Embryo transfers are just one of the many services that we offer at our Equine Reproduction and Rehabilitation facility in Caledon. Take a listen to our podcast episode "Who's your Mommy?" with our lead vet assistant Karen Foell and Dr. Jim Welsh where they talk all about embryo transfers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439615155-FJQZDH53B8NVRD28N2ZX/f-+farrier.png Blog - A to Z with MP - F is for FARRIER! “No hoof, no horse” is a phrase every horse person knows. This is why your farrier is an essential member of your horse’s health care team. As veterinarians, we enjoy working with farriers to diagnose the cause of abnormalities or diseases of the hoof, like white line disease, quarter cracks, laminitis or abnormal growth patterns. Often, changes in the hoof reflect an underlying condition in the horse or lameness in another leg. We can see inside the hoof with our imaging tools such as digital x-ray, ultrasound or MRI to help our farrier colleagues best shoe your horse. We are happy to work with your farrier at our rehab facility for those difficult cases that need constant monitoring and treatments to aid in the healing of a hoof condition. At MPES, we value our ability to collaborate with farriers to help your horse be as healthy as possible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439630939-YCGIAA8QC8N9YPFDXZYR/g-+gastric+ulcers.png Blog - A to Z with MP - G is for GASTRIC ULCERS! Gastric ulcers, also known as stomach ulcers are sores that form on the stomach lining. They are more common than you think and can range in severity from rarely showing outward clinical signs to severe cases that result in chronic colic. Gastric ulcers have been reported to affect up to 90 percent of racehorses and 60 percent of show horses. There is so much to know and learn about Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS). Tune in to our Equiconnect Equine podcast episode about gastric ulcers with Dr. Sarah Shaw DVM, DACVIM where they discuss different types of ulcers, diagnostics, and treatments. Check out this real-life case study that takes us through the process of diagnosing an 11 year old mare with gastric ulcers and the successful treatment process. Often horses with ulcers present with a poor appetite, poor coat, recurrent colic, poor performance, cribbing, teeth grinding and sensitivity in the girth area however that is not always the case. Treatment protocols vary depending on the type of ulcer as well. Gastroscopy was key in the successful diagnosis of the types of gastric ulcers afflicting this horse and planning her treatment protocol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439738059-DZ3HYSBGBYW9PDDP6Q1H/h-+horses.png Blog - A to Z with MP - H is for HORSES! McKee-Pownall services horses of all different shapes, sizes and disciplines. From schoolies to retired horses, racehorses, show jumpers, eventers, dressage horses, barrel racers and everyone in between. All the pictures that are seen here are photos of some of our McKee-Pownall staff and their equine partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439737028-B6HR9N9S2Z4HWXI4FCHX/i+-+internship.png Blog - A to Z with MP - I is for INTERNSHIP! We are excited to have a new doctor soon-to-be-joining McKee-Pownall Equine Services for an internship. But what does that mean?! An intern is a graduated and fully licensed veterinarian who is seeking additional time after completing vet school to be mentored in a specific facet of the veterinary industry. In our case, an intern is seeking mentorship, experience, knowledge, and skill-building in equine practice. This is extremely important at a time when the equine industry is seeing a drastic decline in veterinarians. Our ability to provide a good experience for an intern will help ensure that the equine veterinary industry stays strong for years to come. Interns may be newly graduated veterinarians, or they may be experienced veterinarians who have decided to pursue specialized training in a specific area of the industry. So, what is an internship? An internship is a term used to describe the position an intern takes. Internships are often a year-long but can be longer depending on the needs of the intern and the practice. An internship is intended to be a year of mentorship where at the end the intern has gained significantly more confidence, experience, and skills in a specific area of veterinary medicine (like equine practice) than they would after a year of practice on their own. In return, equine practice (in general) gains a confident, experienced, and skilled veterinarian to join the workforce. Interns will typically spend the first few months working directly with a ‘senior’ veterinarian. As the intern gains experience, confidence, and skills, they do more and more on their own, until they are mostly working independently but always with a senior associate that they can call or request back up from. Almost every veterinarian at McKee-Pownall has come through an internship program and we are excited to be able to give back to our industry by offering our first-ever internship! