EquidDoc Veterinary Services

The tricky part after the EquidDoc veterinarians leave is getting the horses to take their medications. There are several ways for it some are adding flavours to the pills and grinding and mixing the pills in their food or dosing Syringe, ie, Powder medications can be combined with a tiny quantity of warm water and drawn up into the dosing syringe. Pill Pockets are another way this is done by carving pockets in the food(ex: carrot, Apples etc) and place the pills inside the pocket. I understand that the process sounds tedious but, EquidDoc will help you with all your questions.  Learn More: https://www.equiddocvet.com/top-five-tips-tricks-oral-medications-for-your-horse/

SAA = Serum amyloid A. It is mostly found in a handful of hours. It is not easily detected unless there is an inflammation. The SAA levels in the blood spring up if the horse is vulnerable to infectious agents rather than allergies or autoimmune inflammatory processes. SAA rises fast after an inflammatory stimulus (within 6-12 hours) and goes down quickly. Since the SAA level will correlate to the resolution of infection, it can be used to determine when to stop antibiotics. We can help you figure this out just in 10 mins.  Learn More: https://www.equiddocvet.com/what-is-saa-and-why-does-it-matter/
