19.01.2022 Do you know the signs and symptoms of a snake bite and what to do in an emergency? Snake bite reactions can differ in every horse due to different species, amou...nt of venom, and where the horse was bitten. As horses can be quite inquisitive, snake bites can often be seen on the face or muzzle, but more often than not, bite marks are hard to detect due to the narrow shape of the fangs. Bites on the horse’s face are the most difficult to treat due to the high blood supply, causing rapid absorption. Signs & Symptoms of a Snake Bite: Wobbly gait & weakness Laboured breathing Colic signs sweating/pawing/rolling Swollen muzzle Dilated pupils Bleeding from mouth or nose These symptoms can also be indicators of other diseases, including Hendra virus infection so if your horse has any of the above symptoms, or you suspect that they have been bitten, it is important to keep the horse as calm as possible and avoid exposing yourself or anyone else to any secretions or discharges from the horse’s nose, mouth or eyes. Call your veterinarian immediately. It is vital that your horse is treated as soon as possible to achieve the best possible outcome.

02.01.2022 Beware of Sand Colic during Drought Conditions With many areas of the Eastern states declared in drought, there has been an increase in horses that are reported... suffering from symptoms of sand colic. Many horses and ponies fossicking for food in bare paddocks often start to paw and dig in search of plant roots or the remaining grass stems to eat. They have a high risk of ingesting soil, especially on sandy areas as they search for the roots. Horses will also ingest sand and dirt as they forage around on limited pasture or sandy soil, as well as when they are fed their hay on the ground. Fine beach-like sand compacts more readily as compared to coarse river type loamy sand. The ingested sand tends to settle out in the lower segments and corners of the bowels of the hind gut as the digesting feed mass slowly moves through at around 2 cm per minute. Often, over time, a large amount of the heavy sand deposits build-up, mixed with digestive particles leading to partial blockage of the hind gut in the narrow lower flexures. The accumulated sand mass can damage the digestive lining as its weight can devitalise the hind gut wall, causing it to rupture into to the abdominal cavity which can result in acute peritonitis. Often, the restriction within the hind gut can also increase the risk of impaction colic after consuming hay and other dry feeds. Studies have also shown that heavy burdens of Small Redworm resting stages within nodules in the lining of the hind gut can result in thickening of the lining and loss of normal contraction movements to propel the food mass through the hind gut, increasing the risk that the reduced motility will facilitate sand build-up and result in colic. An easy and simple way to approximately measure your horse’s sand throughput is to take a few pieces of fresh manure and place them into a bucket of clean, fresh water. Break the manure up as much as possible by mixing it with a stick and then let the mixture settle overnight. Any sand that is present will settle out into the bottom of the bucket. Tip out the contents of the bucket slowly to reveal the sand remaining at the bottom. This will provide an indication of how much sand is present in your horse’s manure, thus the amount of sand your horse is ingesting. In most cases, a layer of sand more than 2-3 mm thick is an indication that a significant amount of sand is being ingested. If you are concerned about how much sand that is accumulated, your vet can X-ray or ultrasound scan the lower flexures of the hind gut to detect the degree of sand impaction, especially if your horse has a recent history of repeated low grade episodes of colic. Sand removal is best achieved by feeding 70 100 g of dry psyllium husks per 100 kg body weight, mixed with coarse roughage, such as long chop wheaten chaff (or sunflower hulls) at 2 litres per 100kg body weight to help carry the psyllium husks through to the hind gut and gently shift the sand mass and psyllium mucus into the passed manure. Many horses do not enjoy this meal and we advise not to mix the psyllium with water as it becomes gluggy and even more unpalatable. We have excellent results in improving acceptance with a good ‘slurp’ of Kohnke’s Own Energy Gold oil, which has a yummy garlic flavouring that horses love! The psyllium husk meal is fed on two consecutive days for best results and can be repeated monthly if necessary where horses have a high risk of ingesting sand. It is unwise to feed small amounts of psyllium husk on a daily or even weekly basis as the hind gut microbiota can adapt to digest the psyllium fibre and reduce the efficiency of the sand removal. When the season breaks with heavy rain, or even flooding, there is an increased risk of sand ingestion as sand is splashed up onto any residual grassy stems or covers grass shoots and is ingested by hungry horses, often with a risk of sand colic about 3 weeks after the rain or flooding.
