Spring has sprung, and so has the lush grass! 🌷 But this fresh, sugary grass can lead to a variety of health issues, ranging from colic to Equine Metabolic Syndrome. We’d like to share a few simple precautions and considerations to take when transitioning your horse to turnout this Spring.

⏱️ If your horse had minimal turnout throughout Winter, it’s best to reintroduce them to fresh grass slowly! You can start with 10-15 minutes of grazing at a time, gradually increasing that time over the course of several weeks.

☀️ Grass tends to be lower in sugar in the morning, with that sugar content increasing throughout the day, until reaching it's peak in the late afternoon. Consider limiting your horse’s grazing time accordingly.

🌱 Shorter grass is actually higher in sugar and starches than long, mature grass, so avoid turning your horse out in a freshly cut/well-grazed field when possible.

🐴 A grazing muzzle can be an easy and effective way to help limit your horse’s grass intake in turnout.

🌾 Always providing fresh hay in the field is important, as it aids in digestion and provides your horse with a forage option that is lower in sugar than grass.

As always, here at B.W. Furlong & Associates, we are here to help! If you have any further questions or concerns about Spring grazing and how it relates to your horse's health, give us a call us at (908) 439-2821 📞

A strangulating lipoma can quickly create a life-threatening emergency for a horse, and in this particular case, acting fast was crucial to this patient’s outcome. 🚨

The patient was tacked up for a routine ride when he became acutely painful at the mounting block, showing signs of colic. His owners rushed him to the hospital, where it was immediately decided that surgical intervention was necessary. Dr. Whyard and our surgery team sprung into action.

Often, a procedure called a resection is needed to remove dead colon as a result of interrupted blood flow. However, due to the swift referral, no resection was required for this horse. This patient also had a mesodiverticular band located 2 feet away from the affected small intestine region, which is an odd congenital abnormality of the mesentery (connective tissue) in some horses. Although it was not causing any issues, it was removed to prevent any future obstruction.

Additionally, a second large lipoma was identified in the horse's abdomen! Although it was not yet affecting his digestive tract, it was removed as a precaution as well. After surgery, it took a few days for the patient's digestive system to return to normal, but we are happy to report that he recovered well, and has since returned home to his owner! ❤️🐴

Does your horse have an itch they just can’t seem to scratch? 🐎 Here at B.W. Furlong & Associates, we can help find a solution.

An intradermal allergy test identifies specific triggers by injecting 32 common antigens under the horse’s skin. A veterinarian will then monitor the skin's reactions over the next several hours to determine what may be affecting them. Once identified, customized immunotherapy (allergy shots) can be developed to minimize the horse's specific sensitivities and provide long-term relief.