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439724612-PNYOKGYIFLY3AMP4LNQ3/j-+joint+injections.png Blog - A to Z with MP - J is for JOINT INJECTIONS! Joint injections help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility in our equine partners. When do we recommend joint injections? - When joint disease/injury has been identified as a cause of poor performance or lameness by our veterinarian after a thorough exam, flexions, blocking and diagnostics - When a response to oral/injectable therapy has been suboptimal - When rapid, potent, localized effects are the goal - When the problem is isolated to specific joints What is Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)? DJD can happen with repetitive stress or trauma that initiates inflammation, which typically begins in the soft tissue layers of the joint. The inflamed synovial membrane permits white blood cells to enter the joint. Enzymes and inflammatory mediators are then released into the synovial fluid. - If unchecked, chronic inflammation leads to degradation of the articular cartilage - Once severely damaged, cartilage cannot heal itself - Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) eventually develops Signs of joint injury and Degenerative Joint Disease typically include: - Local swelling and heat - Altered stance and gaits - Pain on flexion and manipulation of joint - Poor performance - Change in attitude resists gate training or going to the track - Prolonged warm-up times - Good days and bad days (just like us!) If you think your equine partner may benefit from joint injections, please contact your veterinarian. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439738320-OY9SUWU05RV9QOMOMAY7/k+-+kissing+spine.png Blog - A to Z with MP - K is for KISSING SPINE! Kissing spines is a condition in which the vertebrae in the horse's back are touching or “kissing” as opposed to having a normal spaced-out orientation. This is a result of the interspinous ligament having increased tension pulling the vertebrae closer together than normal. This real case study takes us through the process of diagnosing and successfully treating an 8-year-old thoroughbred mare for kissing spine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439724808-7WZX2M6SZAB6AN16TE3I/l+-+lameness.png Blog - A to Z with MP - L is for LAMENESS! You know your horse better than anyone and you know that they aren’t quite right. Where do you go from there? At MPES, we offer in-depth lameness appointments across all of our service areas with our experienced team of veterinarians to get you answers and solutions for your equine partner. We also have two ship-in locations for horses that are not located in our service areas, as well as a standing MRI. What does a typical lameness appointment look like? The Exam This includes the history of your horse, a physical exam and watching your horse in motion. Flexions and Blocking Unless the horse is severely lame we will investigate further by performing flexion examinations and diagnostic nerve blocks. Flexions help us isolate a lameness to a region and diagnostic nerve blocks help us locate the lameness to a specific joint or structure. Diagnostics Once we have pinpointed a lameness in a specific area, we are then ready to take x-rays or perform an ultrasound to help us image specific structures and identify the cause of the lameness. Treatment We will then determine the best treatment option for your equine partner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439500942-FLYQ7JU8Q2XA546FP02Y/m+-+mri+%281%29.png Blog - A to Z with MP - M is for MRI! Did you know that our Campbellville facility is home to a Hallmarq MRI? This system allows a scan to be performed on a standing sedated horse, which eliminates the risks of general anesthesia and hospitalization required with traditional lying-down systems. MRI is a diagnostic technique using a magnetic field to produce pictures of structures inside the body. MRI signals yield multiple images in the form of “slices” of the foot or distal limb in several different orientations. MRI provides images of bone, fluid, and soft tissue and can also help to differentiate between active and chronic lesions. This enables us to observe injuries in a way that cannot be seen with any other equipment. Benefits of the Standing MRI include: - High-quality diagnostic images of bone and soft tissue - Detection of lesions not visible on x-rays and ultrasound - Eliminate the risk of general anesthesia- - Outpatient procedure, no need for hospitalization - Major medical insurance often covers a portion of the cost - Accurate diagnosis allows for earlier, more effective targeted treatment plans and prognosis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439503374-GG5JHT1G77QITTHDJ6UG/n+-navicular.png Blog - A to Z with MP - N is for NAVICULAR! Navicular syndrome is the inflammation or degeneration of the navicular bone and its surrounding tissue. Navicular syndrome can be managed in horses, but not cured as it is chronic and degenerative. The most common effective treatments include corrective shoeing and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) administration. This case example follows an 18-year-old QH gelding who was reluctant to move forward off the owner’s leg and his diagnosis process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439728208-KO64RSUVRIJAX0R6L2JT/o+-+ophthalmology.png Blog - A to Z with MP - O is for OPHTHALMOLOGY! The horse's eye is a delicate and complex structure which is why it's important to call your vet when it comes to equine eye injuries. In our podcast episode, "Equine Ophthalmology with Dr. Tara Richards", we dive into some insightful information on the equine eye. We are fortunate to have Dr. Richards consult and work on horses at our Rehabilitation Facility in Schomberg, Ontario and our newly built clinic in Campbellville, Ontario. Dr. Tara Richards is a board-certified ophthalmologist with the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO). As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Richards treats all species big and small, but she has a particular love for her equine patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439731391-DYBXJYBC4YH7WARY2HAP/P+-+PEMF.png Blog - A to Z with MP - P is for PEMF! PEMF stands for Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy and is offered