Okay, okay... I know it's been a little quiet around here lately 😅

Between appointments, herd work, road trips, weddings, horse moving, paperwork, billing, medication orders, and the occasional attempt at having a personal life, my social media game may have taken a brief vacation of its own. 🙈

But don't worry — I'm still here, still working, and ready to get back at it!

📚 More educational posts
🐄 More farm calls
🐴 More horse content
🧬 More repro updates
🤣 And probably a few stories about the weird and wonderful things I find in veterinary medicine

Thank you to everyone who has continued to follow along despite my accidental social media hiatus. Your support means the world to me 💛

Here's to a fresh start, more consistent posting, and getting back into the swing of things!

Now... who's ready for some vet content? 👀🐾

🚗🐾 Dixonville Area Next Week! 🐾🚗

I’ll be heading out to the Dixonville area next week to see a client and would love to add a few more appointments to the schedule!

At the moment, I only have one stop planned, so I’m hoping to fill the day and help cut down on mileage costs for everyone by grouping appointments together 🙌

If you’re in the area and have been putting off:
🐄 Herd work
🐴 Equine appointments
🐑 Small ruminant care
🩺 Wellness exams
💉 Reproductive work
📋 General consultations

👉 Send me a message and let’s get you on the schedule!

As always, grouping appointments helps make these rural routes more efficient and affordable for clients 💛

💛✈️ Thank You! ✈️💛

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their patience while I was away for a few days!

I had the opportunity to attend my cousin's wedding, and it was absolutely beautiful. It was wonderful to spend time with family, celebrate a special occasion, and recharge the batteries a little bit. 💍🌞

I also want to apologize if my time away caused any inconvenience. Being away for 5 days means a few things inevitably piled up when I got back 😅

📱 A slight delay in answering text messages
🧾 A backlog of billing to catch up on
📣 A noticeable silence on the social media front
📅 And a little extra juggling once I returned home

Thank you all for your understanding, patience, and support. Running a mobile veterinary practice is incredibly rewarding, and having such understanding clients makes it so much easier when life events and family commitments come up.

I'm back, catching up, and getting back into the swing of things! If you're waiting on a bill, a reply, or have been wondering if I fell off the face of the earth—don't worry, I'm working my way through everything. 😉

Thank you again for allowing me the time away. It was very much appreciated, and my cousin had a truly lovely wedding. 💛

🐴🩺 Early Mare Pregnancy Checks Matter! 🩺🐴

Just a friendly reminder for my breeding mare clients — timing those early ultrasounds is incredibly important! 🙌

📅 14–17 Days Post Ovulation/Breeding:
This is the ideal window to ultrasound mares to:
• Confirm pregnancy
• Identify twins early 👀
• Personally found this out the hard way this year

💡 Why is twin detection important?
Unlike some species, mares are GENERALLY not designed to safely carry twins to term, and twin pregnancies can lead to:
⚠️ Pregnancy loss
⚠️ Abortion
⚠️ Weak foals or complications for the mare (personally had this experience this year)

Catching twins early gives us the best chance to safely manage the pregnancy.

❤️ 21 Day Recheck:
Around day 21, I strongly recommend a follow-up ultrasound to:
• Confirm the pregnancy is still progressing normally
• Check for a heartbeat ❤️

These early checks are a key part of setting mares up for a healthy pregnancy and successful foaling season!

📞 If you have mares bred or coming due for checks, feel free to reach out to get on the schedule.

💊📦 Medication Order Update 📦💊

Just a quick heads up for everyone — there will be no medication orders placed today as I’ll be away in the Manning & High Level areas for the next 2 days and won’t be able to properly arrange pickups/drop-offs while on the road 🚗🐄

📅 The last medication order date before I head away will be June 2nd.

If you’re needing:
• Medications
• Supplies
• Products

👉 Please make sure to get your requests in before then so we can get everything organized ahead of time!

Thank you all for your understanding and patience while I’m bouncing around the Peace Region 💛
