⚠️ Capeweed Warning for Horse Owners ⚠️

This is a must-read post about a frightening but surprisingly common issue — ‘Tetany’ caused by capeweed, especially after mowing.

Even mild signs like stiffness, spookiness or needle sensitivity can be early warnings of mineral imbalance. The pony in this story was lucky his owner acted fast!

🌿 Take a look and check your paddocks — capeweed can become dangerous under the right (or wrong!) conditions.

🐶🐍 Pet vs Snake?!

If your pet collapses then “recovers” — get to the vet ASAP! It’s often a deadly bite.

Don’t waste time looking for a bite mark — just keep them calm, carry them to the car, and call your vet on the way.

No home remedies — antivenom saves lives.

🐶 Pet vs snake 🐍 Now what do I do?!!

The most important sign is collapse followed by apparent recovery -> get to the vet ASAP! These particular cases are often a deadly bite if we don’t intervene quickly.

Other signs include:
🐍 LOTS of drooling
🐍 Dilated pupils
🐍 Weak, wobbly or paralysis
🐍 Vomiting, Diarrhoea or urinating themselves
🐍 Muscle tremors, shaking and reduced eye blinking

Redbelly black snake bite signs also include:
🐍 Muscle pain
🐍 Painful swelling
🐍 Reluctance to move
🐍 Discoloured, dark urine (often bloody)

You almost never see the bite site so don’t waste time looking! If you see or suspect a pet vs snake interaction:
👩🏻‍⚕️ Keep calm! Safely call the pet away from danger and keep yourself and other people and pets safe
👩🏻‍⚕️ Get your pet calmly into the car reducing the pets movement (carry don’t run it to the car) and start driving to the vet clinic
👩🏻‍⚕️ Call the vet clinic to let them know you are coming with a snake bite so they can be ready to treat your pet immediately on arrival
👩🏻‍⚕️ Drive safely and PLEASE don’t bring us the dead snake! 😵‍💫

There are no home remedies for snake bite. Antivenom is the only treatment for an envenomated dog and this has to be given intravenously by a veterinarian. Snake bites are a time critical emergency.

⚠️ Strangles Outbreak–Central Coast, NSW ⚠️

Strangles is a highly contagious respiratory disease in horses.

Keep an eye out for fever, nasal discharge, cough, or swollen glands under the jaw.

🚨 If you notice any signs — isolate immediately and call your vet.

Good hygiene and smart biosecurity save horses.

More info from Dr Jordie Flood 👇

ℹ️Information for horse owners ℹ️

From our Young Member President Dr Jordie Flood

⚠️ Recent Strangles Outbreak – Central Coast, New South Wales ⚠️

Strangles is a highly contagious respiratory disease in horses caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equisubspecies equi. Recent outbreaks have been reported in Central Coast, New South Wales.

It spreads easily through direct contact with infected horses or indirect contactwith contaminated gear, feed, water, or handlers’ clothing.
Horses usually show signs within 3 – 8 days of infection.
Strangles can affect horses of any age and is most common where horses are kept in close contact — such as studs, shows, and agistment centres.

❗️Clinical signs to watch for:❗️
• Fever (39.0 – 40.5 °C)
• Nasal discharge or runny nose
• Cough
• Painful, swollen lymph nodes (especially under the jaw)
• Difficulty swallowing or breathing
• Depression or dullness

🚨 If your horse shows any of these signs, isolate it away from other horses immediately and contact your veterinarian.

Preventing spread:
• Keep sick horses separated
• Practice good hygiene, including frequently washing hands
• Avoid sharing gear, feed bins, or water troughs
• Wash hands, boots, and clothing after handling sick horses
• Quarantine new arrivals for at least 2 weeks

Here is some more good information for further reading from disease surveillance in the UK. It covers the clinical signs and management strategies. It does mention a newer vaccine that is not yet available here and is different to the one we have in Australia.

🌟 Client Testimonial – Fi & Rebel 🌟

“This morning I took Rebel to Jess as I noticed she seemed a bit tight and wasn’t getting her usual reach and drive in her movement — typical 10-month-old crazy puppy energy!

After seeing Jess, she had so much more reach and drive, moving freely around the ring. Thanks so much, Jess — we ended up RUBOB and Junior in Group after our adjustment!” 💪🐾💛

So thrilled to see this pair feeling and performing their best!
