pain, creaky joints, stiffness, dental problems and an increased risk of fractures, tendons and ligament injuries.
Maintaining mineral intake helps protect against imbalances and osteoporosis. Because there are soluble and insoluble oxalates, a mixture of chelated (organic) calcium and inorganic calcium is needed. Indicated for all horses and ponies in all disciplines, especially horses on high grain intakes, anti ulcer medication or oxalate pastures.
Available in 5kg and 10kg.
We also have Jenequine EzyMag in stock.
Please contact our office for further details on 0418299938.

SNAKE BITES
What to do if your horse has been bitten by a snake?
With the days are getting warmer, unfortunately the snakes will be out and about again! In our area the most common are the red belly black and the brown snakes. Symptoms of a snake bite can be:
If you notice any of the above symptoms in your horse, keep your horse calm and call us immediately. Also avoid exposing yourself or anyone else from any discharge of the horses mouth/nostrils/eyes as those symptoms are similar to diseases like the Hendra virus. Reactions can be different depending on the amount of venom, the type of snake and what part of the body has been bitten. You often see bites on the horses heads and muzzles as horses are very curious, as well as their legs. It can be hard to notice the actually bite marks due to the small size of the fangs. If you suspect your horse has been bitten or shows any of the above symptoms, it is vital to call us immediately. Photos are from Australian Snake Identification, Education + Advocacy [ASIEA] Great Facebook group to follow and to get informed about snakes. |

NOW STOCKING KOHNKE'S OWN PRODUCTS
We now have the following Kohnke's Own products in stock at the clinic:
Activ-8 Activ-8 is formulated to support a strong immune system which is crucial for overall health and performance. Factors such as hard training, stress and illness can take their toll on your horse’s immune system with coughs and colds causing unnecessary down-time, health complications and potentially putting other horses at risk of infection. Kohnke’s Own Activ-8 features specific nutrients which work to improve the responsiveness of the equine immune system, ensuring optimum function to help with recovery. Horses can benefit from a course of Activ-8 following general sickness, intense competition, prior to long distance travel or when they’re at risk of exposure to respiratory viruses from other horses at events. Available in 1kg and 3kg. TRIM Kohnke’s Own TRIM is designed to help normalise the metabolism in ‘good doer’ horses and ponies who may be at risk of laminitis and founder.Owners often struggle to reduce weight in these horses and ponies, even during periods of sparse grass or reduced feeding. While a trip to the ‘Jenny Craig’ paddock is a popular way to begin weight loss, it may not be successful if the horse or pony is an ‘easy-keeper’. TRIM can be used before the horse is at risk of laminitis or founder, but it can also quickly soften and reduce cresty necks and tail butt fat which are the common signs that body condition of a horse or pony is above the healthy range. Available in 1.4kg. Cell-Salts Many owners do not realise that horses require higher levels of salt, especially when moderately sweating during daily work. Adding an electrolyte mix to the ration will encourage your horse to drink as well as replace the important minerals lost through sweat.Kohnke’s Own Cell-Salts contains sodium, chloride, potassium and magnesium which are commonly lost in sweat from exercise and are crucial for body function and performance. Available in 5kg. We are able to order any Kohnke's Own products upon request. Please call the office on 0418 299 938 if you would like to order. For more information feel free to have a look at the Kohnke's Own website. |