to our clients at your farm and our Rehabilitation Facility with our certified Equine Massage Therapist, PEMF and Equine Physic tape practitioner, Marnie Raymond. PEMF delivers a gentle non-invasive and therapeutic magnetic pulse to stimulate the cell's metabolism, allowing the body to heal itself. Every time a pulse is delivered through the white tubing, damaged cells are pulled to the surface of the skin where they are “exercised” to once more be able to repair and regenerate compromised tissue, accelerate bone and wound healing and increase oxygen absorption in the cells. A practitioner is able to use the tubing all over the horse's body, any area that is experiencing pain and inflammation will jump under the pulse. Benefits of PEMF: - Increase in circulation, flexibility, immune response, bone density, range of motion, and neuromuscular response. - Decreases pain, stiffness, inflammation, edema, spasms and stress, bruises, contusions and buildup of lactic acid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439503864-F12EHJ1YIPCC2ZZHHKYZ/q+-+quarantine+%281%29.png Blog - A to Z with MP - Q is for QUARANTINE! Quarantine is when a horse is completely separated from contact with other horses to limit the transmission or spread of infection. Quarantine can be used for new horses, sick horses or even horses that have left the property and have the potential to bring back germs. When quarantining, be sure to use separate feeding, mucking and grooming equipment.

Ultrasonography enables us to evaluate soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments, to identify injuries and evaluate the progress of healing. It uses high-frequency sound waves to non-invasively image soft tissue. Ultrasonography is much more sensitive to soft tissue abnormalities than x-rays. Ultrasound is a great diagnostic tool and is most commonly used for tendons and reproductive structures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439512600-5C0JUPXL0JKJ0LB6VMVL/v+-+veterinarians.png Blog - A to Z with MP - V is for VETERINARIANS!

Digital radiographs are a version of traditional x-rays, where the image is processed via computer in high resolution, allowing us to identify subtle abnormalities. Our digital radiology systems feature a plate attached via cable to the computer processor. Each x-ray appears on the screen seconds after it is taken and is stored digitally within the system. Some systems have an image viewer and interface directly on top of the x-ray machine. Images can be emailed to another veterinarian, as we often do for prepurchase examinations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439734022-UFB7JBDM0ZXVYVRETLBB/Y+-+Yearling.png Blog - A to Z with MP - Y is for YEARLING! Yearling is a term used for horses that are between the ages of one and two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1656439734238-ESZEXZNODP3DGIHD30GA/Z+-+zoonotic.png Blog - A to Z with MP - Z is for ZOONOTIC DISEASES! A zoonotic disease is an infectious disease that is transmitted between species from animals to humans (or from humans to animals). Some common zoonotic diseases that you may have heard of before are Rabies and Ringworm. For the prevention of zoonotic diseases, ensure your horse receives regular veterinary care, implement a parasite prevention and vaccination protocol, ensure bio-security measures are in place and always wash your hands. If you have any questions about these diseases or concerns, please consult your veterinarian. https://www.mckeepownall.ca/mckee-pownall-blog/n-is-for-navicular monthly 0.5 2022-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1653663311109-1YHEQA359NBD7VHYDVRT/RF%2Bheels.jpg Blog -

The Exam The Exam When we see your horse for a lameness examination we want to understand the whole horse. Even if we are looking for a lameness associated with one limb we want to investigate the other limbs and the body to see if there are reasons in other parts of your horse that may be contributing to the lameness. The first part of the exam is getting a history. Our vets will ask numerous questions to give us clues as we begin our investigation. This is followed by a physical examination of the feet, limbs and body. While we have outstanding imaging equipment our fingers can tell us a lot as we palpate all over your horse as we look for areas of heat, swelling and pain. We then follow this up by looking at your horse in motion. We look at your horse walking and trotting in a straight line to see if there are obvious signs of lameness, or irregularities in how their feet land. This is followed by lunging your horse in both directions at the walk, trot and canter on both hard and soft ground. Not only are we looking for a lameness, but we are also looking for any irregularities and stiffness in their stride or body, and how they carry their head. We will look at your horse being ridden when we want to see if a particular lameness is seen only under saddle. By the time we finish taking a history, perform a physical exam and see your horse in motion we are getting an idea of the lameness and are ready to move on to flexing the limbs and often diagnostic nerve blocks to help further guide us in our lameness examination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/0b41b90f-92e6-43e0-8ed8-68ba97bacd2b/IMG_2276.jpg Lameness - Flexions And Blocking It is easy to assume we know where a lameness is located after finishing the first part of our lameness exam, but until we do further tests, we are just guessing. Making a diagnosis and treatment plan without further tests is often not in the best interest of you or your horse. When it comes to making a plan to treat your horse we risk treating the wrong area with the wrong protocol