Itโ€™s back!

Weโ€™re pleased to offer FREE ACTH testing to our clients. This is an opportunity to screen for Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) in horses showing signs or considered at risk.

PPID is caused by a hormonal imbalance that can significantly impact your horseโ€™s health and performance. ACTH testing helps with early detection, allowing for timely management and improved long-term outcomes.

๐ŸŒž Hot Weather & Dehydration in Horses ๐ŸŒž

As temperatures rise, horses can lose large amounts of fluid through sweat. Dehydration can develop quickly, particularly in working horses, older horses, and those with limited access to water.

โš ๏ธ Signs of dehydration to watch for:
โ€ข Reduced appetite, or early signs of colic
โ€ข Dark or reduced urine output
โ€ข Lethargy or dullness
โ€ข Dry gums or prolonged skin tenting
โ€ข Reduced sweating

๐Ÿ’ง How to help prevent dehydration:
โœ”๏ธ Ensure constant access to clean, fresh water
โœ”๏ธ Offer electrolytes during hot weather or increased work
โœ”๏ธ Provide shade and good airflow
โœ”๏ธ Avoid exercising during the hottest part of the day
โœ”๏ธ Monitor water intake, especially when travelling or competing

If youโ€™re concerned your horse isnโ€™t drinking enough or is showing signs of dehydration, early intervention is key.

๐Ÿ“ž Contact Franklin Equine Vets for advice or assistance, weโ€™re here to help keep your horses healthy and comfortable through the summer.

Stay cool and stay hydrated! ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’ฆ
