🗓️ Northwest Georgia: Boy, do we have a save-the-date for you!

Dr. Josey is teaming up with Murray County UGA Extension for Murray County Bull BSE Day on Saturday, Dec. 13! Appointments begin at 9 a.m. and conclude by 5 p.m. ☎️ Call Brenda at the Extension office to reserve your slots: 706 695 3031.

“A bull’s ability to breed is one of the most critical factors in producing the annual calf crop,” Dr. Josey says. “Especially with cattle prices being high, evaluating breeding soundness is a no-brainer return on investment for your operation’s profitability.”

BSEs are $60 per herd bull and include a physical, scrotal circumference measurement, semen testing, and a brief consult with Dr. Josey regarding any concerns you may have about your bulls. In addition, the first 40 bulls registered will receive a complimentary dose of CattleMaster vaccine and Dectomax dewormer.

Thank you to our friends at Pleasant Valley Farm for hosting this event, and to Zoetis for donating vaccines and dewormer for the first 40 bulls registered!

‼️ Please note, this BSE day is for herd bulls only, not sale bulls! Sale bull BSEs can be scheduled separately with Dr. Josey.

Dr. Chamlee snapped this photo of our current extern, Haley, working last week! Haley is a fourth-year vet student at University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, and received her undergraduate degree from Clemson University. She’s riding with the CLS vets through Dec. 3, so we hope many of y’all get to meet her!

Some quick facts about her:
• She’s interested in equine dentistry and lameness, as well as learning the ins and outs of running a mobile practice.
• Last year, she attended American Association of Equine Practitioners’ Day at the Races and got to go behind the scenes at Churchill Downs!
• Her after-work time is spent crocheting or enjoying time with her husband and friends.
• Haley went into vet med because she loves serving her community through medicine, but didn’t love the idea of working on people!

Happy Antibiotics Awareness Week to all who celebrate — which means the CLS team!

The word “antibiotics” can make consumers a little cringey when it’s associated with animals raised for meat or other edible products. Food labels aren’t wrong when they claim a steak is antibiotic-free, but it’s important to remember that ALL steaks (and beef, pork, chicken, lamb, goat, etc. meat and products) are antibiotic-free! Those brands simply chose to highlight the lack of antibiotics in their marketing, but that doesn’t mean other brands don’t have the same ability to do so if their advertising team wanted to.

Swipe through to read some common myths that we run into from both farmers and consumers when it comes to this topic. If you ever have any questions about why your vet might (or might not) prescribe an antibiotic to your animals, please don’t hesitate to ask during your appointment. We know there are misconceptions out there, and we’re more than happy to talk you through your concerns and provide resources to help you learn more.

‼️ Custom Livestock Solutions has become aware of a recent Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) outbreak, and we know our Georgia horse owners have some questions! Dr. Quinn took several calls about the outbreak already, and is here to provide some clarity.

Per the Georgia Department of Agriculture, as of this post, there have been no reports of EHV-1 in the state. That being said, EHV is a communicable virus spread from horse to horse, which puts show and performance equines at higher risk of contracting it, as they’re more likely to come into contact with infected horses during travel and competitions.

Just like some human respiratory viruses, infected horses may not show symptoms themselves, but they’re still capable of spreading the disease-causing microbe!

There are two common clinical presentations caused by EHV-1:
🫁 The respiratory disease, Rhinopneumonitis, causes mild fever, coughing, and nasal discharge that can range from clear to thick and yellow.
🧠 The neurologic disease, Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy, may not show any respiratory symptoms at all aside from fever. Symptoms include incoordination, hind-end weakness or dog-sitting, toe dragging, and incontinence.

EHV-1 can also cause fetal loss in pregnant mares. It can take as little as 24 hours or as long as 10 days for symptoms to appear after a horse is exposed to the virus. In addition, the virus can go dormant for years in asymptomatic equine, and may re-emerge during times of stress.

💉 There IS a vaccine for EHV4/1! The CLS vets recommend any traveling adult horses receive this vaccination every six months after their initial foal vaccine series. Pregnant mares, especially those on farms with traveling horses, should be given EHV-1 (Pneumabort-K + 1b) vaccines at five, seven, and nine months of pregnancy. The vaccines have been shown to reduce nasal shed of the virus and reduce the virus’ ability to enter the bloodstream, though at this time there is no licensed EHV-1 vaccine with a label claim for prevention or control of the neurologic disease EHM.