leading to further discomfort for your horse, wasted time and unnecessary expenses. Unless the horse is severely lame we will investigate further by performing flexion examinations and diagnostic nerve blocks. In the case of a severe lameness we will skip these further diagnostic tests since these could aggravate the lameness even more. Flexion exams focuses minor pressure on specific regions on a leg. It can help us identify if a lameness is in the carpus or in the fetlock of below in front, and the stifle, hock or fetlock and below in the hind limbs. The effect on a horse is very similar to us kneeling on the floor. Those of us with knee pain will be a bit creaky in one knee or both when we get up to stand. Flexions help us isolate a lameness to a region and diagnostic nerve blocks help us locate the lameness to a specific joint or structure. We use a numbing agent similar to that your dentist will use for a tooth filling. We begin at the foot region and work our way up. If the first block results in soundness we know the lameness is in the foot region. If the block doesn’t resolve the pain we move up the leg to target specific areas so we can tell if the lameness is between the foot and fetlock, the fetlock itself, between the carpus/hock and fetlock and so on. When we have pinpointed a lameness to a specific area we are then ready to take x-rays or perform an ultrasound to help us image specific structures and identify the cause of the lameness. If horses could talk we could skip many of these steps so in the best interest of the health of your horse we must use the techniques available to us to pinpoint a lameness. https://www.mckeepownall.ca/home daily 1.0 2024-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1649162536415-LB28SUY5OOCKPLUGH5AV/DSCF8806.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1649164010853-G28F6E01X99WXXL7ZHC8/DSCF6775.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1591117275243-QPCMBJ26DNBBWOQ1E40S/IMG_9712.jpg Home - Performance Centre Most equine performance problems are often assumed to be lameness-related. However, there are numerous causes of performance limitations that stem from other parts of the body. McKee-Pownall’s Equine Performance Centre offers a team of veterinarians and bodyworkers who can assess and treat the root cause affecting your horse’s performance. https://www.mckeepownall.ca/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-04-05 https://www.mckeepownall.ca/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2020-06-09 https://www.mckeepownall.ca/prepurchase-exams daily 0.75 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1591112594424-IQE9OXV0FLJ732NYNRE1/IMG_2295.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1591124631692-R0J7AP0OV4FW1VUPJ5YV/20120907-_MWP8465.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1592265694716-BQVI4R9CDR1ERG8IAOIC/IMG_1941.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/5634bda6-9206-4376-8ff4-2ef576f167e3/Melanie+Eye+exam.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/d060d871-4dd5-4527-ad8a-bcb571acab90/Maggie+and+Viv+xray.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/2b3a67fd-6bca-422e-99a4-3f890d8386be/4nbIh0NQ.jpeg Pre-Purchase Exams - Physical exam Every pre-purchase examination begins with a physical exam of the horse. At this stage we assess the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, eyes, teeth, conformation, and palpate the limbs for areas of current and chronic injury. We also obtain a medical and competitive history of the animal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/bb333aed-7094-4d5d-9c34-8d2d52c35e08/DSC_7951.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams - Performance Exam Following the initial examination, we observe the horse on the lunge line on sand footing to assess gait, soundness, and level of fitness. The heart and lungs are listened to again after exercise to check for stress related abnormalities. The horse is then observed on hard footing to reveal lamenesses that are exaggerated by concussion. We can also perform these tests with a rider if requested. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/7f36de28-cc40-4702-902f-dbc60284f404/DSC_0648.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams - Musculoskeletal Exam Flexion tests are performed on the lower limbs. These tests involve bending a specific joint for a set period of time and then immediately trotting the horse off. Arthritic or inflamed joints can be identified this way, as the horse will show stiffness or a slight limp for a few strides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/883d619d-8dcb-48ad-9e5a-20823a14229e/Maggie+ultrasound+%282%29.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams - Under Saddle Exam In addition to the regular "in hand" pre-purchase McKee Pownall offers an under tack option. The under tack pre-purchase option includes all of the standard in hand work, with an add-on of observing the horse under saddle and at all 3 gaits. Some conditions are only observed when the horse has the weight of the rider or with the addition of tack and rider. Other subtle conditions are exacerbated under tight turns, or when in a frame. This is particularly true for neck and back conditions. Any limb in question can be then reassessed and flexed under tack as needed. This adds another layer of information to the pre-purchase exam and gives you more information for your money. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1412ca98-9548-4397-97c4-3317aa49fc36/Maggie+and+Viv+xray.jpg Pre-Purchase Exams - The Report Each pre-purchase exam will be fully documented by the attending veterinarian and a full report will be provided with all of the details and findings.

