DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TELL MILD COLIC FROM SEVERE COLIC?

Colic is not a disease, rather it is a symptom or behavior due to pain from the abdomen.

If you think your horse has colic, here is a list of things you should do to help your equine friend:
• Call your veterinarian.
• Remove all food from the horse.
• Water should be left with the horse unless there is excessive drinking.
• Keep the horse in an area where it can be watched.
• Allow the horse to rest or walk the animal if it is continually rolling or in danger of hurting itself.
• Continue observation to look for new symptoms.

Important information your veterinarian may ask for include specific signs of colic and severity; frequency of bowel movements; recent changes in housing, diet, exercise, etc.; medical history and current medical treatments; color and moistness of the gums; heart and respiratory rate; rectal temperature; capillary refill time (normal is 1-2 seconds) and amount of intestinal sounds (if any).

Things to avoid include administering any medications or procedures without first consulting with your veterinarian; passing a stomach tube into the horse's stomach; giving the horse any substance by mouth, particularly liquids; and giving intravenous injections.

The key to minimizing colic remains good management and early detection. For more information on colic and how you can prevent it, consult your horse doctor! ... See MoreSee Less

We are excited to welcome Dr. Joanie Palmero, DVM, DACVIM-LA to the team for the next few months! Dr. Palmero will be coming down every other weekend to cover hospital cases and emergencies.

Dr. Palmero, a native Floridian, achieved her undergraduate and veterinary degrees at the University of Florida. She subsequently completed an internship at the Equine Medical Center of Ocala (Florida) and a residency in Large Animal Internal Medicine at the University of California – Davis. She remained at UC Davis as an Assistant Staff Veterinarian until moving in 2012 to California's Santa Ynez Valley where she continued to work as an internal medicine specialist at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center until 2017. From 2017-2019, she served as medical director and associate for Vet's Here, a mobile mixed animal practice in Santa Barbara County. For the past few years, Dr. Palmero has been honored to serve as a guest clinician at several domestic and international private clinics and university teaching hospitals. She has also enjoyed providing relief and part-time help to organizations such as ASAP Cats and the Santa Maria Valley Humane Society while working to build her own mobile internal medicine and consulting practice. Although a board-certified specialist in large animal internal medicine, Dr. Palmero's veterinary interests have always been diverse, inspiring her to work with various domestic and wild species. Outside of work, she enjoys the beach, outdoors, music, athletic activities and exploring new places and flavors. ... See MoreSee Less
