Campbellville Equine Services
35 Crawford Cres. Unit #1 P.O.Box 67 L0P 1B0 Campbellville, ON, Canada

We are very pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Jasmine Morrell-Bellai to our team! She has recently returned from a valuable internship at a large equine practice in Wisconsin. She has special interests in dentistry and preventative healthcare. We will be accepting new patients at this time for her. Very excited to have her join us!

It's August, it is often a busy month for eye injuries. Flies, thinning pastures and the temptation to stick heads through fences all add to the things that happen in the hot summer heat. https://thehorse.com/16842/5-common-equine-eye-injuries/

Stay cool everyone.... https://thehorse.com/120128/help-your-horse-beat-the-heat/

An interesting perspective.

We are fielding questions about EPM periodically. Don't encourage these to be your neighbor, in the cold. Unfortunately they are ill equipped for our climate (not native to Ontario- http://www.discover-southern-ontario.com/possum.html ) They look for a warm place, like barns..and hay to sleep on and spilled grain to eat.... . https://thehorse.com//opossums-the-scourge-of-a-horse-own/ See more

Foot bruises.... if you have not had one in your horse yet, you may at least one in your lifetime with horses. https://thehorse.com/150651/horse-foot-bruises/

Merry Christmas to all our friends and clients. We hope that you are having a wonderful day with family and friends. We are grateful for so much in life including your support. Best wishes Merry Christmas! Chris and Tina

makes me smile........

The Ontario Animal Health Network often has useful information on disease prevalence in Ontario. They track a number of existing diseases and keep an eye on emerging ones . PHF or Potomac Horse fever has been suspected in some late summer illnesses and confirmed in some others. Ask your veterinarian whether your area has potential risks. There is available vaccine but your vet will be able to advise you if it is a concern in your area and whether you need to include it in future vaccination protocols.

Sorry office is closed early today at 2. Should you need a med refill for pickup, please leave us a message

A reminder........

We do stock a number of equine supplements. Equithrive, Comfort Gut and Platinum Performance among them.

If you are concerned about ticks that you may find on your horse, we have posted above an identification chart. If you wish further id, you can bring to the office the tick, whole preferably in a ziplock bag. Yes ticks are out in force but not all ticks carry lyme disease. If you have questions please drop us a email with good clear pictures if possible of drop off a specimen. For more information on ticks in Ontario www.wormsandgermsblog.com
