here are several possibilities for these symptoms that may be more than just irritation from flies. Physical injury is often the first concern.

A Veterinarian will examine your horse’s eye for a possible in-jury due to a corneal scratch, a for-eign object, disease, blunt trauma or bite from insect or snake. They can sedate your horse for a thor-ough examination to isolate and identify the problem.

Blocked tear ducts are fairly common in the warmer weather. A

horse with a blocked tear duct will often have dried layers of crusty discharge from the eye. The Vet will be able to flush your horse’s tear duct and remove the obstruc-tion. Chronic tearing and squint-ing (photosensitivity) may indicate a more serious condition called Equine recurrent uveitis or moon blindness.

Summertime allergies will sometimes cause for swollen, red eyes in horses. Fly masks with a sheer cover to filter out fine partic-ulate matter can help. Your horse’s

Vet may also prescribe anti-histamines to help with the symptoms.

Face flies are very difficult to control and can be a real prob-lem if horses are pastured near cattle. These flies use an abra-sive sponging mouthpart to stimu-late tear flow. They ingest the pro-tein rich secretions from the eye as well as nasal discharges, saliva, or blood oozing from wounds. Flies bring dirt and manure to the eye can cause serious infection (conjuncti-vitis) that will need treatment with antibiotics. Avoid treating these

types of infections without consulting with your Veteri-narian first.

As always, pre-vention is the best medicine. Use fly masks when your horse is outside. Consider night time turnout dur-ing bug season. Drag pastures and

spread manure to reduce fly breed-ing sites.

--Lynne B.

Is anyone else having issues with ‘goopy eyes?’ about half of my herd has them. One mare’s eye was swollen from it. She’s better now. I put fly masks on them to prevent flies from spreading it. Is it because of the dusty pastures...? What do you do for it?”

“I am so amazed with what Dr. Savko has done for my horse Dottie!Dottie is an 18 year old Quarter horse mare and for about 2 years now I have been having issues with her kicking out and throwing little bucks and not wanting to walk. When she did walk she always seemed to be stiff in her front legs, so I called the vet to come do a lamness test and they found she had severe arthritis in her left hock, I really wanted Dottie to get better so with the vets advice we gave her hock injections and shoed her on all 4 feet. For awhile she seemed to get better but winter

came and it all started over again. Thinking it was her arthritis I just put it off and thought what she was doing was not too bad. Then fall came and she was still doing the bucking and walking like she was stiff in all 4 legs. Now at this point I had put so much money into her, I was frustrated, ready to give up, but a friend called Dr. Savko, so I too decided to have Dr. Savko look at Dottie - what was I to lose? Dottie had her first treatment with Dr. Savko and flipped out because she was in so much pain. But with the 3rd treatment I could see improvement in her walking. So I took Dottie on a short ride and I was amazed at how well she did no bucking, no kicking out - she was back to the way she was when I first bought her. Dottie has now had a few treatments and she went from rearing on the first treatment to standing totally still for her 4th treatment. I am so amazed with what Dr. Savko has done and now thanks to him I can keep my horse that I love so much and enjoy riding her again, in the autumn I may even do some more horse shows with her.

I would highly recommend Dr. Savko before you decide to give up on your animals. His treatment really works! Dottie is proof of that. So from now on I will call Dr. Savko first. A big THANK YOU for giving me back my horse. You were my last hope to help Dottie and I

got my miracle. Thank you for being so patient when Dottie was flipping out and Thank you for making her feel 100% better. Appreciate everything you have done. :)”

Events for August 2012

A Strange PhenomenonHorses seldom burp!A real rogue, who has no social

conscience and most likely has been gulping air along with his food, will, on occasion, burp.

But for the most part, horses don’t. It’s not that they are so polite. It’s that their digestive system is geared for one-way traffic only, and burp-ing is therefore against their nature.

The equine digestive system plays a major role in the horse-mankind relationship. It was the horse’s di-gestive system which helped the horse become a working partner rather than dinner.

Cattle were the first work animals, and horses supplied man’s meat and milk. But the digestive system of cows made it necessary for them to lie down and ruminate (chew their cud) during work hours. All these short breaks slowed progress, so man switched his attention to horses which don’t need “digestive time off.”

The horse’s digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal…a muscular tube extending from the mouth to the anus—and the accesso-ry organs, which are teeth, salivary glands, liver and pancreas.

The horse is a polite, slow eater, and will spend time chewing his food. During the chewing the food absorbs saliva which aids in swal-lowing and triggers a chemical re-action that starts the digestion of starches and sugars.

Food passed from the mouth the pharynx is trapped. The food can-not return because at the rear of the mouth is the soft palate, a kind of curtain separating the mouth from the pharynx. The soft palate opens only on swallowing, and, in effect, provides a one-way flow of food.

(This is also the reason horse’s don’t breathe through the mouth as so many other animals do.)

From the pharynx the food goes to the esophagus, a 50 to 60 inch long tube which runs down the left side of the horse’s neck to the stomach.

The muscles of the esopha-gus work in successive con-striction waves in only one di-rection, making it nearly impos-sible for the horse to vomit. Any-thing which gets into the esophagus is going to the stomach.

The stomach is a small muscular sac located in the abdominal cavity. The stomach is small (about the size of a football) because the horse is a constant eater with no need for large capacity. The stomach works in a compressive manner and provides some digestive enzymes, but food begins to pass out of the stomach as soon as it is about two-thirds full.

The small intestine is next….about 70 feet long. The digestive process continues here where en-zymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver are added.

The large intestine is last. It is

divided into four parts: the caecum, large colon, small colon and rectum. The greater size of the large intestine allows the food to move along more

slowly while final digestion takes place. A system of veins along the large intestine chan-nels the greater portion of the food-enriched blood to the liv-er, which is the major chemi-cal conversion plant. The liv-er regulates the

distribution of nourishment.While not too complicated, the

digestive system of the horse does require some special care. That

care is primarily seen in the horse owner’s feeding program.

The time of feeding, quality of roughage, correct amount of food for the size of the horse, provision of adequate water and manner of feeding are vitally important to the good health of the horse and normal functioning of digestion.

Remember the horse is a constant eater, so he can’t stand big gaps of time without food…and his small stomach isn’t geared for “loading up, and then having nothing”.

If the feeding program is bad, it’s mighty tough on the horse.

There’s no “plop, plop, fizz, fizz” for the horse’s upset digestive sys-tem. And he seldom gets the relief of a good burp!