The equine hoof is comprised of many soft tissue structures that cannot be seen on x-ray, and cannot be penetrated by ultrasound waves. We are now able to identify damage to these tissues, provide an explanation for many frustrating foot lameness cases, and suggest new treatments and shoeing techniques. MRI also allows evaluation of bone injury that is not visible on x-rays, such as fluid build-up and bruising, and early fractures before they become obvious cracks. The MRI system is best used when a lameness can be localized to a specific area, such as a particular foot or fetlock, but shows no abnormalities on digital x-ray or ultrasound. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1594673223041-0EXNJ1GI2E6JXWJX49JG/case+2.jpg Standing MRI - The Benefits of standing MRI High-quality diagnostic images of bone and soft tissue Detection of lesions not visible on x-rays and ultrasound Eliminate the risk of general anesthesia Outpatient procedure, no need for hospitalization Major medical insurance often covers a portion of the cost Accurate diagnosis allows earlier, more effective targeted treatment plans and prognosis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1594673490683-2RG0Y7ETF0YOMP8GXSXL/case+2+i.jpg Standing MRI - Consider MRI in these situations: Lameness localized to the foot or lower limb by nerve blocks X-rays to not show any injuries/lesions Area not accessible with ultrasound Early detection of bone fractures in racehorses Assessing damage after penetrating injuries of the foot After acute onset of lameness during exercise To monitor treatment and healing before returning to work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/261b5ba2-70e2-4893-a4b1-59092bd3fb72/Case+1+1.jpg Standing MRI - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/5aa5d76e-11bb-4215-8a6f-3862ef97bb1c/Case+1+2.jpeg Standing MRI - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/67be9d9a-38f5-47fd-868f-c2f455146dfb/case+2+%281%29.jpeg Standing MRI - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/10437cf4-dfc1-4e0e-965b-d7d00273023a/case+2+%282%29.jpeg Standing MRI - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mckeepownall.ca/digital-radiography daily 0.75 2022-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1595371534998-HXCL28MRQFT56TZQ8PXX/IMG_2415.jpg Digital Radiography Digital Radiography…… https://www.mckeepownall.ca/digital-ultrasonography daily 0.75 2022-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1595372256871-87N4RKJAK511MLTPQQ26/IMG_9787.jpg Digital Ultrasonography Digital Ultrasonography … https://www.mckeepownall.ca/veterinary-spinal-manipulation-therapy daily 0.75 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1644704598886-CRHZZBKMBPWIMQ9R2J79/DSCF5986.jpg Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/25a4e3e9-73ae-4292-a90e-b25087ccd306/Kate+chiro1.jpeg Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy - The Benefits of VSMT The benefits of VSMT are not limited to performances horses. Regular adjustments can dramatically increase mobility, comfort, and quality of life for pleasure horses, geriatrics, and horses recovering from injury or illness. Dr. Markey and Dr. Robinson are all certified VSMT Practitioners.. For initial assessment or acute situations, a series of three treatments spaced 1-3 weeks apart is recommended. For routine health and performance maintenance, most animals do well when checked and adjusted every 4-6 weeks depending on their condition and competition schedule. Ideally they should handwalk or be turned out on the day after their adjustment. https://www.mckeepownall.ca/heroes-for-horses-virtual-award daily 0.75 2020-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1602096319038-X1F3JFEW09WA6VM77K7B/sheri-hooley-WQQoZo5mVgU-unsplash.jpg Heroes For Horses -

With many unknowns and pivots over the past few months restrictions still exist and so we are unable to offer our Third Annual Groom’s Classes in their intended versions. While working through the pandemic, we have appreciated that this year has been one where horses have needed their grooms and caretakers more than ever. Just saying “thank you” won’t do justice to all of the grooms and caretakers who have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our beloved horses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1602695979299-B7D2EZE9EH18C1LYTHSW/image-asset.jpeg Heroes For Horses - Virtual Caregiver Appreciation Award - So We Are Going Virtual With A Twist This year, we would like to recognize the efforts of all of these caregivers in equestrian sports in a virtual format. This unique format will offer us an opportunity to open the event beyond hunter and jumper show grooms, to include the grooms from all equine sports, including dressage, eventing, and racing to name a few. Additionally, we will also recognize the dedication and effort of those equine caretakers who do not attend shows/events but care for these horses at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1601925546893-ZRNVZ7QMXZLU2G98NQB5/Heroes+For+Horses+Final+copy.png Heroes For Horses - Virtual Caregiver Appreciation Award https://www.mckeepownall.ca/equine-body-work daily 0.75 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1591112594424-IQE9OXV0FLJ732NYNRE1/IMG_2295.