Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and happy and safe holidays!!

WHERE’S WALDO(Dr. Marcella)???

Ever wonder what Dr. Marcella actually does when he is out of town working an FEI event? Check out the most recent blog post on https://klmspeaks.com/
Learn a little about the cool town where this image is taken from. The horse show that is held there and the responsibilities and duties of an FEI veterinarian.

Please check all prescriptions you may need with the Fourth of July holiday quickly approaching. Our office will be closed the 3rd and 4th as the holiday falls on a Tuesday this year. We will have emergency coverage as normal.

We hope everyone has a relaxing safe holiday!

KLMSpeaks is up! Look for articles this weekend addressing the skin bumps, hives and allergy problems that have popped up these last few weeks and a discussion of Colitis (G.I. problems of the large colon including the effects of Potomac Horse Fever) that is also more prominent recently.

After spending the last few months being on call with our new format-being on call fewer weekends but, when on, covering a larger area for more practices so that all the vets involved can have a better "work-life balance" and hopefully remain in equine practice - as this has been given as the biggest reason vets are not entering equine practice or for leaving after just a few years, I am even more convinced that the new norm is for horse owners to become as knowledgeable about horse care as possible. Being two hours away from a horse with an eye injury or a colic or having 3+ emergencies all at the same time further pointed out to me the need for owners to be able to intelligently and confidently help their horses until help arrives-or to keep problems from happening in the first place which puts a value on improved equine management.
KlMSpeaks will hopefully help teach horse owners what they need to know. We plan to continue to add new material, to expand to videos in a "horse owner's essentials" section that will show you how to correctly wrap a foot or a leg, how to examine and stain an eye, how to do a good physical exam, how to give an intramuscular injection and lots more. We will continue to post interesting cases in a question/answer format, and there are plans for a "office hours" section that will be a weekly answer to one of your submitted questions.
I welcome your input and comments as this idea continues to evolve.
