Deworming and Treatment for Internal Parasites
Deworming recommendations have changed dramatically over the past several years. It is no longer recommended to deworm horses every 6-8 weeks as in the past. More targeted treatment and individual parasite control measures are no recommended. The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) website has good, scientific recommendations for equine parasite control. Any deworming program should be discussed with your veterinarian and routine fecal testing is strongly advised to formulate a strategy appropriate for your horse and his stabling conditions.
Treatment for Infectious Diseases
It is better to avoid serious infectious diseases before they happen.Administration of vaccines for tetanus, equine encephalomyelitis, rabies, influenza, equine herpes virus, West Nile virus and other preventable infectious diseases can prevent or minimize the severity of disease. Should your horse contract an infection, early diagnosis and treatment is essential to maximize your chances for a timely and full recovery.
Treatment for Injury or Trauma
When your horse has an accident and suffers an injury or other trauma, Warwick Equine Clinic is there for you. We can treat most emergencies at the stable and for more involved procedures, horses can be shipped in to the clinic for more complicated procedures.
Colic
Colic cases are often true emergencies as differentiating between a simple gas colic, a more serious impaction or even a critical torsion or displacement requiring surgery is critical to a successful outcome. Ideally, no medication should be administered prior to a veterinary exam or discussion with the veterinarian, as treating the condition prior to an examination can thwart or delay accurate diagnosis resulting in delay of appropriate treatment.