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1591124631692-R0J7AP0OV4FW1VUPJ5YV/20120907-_MWP8465.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1591203973642-P874JN30ZTOUF4N6SD3K/20121011-_MWP4641.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/854554ff-ccea-4502-868e-23649a51bf1b/DSCF0437.jpeg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/ad18ad3f-ed56-46fa-96b2-51bdac9863d0/DSCF0454.jpeg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/6cc8963c-fc45-4018-a55e-5d31d6ae3a17/DSCF0504.jpeg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/71ab6714-622c-4944-8fbf-2849b6cab145/DSCF0472.jpeg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/154565cc-2542-4ce1-b47d-0c4b1e2712f9/Marnie+laser+%281%29.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/cbd06258-ae39-4288-938a-86ff1be18f79/a6e447c3-9d71-4bf4-9877-9dc70f675edd.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/accd7b69-d47d-465c-bd5b-8fc5759e079a/DSC_0800.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work - Equine Osteopathy Equine osteopathy is a manual therapy that takes a holistic, full-body approach to horse health. It involves examining the musculoskeletal system, craniosacral system, and the visceral system to identify and address underlying imbalances. By assessing these internal systems, osteopathy allows the horse to move more freely, feel more comfortable, and potentially resolve issues that may not be immediately apparent. When is Osteopathy Recommended and for What Horses? The short answer? Always! Osteopathy is recommended for a wide range of horses, particularly those showing signs of discomfort, imbalance, or subtle behavioral changes that may indicate musculoskeletal issues. It’s not just for horses with overt injuries, but also for those that are simply not performing at their best or seem to be "off" in some way. This can include horses that are: displaying sudden behavior changes being difficult under saddle issues with movement stopping at jumps having difficulty switching leads exhibiting a head tilt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1d59904c-7957-4f27-83e2-a5a0472b62ed/DSC_0728.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/0916f5aa-b146-44ef-955d-300734142730/DSC_8309.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1615253068532-SKXKIC8CT9JNQDLEKSJR/DSCF0504.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work - Equine Massage Therapy Equine massage therapy uses a variety of massage techniques and strokes to stimulate blood flow to targeted regions of the body. The increased blood flow brings healthy oxygen and nutrients to nearby tissues while removing harmful lactic acid and waste. Benefits of Equine Massage Therapy Pain relief Improved proprioception Stress relief More efficient movement Improved posture, circulation, hair, coat and muscle tone Increased flexibility and range of motion Immune system support Injury prevention Increased benefits when used in conjunction with chiro and acupuncture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1615253124243-CCOUPMOSPD8N4X9ASTV2/DSCF0446.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work - PEMF – Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy PEMF delivers a gentle non-invasive and therapeutic magnetic pulse to stimulate the cells metabolism, allowing the body to heal itself. Every time a pulse is delivered through the white tubing, damaged cells are pulled to the surface of the skin where they are “exercised” to once more be able to repair and regenerate compromised tissue, accelerate bone and wound healing and increase oxygen absorption in the cells. A practitioner is able to use the tubing all over the horse’s body, any area that in experiencing pain and inflammation will jump under the pulse. Benefits of PEMF Increase in circulation, flexibility, immune response, bone density, range of motion, and neuromuscular response. Decreases pain, stiffness, inflammation, edema, spasms and stress, bruises, contusions and build up of lactic acid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1615253201735-LZKG7P15EQOK4Z51JMYZ/DSCF0487.jpg Equine Osteopathy and Body Work - Equine Physio Taping When applied to the body it mechanically decompresses the skin and underlying tissue This decompression action promotes increased blood and lymph flow, decreases inflammation and relieves pressure. It can provide natural pain relief, stimulating mechanoreceptors and inhibiting nociceptors (pain generators) and stimulates proprioception Benefits of Equine Physio Taping Decreases pain and inflammation, supports joints and soft tissues, increases proprioception and energy flow Decreases muscle spasm, tension and soreness Relaxes muscles.

Worried because they are returning from around the world, or maybe from around the block, and don’t have a place to properly quarantine the horse(s) that are returning.

