Pigeon Fever
Pigeon fever doesn’t occur in pigeons but in horses.
Colic Surgery
In the 70s, horses that required colic surgery did not have a very good prognosis as many new anesthetic and surgical techniques for treating colics were just being developed. Today, the success rate of colic surgery is tremendously better.
Toxic Shrubs Used for Landscaping
As you plant shrubs around your horse barns and fences, it is important to realize some of the commonly used shrubs for landscaping can be toxic to horses and other livestock.
Post-Foaling Complications #2
Mares can also have a severe bleeding episode from the uterus and can die from hemorrhage within hours, or the bleeding can be contained within the uterus. If you have a mare that prolapses, keep the uterus clean and hold it up level until your vet arrives, although be careful manipulating it so you do not make a hole with your fingers.
Equine Influenza Vaccination
Although several vaccines are available to protect horses from influenza, the effectiveness and length of protection provided by these vaccines is questionable.

Be Dog-Safe
Hardly a day goes by when there isn't a news story about a dog attack somewhere. When school starts, children may become especially vulnerable, walking and biking through their neighborhoods to class. And although in most cases the dog involved in a serious attack is the family's own, it's also true that many neighborhoods are not safe for walking or biking because of a dog. These animals are accidents waiting to happen because their owners either don't know or don't care that their dogs are a public menace.
