Vesicular stomatitis has been identified in Arizona. The area has been quarantined but this may affect travel with horses over the next few months if the outbreak is not contained.
Vesicular stomatitis is a virus transfered by black flies, sand flies, and biting midges (Culicoides spp.)among horses and livestock. It causes severe mouth ulcers in horses and cattle. Infected animals usually recover without incident. However, in cattle the clinical signs are indistinguishable from Foot and Mouth disease. Therefore, quarantines are taken very seriously to protect the cattle industry.

🚨 **What Happens During a Full Colic Workup?** 🐴
Colic can be scary—but knowing what to expect can make all the difference. If your horse is showing signs of colic, your vet may recommend a **full colic workup** to diagnose the issue and guide treatment. Here's what that typically includes:
🔹 **Physical Exam:** Heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, gut sounds, and hydration status are all assessed to determine severity.
🔹 **Rectal Exam:** A manual exam to feel for gas distension, impactions, or displacements.
🔹 **Nasogastric Tube:** A tube passed through the nose to relieve pressure and check for reflux (fluid in the stomach).
🔹 **Abdominal Ultrasound:** Non-invasive imaging to assess the intestines and other abdominal organs.
🔹 **Abdominocentesis:** A sample of abdominal fluid may be taken to check for infection or inflammation.
🔹 **Bloodwork:** Helps evaluate dehydration, infection, organ function, and overall systemic impact.
Knowing these steps can help you stay calm and informed in an emergency. 💡 If your horse ever colics, don’t wait—**call your vet immediately**.
✅ Prevention is key, but preparation is everything.
