16.01.2022 LAMENESS INVESTIGATION USING EQUINOSIS Q One of the most valuable tools in our hospital is the Equinosis Q Lameness Locator. This system uses inertial sensors to help diagnose subtle lameness. Recently, we have been able to arrive at a definitive diagnosis for a number of multiple limb lamenesses that previously we would have referred for scintigraphy or MRI. The most recent case was a 7 year old Warmblood gelding used for dressage. The owner reported that the horse was not ...moving as well as normal but could not pinpoint an obvious lameness. With the help of the lameness locator, nerve blocks and diagnostic imaging we were able to diagnose right fore foot pain, and bilateral hindlimb proximal suspensary desmitis. The horse has commenced a course of treatment and is now embarking on a rehabilitation program, soon to return to the dressage arena. If you have any questions regarding lameness or poor performance in your horse please contact us to see if our Equinosis Q system may help your horse. #Equinosis #Lameness

14.01.2022 Has your horse had colic surgery or have you thought about what you would do if your horse needed surgery? Staff at the Camden Equine Centre, University of Sydney are conducting a survey into owner knowledge and attitudes toward colic surgery. They are investigating if there are trends between the owner demographics and previous experience with colic, and whether owners elect to send horses for emergency surgery. The information that is gathered may help with the management ...of colic in the future. We would encourage our clients to complete the survey it consists of about 20 questions and should only take about 20 minutes of your time. To complete the survey and to learn about a project, please go to: https://redcap.sydney.edu.au/surveys/?s=C8CMC4MXXL To learn more about the project and for a full participant information statement, please go to: https://colicsurvey.weebly.com/ Camden Equine Centre @VeterinaryScienceSydney See more

14.01.2022 SEEH response to reintroduced stage 3 restrictions and safety measures We would like to advise all our clients that SEEH will continue to operate as normal as possible during these difficult times. Due to the reintroduction of COVID-19 stage 3 restrictions we have had to implement the the following protocols. All staff will be wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) while working, this is to protect the business and staff from having to shut the clinic down if one ...of us contracts COVID-19 or comes into contact with someone that is affected by COVID-19. Horse owners and members of the public will be prohibited from entering the hospital. Horses will be admitted to the hospital from the car park. Where possible only one person to bring the horse to the clinic. Owners should contact the hospital by on (03) 87904922 upon arrival so we can assist you with unloading your horse. All further communication with owners will be done via phone, email or other non-contact technologies. We are continuing to provide regular consults for our clients. There are however some changes to the way we do them to allow us to implement the new protocols and keep everyone safe. Please discuss this when making your appointment. These measures are severe. Be reassured that we are taking these measures so that we can continue to provide horses with ongoing and uninterrupted care during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also require that you let us know if you are suffering any cold/flu symptoms and/or if you have been in contact with a known or suspected case of COVID -19. We will keep you all updated on any changes. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Thank you. See more

08.01.2022 SAND COLIC Recently we have seen a number of cases of severe sand colic. Most horses have presented with colic signs but some horse present with diarrhea. This is because the sand impaction allows liquid manure content to flow past the impaction. Ultrasound and x-ray of the abdomen are important diagnostic tools in establishing a diagnosis of sand impaction when horses are not passing sand in their manure. The ingested sand drops to the bottom of the intestinal tract, mainl...y the large colon and can be seen on x-ray and ultrasound. Most sand colics can be treated medically with analgesia, oral fluids, magnesium sulphate and psyllium. However, some of the more severe cases require surgery to relieve the impaction. Prevention of sand colic is best approached by avoiding sandy paddocks. If this is not possible then feeding horses from feed bins and hay bags above the ground is advisable. The addition of psyllium to the diet is also recommended. We think that psyllium helps with intestinal movement, and agglutinates with the sand and allows it to pass through the gut as a gel. Psyllium is best fed daily for 5 to 7 days and then repeated every month until the horse has been removed from sandy paddocks. Psyllium administration should continue for 2 months after removal from sandy pasture.

07.01.2022 Happy vet nurse day to all the nurses at SEEH.

06.01.2022 We have had a lot of people asking if bringing their horse into the clinic is allowed at the moment. We would like to assure all our clients that we are an essential service and that we are open and seeing patients. Bringing your horse into the clinic is allowed. (correct 27 July 2020) Obviously these rules can change and we will keep you updated as we are given more information. As with the rest of metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell shire we are following all the rules of stage 3 as well as mandatory mask wearing. We do require all clients to wear a mask (unless exempt) and follow the 1.5m social distance rule as well as our own protocols to ensure the safety of our staff and clients. Please see the agriculture Victoria website for up to date information. https://agriculture.vic.gov.au//covid-19-advice-for-animal

01.01.2022 Has Spring sprung with you? Our vets have noticed that we are getting some spring grass coming through and with the temperature warming up a bit we thought we would just give a heads up to all our clients especially ones with Laminitic prone horses/ponies, PPID and EMS sufferers to keep an extra eye on your equine friends. Now is the time to be proactive in your management to reduce the risk of problems occurring. If you have any questions please contact the clinic to speak to one of our friendly vets.
