As always, we see an increased amount of colic in the fall. Despite the warm weather, please remember to use a larvicidal dewormer to prevent larval migration and encysted cyathostomes that are an important cause of colic.
We are an equine practice dedicated to the health and welfare of the horse. This practice was established in 1986 and has been committed to the horse and the horse owner throughout these years.