Although this seems like a cheap way to address your horse's dental maintenance, however, In Ontario, it is illegal to perform dentistry on a horse without veterinary supervision. Certain individuals have been imprisoned for failing to respect this law. Follow this link to for more information on the CVO's postion on Lay Floaters. There are several issues that need to be clarified in this situation. Specifically, lay dentists do not: As well, lay dentists can not: Perform a thorough oral examination Use a speculum to visualize and give access to the rear teeth Use sedation to ease anxiety and smooth the process Give any pain control when it is needed Have specialized training to identify and safely treat dental abnormalities Prescribe drugs to treat oral infections Take x-rays of the jaw when indicated Perform extractions, or if they do, no sedation or nerve blocks are performed beforehand Offer insurance protection: if anything should go wrong, most horse insurance policies will be void because the procedure was not performed by a veterinarian. https://www.mckeepownall.ca/equiconnect-podcast daily 0.75 2025-05-01 https://www.mckeepownall.ca/dr-melissa-mckee daily 0.75 2022-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1625509295442-VHOZ8GQW4JEG84F5AW9M/img_2235.JPG Dr. Melissa McKee - Dr. Melissa McKee - Campbellville Dr. McKee grew up in the local horse industry.

You should find out which days the stallion is collected, how the semen is shipped and time frame for shipping. In addition, for international shipping, you must find out what import regulations exist. This information can be obtained from our vet offices, CFIA office, or online on the CFIA website. Next, your veterinarian needs to perform an initial assessment, including ultrasound examination, and other diagnostics depending on the mare's reproductive history. The initial ultrasound exam can provide information on when the mare is predicted to be in heat, and her potential timing of ovulation. Once the mare is in heat, she needs to be followed closely to predict the time of ovulation. For fresh cooled semen, the semen needs to be inseminated prior to the mare ovulating, and will generally remain viable within the uterus for up to 48 hours. For frozen semen, the mare needs to be inseminated within 4-6 hours of ovulation, and requires much more diligent monitoring of the mare through ultrasound. Ovulation is confirmed after insemination, and the mare is checked 14-16 days after ovulation for pregnancy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1641864880226-OLUQYZLYS3DXY90NLHIK/unsplash-image-bSQ2YL5tytY.jpg Reproduction - Breeding Time line Pre-Breeding Breeding soundness exam, synchronize estrus and monitor uterine structures and conditions Deworm – All stages of encysted small strongyles Vaccinate for Rabies (now or at month 5 of pregnancy) Dental care (now or second trimester) 1st Trimester Monitor progesterone levels in at risk mares Day 0 – Breeding date Day 14-17 – Rectal ultrasound to confirm pregnancy and rule out twins Day 25-29 – Rectal ultrasound to re-confirm viable pregnancy and rule out twins.

Do not rely on a due date! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1641865091633-NQ7TDD7K8XE4QOCTZ2IU/unsplash-image-g9SFh6cJQn4.jpg Reproduction - Stages of Labour Stage One of Labour (30 Minutes to 4 hours) Your mare might begin to act colicky, lie down, sweat, look at her, flank, posture, lift her tail, urinate Uterine contractions are increasing and the foal is rotating position to enter the birth canal During this time you can clean your mare’s perineum and vulva with warm water and wrap the tail The chorioallantoic membrane ruptures (water breaks) and allantoic fluid leaks out Stage Two of Labour (20-30 Minutes) The foal begins to pass into the birth canal and there are intense uterine contractions The mare will often lie on her side or stand up/lie down again You should see a glistening white/grey sac (the amnion) begin to protrude from the vulva, The foal should be delivered with one front foot in front of the other, then the head If this continues for more than 20 minutes without any signs of a foal CALL THE VET Once the foals hips have passed through the pelvis the mare will often rest for 15-20 minutes As long as the amnion has ruptured, the foal is breathing normally and is lying in sternal they can be left undisturbed. The umbilical cord is best left to be ruptured naturally. o NEVER cut the cord – this can lead to bleeding! You can twist the cord, holding the foals umbilicus off and tearing on the mare side of the umbilicus if it appears to be having trouble tearing on its own. Stage Three of Labour (30 min- 3 hours) Expulsion of the placenta and fetal membranes o The placenta can be tied up to itself to keep the mare from stepping on it and prematurely tearing Be sure to KEEP the placenta so your vet can make sure it has all been passed!! The handout below outlines the stages of parturition, common foaling emergencies and can be posted on your mare’s stall for easy reference during the heat of the moment! HANDOUT The Rule of 3 1) The foal should stand within 1 hour 2) The foal should nurse vigorously within 2 hours 3) The mare should pass her placenta within 3 hours If any of these seem delayed call your veterinarian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1641865354144-GA4VKA28BNNBEC0FNQ1L/unsplash-image-FPGuvs1dso0.jpg Reproduction - Post Foaling Exam Veterinary exam within 24 hours of foaling Test for serum IgG concentration within the first 12-18 hours Deworm mare 24-48 hours after foaling Dip umbilical stump – 3-4x daily for 2-3 days Enema Monitor nursing, meconium passage, body condition and conformation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1641865526899-GJ74MUXCK8WDN1M2KM6I/unsplash-image-quzC-uXzf9E.jpg Reproduction - Foal Care First week of life– mange flexural limb deformities, dip umbilicus and monitor temperature and overall health 2-4 weeksinitiate therapy for moderate to severe angular limb deformities (often working with farrier) 6-8 weeksof age: Deworm for roundworms (ascarids) 6-8 weeks later: Deworm again 4-6 months of age: Initiate vaccination series for WNV, EHV-1/4, EWT, Rabies.