“Any horses with high-risk travel in the coming weeks should consult with their veterinarian to receive appropriate vaccine boosters, which may include additional vaccines past normal recommended vaccinations,” Dr. Quinn says. “Any owners with horses potentially exposed should contact their veterinarian to establish appropriate quarantine and monitoring protocol.”

She says these can potentially include nasal swab lab testing and surveillance, Serum Amyloid A monitoring, twice-daily temperature monitoring, a minimum 21-day quarantine, and adequate biosecurity procedures tailored to your farm.

Several of our vets are mixed practice, so though they spend the bulk of their time on farm calls, once a week or so they’re at our sister clinic, Comer Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Chamlee and vet assistant Lexi teamed up to represent both on Friday for a career day event!

Some cattle breeds have polled (no horn) genetics, and others do not, which means dehorning procedures can be an option. Horns can be removed for aesthetic purposes, but they can also be taken out due to being a safety concern — those things are sharp and strong, and not fun to get poked with! Though there are several methods for removing horns in older calves and cattle, and disbudding unattached horns in young calves, when it comes to the show ring, the preference leans toward a cosmetic surgical approach.

Dr. Josey performed a dehorn surgery on this little lady earlier in the fall. After a few days of healing and having her stitches taken out, she was able to walk into the ring and make her mark!

Vet assistant Lexi took advantage of a few minutes when this equine patient was coming out of post-dental float sedation to clean his sheath in the stall. 🐴 Sheath cleaning is a process where uncomfortable buildup is removed from a male equid’s pe**le sheath, which helps prevent irritation and avoid urinary blockages. It can also help vets detect and treat infections. The buildup is a combination of skin oils, sweat, dead skin cells, and dirt or other organic debris.

“Over time, the accumulation of sm**ma and other debris can obstruct the urethra and trap bacteria, which can lead to infections, predispose to certain types of cancers, and cause pain and urinary discomfort,” Lexi says. “Sheath cleaning can help alleviate all of this.”

External buildup is easily removed by hand, and the palpation that takes place during sheath cleaning allows vets and vet assistants to notice if there is a mass or swelling either adhered to or underneath the skin. Such abnormalities can be further investigated!

The CLS vets commonly recommend sheath cleaning any time a male equine is sedated, which — depending on the patient! — can be from one to four times a year. Over-cleaning can have the opposite effect, disrupting the natural environment of that area and causing more harm than good.

🤔 If you have questions about when your horses, donkeys, or mules should have their sheath cleaned, please don’t hesitate to ask! Please note, new patients will need to be seen by a CLS vet before this information can be provided, so we have an accurate idea of your animals’ health needs, its environment, and your farm goals.

Today’s post is coming at y’all in first-person, because hi, hello, it’s the human behind CLS’ social media accounts! 😅

My name is Dallas Duncan, and I’m the marketing director for both Custom Livestock Solutions and our sister clinic, Comer Veterinary Hospital, a position I’ve held for just more than a year. I’m usually behind the scenes at appointments, aka behind a camera lens, but I will put my animal science degree to use and hop in as extra hands if needed!

Working for the clinics brought me full circle. When I was 10, I lost my Boston terrier, Nicky. I swore one day I’d be a vet so no other little girl would go through that sadness if I could help it! Organic chemistry squashed my long-held vet school dream, but as a chronic overachiever, I was already double majoring in college. I decided if I couldn’t be a vet, I could at least write about them! In 2011, I graduated from UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences with dual Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degrees in animal science (meat science emphasis) and agricultural communication (journalism emphasis). Since then, with a couple stints in butchery between them, I’ve held a number of positions related to journalism, marketing, branding, creative communications … but above all, storytelling.

Even when I’m not at work I’m probably working on a story. 📚 Outside of my job, I’m an indie-published fantasy author — like, Elves and Fairies kind of fantasy, not the Fabio-on-the-front-cover sort — and I write a twice-monthly Substack that has short stories, essays, and publishing behind-the-scenes. I edit books for indie authors and still do some freelance marketing and photography for small businesses. Knitting is my artistic outlet, and in what I’m sure is a shocking admission for a nerd, I read a lot, too. 😜

It’s been an absolute blast being part of the CLS team so far. Thank you to everyone who’s let me take photos and video footage on your farm and of your animals this past year, and the biggest thank-you of all to our vet team, both doctors and assistants. I continue to be honored that y’all trust me to tell your stories. Look for more exciting tales on the horizon as the CLS blog + hopefully YouTube channel launch within the next calendar year!

P.S. Thanks Dr. Anders for taking my headshot!