Each treatment usually takes about an hour, and may involve electroacupuncture (gentle stimulation with an electrical current), plain needles or aqua-acupuncture (injecting into acupoints). Acupuncture will only be recommended if we feel it is appropriate for the case. https://www.mckeepownall.ca/campbellville-team daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1642467068733-NPCS104VG8JM12S4IZ17/img_2219.JPG Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/27141613-d76c-4ba1-91e1-89dfdf87f5cd/Mike+.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1642467633107-I6ZAVV552APNOJP7N054/img_2186.JPG Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1642467745537-0GS20DHCJILOJDHM6LVP/img_2226.JPG Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1642468298631-XQ024X6MMCBZZRZ5EZX3/_mg_1840.JPG Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1642468416258-TZGR9GPCA9RHHLLM48AQ/img_2159.JPG Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/1660843381435-K598N89A6B66CS11T9NT/DSCF1021.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/70909f6f-3842-4122-828b-895d9f899fe6/Emma+FF.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/95821cef-9451-4b67-ac92-d0693abc46b6/Kaleene+FF.png Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/e2620c42-410b-4680-a796-02c06bbd5da6/DSC_0961.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/affc34e8-4221-483e-a9f1-ee6f8655d0be/RAFA.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/ffea6454-bb97-4aa8-9541-2951f5d382d4/Shannon.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/8244b399-5f2f-4f4d-9b55-4e65b00e637c/Raphael.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/51c7abe4-f66f-4022-82a0-0dc00feb0e0b/Cass+deLeeuw.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/2a55244e-24e7-4087-b795-105ea9675acb/Daniela+Espinosa.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/68a765d2-0960-4de0-8897-6ddb114beb8b/Austeja+-+welcome+post+photo+1.jpg Campbellville Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/51b58d9b-a0ac-4ccf-bc76-7a1f12d5eb02/Daniela+and+Hidalgo.jpeg Campbellville Team https://www.mckeepownall.ca/sport-horse-medicine daily 0.75 2024-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/5efcc0ea-d658-41ab-8c92-7ec97361ef9e/DSCF6780.jpg Sport Horse Medicine - Lameness We offer a comprehensive array of services to diagnose and treat a wide range of lamenesses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/330afee9-e846-4c76-8552-370329890706/DSC_0628.jpg Sport Horse Medicine - Respiratory Conditions Many respiratory conditions will prevent comfortable breathing and oxygen exchange. These include: Infections Mechanical dysfunction Allergies For each of the conditions above, we offer diagnostic and treatment services: Infections We offer a range of vaccinations tailored to your horses's environment and travel schedule to prevent infection. Digital radiographs of the skull can show sinus tumors and infections, as well as tooth root disease. Mechanical Dysfunction Endoscopy of the palate, larynx and trachea can offer insight into problems with function of the throat, inflammation in the airway, and identify the origin of nasal discharges. Allergies Bronchoalveolar lavage (lung wash) enables us to retrieve cells and bacteria from the lungs to identify the cause of allergy and heaves symptoms, and to guide us to the proper treatment. Serum allergy testing is also offered to identify environmental irritants that your horse is sensitive to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed595ccf1277768c3355277/b447c8b8-2fa6-4170-9805-bc6a995c8a3e/DSCF7182.jpg Sport Horse Medicine - Metabolic Conditions While the signs of these conditions are sometimes quite obvious, they are often very subtle and the only evidence of them is reduced performance. Identification of these problems is the first step towards successful management of the athlete.
