Fair Week is almost here!

As everyone gets ready for the Fulton County Fair, we want to wish all of our exhibitors, families, and animals a safe and successful week.

For our horse owners, the heat and long days at the fair can be tough on horses. A few simple things can help keep them comfortable:

• Bring plenty of fresh water
• Pack electrolytes and use them as directed
• Bring a fan if possible to improve airflow in the barn
• Keep an eye out for excessive sweating, weakness, reduced drinking, or other signs that your horse may be struggling with the heat
• Give your horse plenty of opportunities to rest

Dr. Oliver will be in and out throughout Fair Week, so please plan ahead when possible.

And we have to include a little proud mom moment. Dr. Oliver’s daughter, Avery, is featured on the cover of this year’s 169th Annual Fulton County Fair Premium Book!

Good luck to all of this year’s exhibitors. Have a great Fair Week!

Cooler weather may still feel far away, but August is a good time to make sure your senior pet is ready for fall and winter.

Older pets may experience arthritis, reduced mobility, chronic health conditions, or difficulty maintaining a comfortable body temperature. Small changes can be easy to overlook because pets often adjust their behavior instead of clearly showing pain.

Pay attention to:
• Difficulty standing or using stairs
• Reluctance to jump
• Slower walks
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Increased sleeping or hiding
• Irritability when touched
• Changes in grooming or bathroom habits

A senior wellness examination provides an opportunity to discuss mobility, pain management, medications, nutrition, preventive care, and recommended laboratory testing.

For pets with limited mobility or anxiety during travel, an examination at home can make veterinary care much easier. ❤

Late summer can be uncomfortable for pets with environmental allergies.

Grasses, weeds, pollen, mold, fleas, and other seasonal triggers may cause more than an occasional itch. Common signs include:

• Frequent scratching
• Paw licking or chewing
• Red or irritated skin
• Recurring ear irritation
• Hair loss
• Excessive grooming
• Skin odor or sores

Allergies are not the only possible cause of itching. Fleas, mites, skin infections, and other medical conditions can cause similar symptoms, making a veterinary examination important.

Please do not give your pet human allergy medication unless your veterinarian has provided specific instructions. The appropriate medication and dosage depend on your pet’s health, weight, symptoms, and other medications.

If your pet is uncomfortable, Oliver Mobile Veterinary Service can help determine the cause and discuss an appropriate treatment plan!

Back to school time brings major routine changes for the entire family, including your pets.

After a summer filled with fun and extra time together, some pets may struggle when children return to school and the house suddenly becomes quieter.

Watch for changes such as:
• Excessive barking or whining
• Destructive behavior
• Pacing or restlessness
• Accidents in the house
• Changes in eating or sleeping habits
• Following family members more closely than usual

You can help make the transition easier by gradually adjusting feeding, walking, and play schedules before school begins. Puzzle toys, safe chews, window perches, and short periods of independent time may also help your pet adjust.

Sudden or significant behavioral changes can sometimes indicate anxiety, pain, or another health concern. Contact Oliver Mobile Veterinary Service if you are concerned about changes in your pet’s behavior.

I am a little late sharing these, but I had such a great time at the Ohio State Fair!

It was wonderful getting to watch so many of my clients’ kids show their horses. Seeing their hard work and love for their animals was such a highlight. We enjoyed grabbing some photos in front of all the equipment by the horse barns. There was so much construction this year!

Feel free to add your own State Fair pictures in the comments. I would love to see more photos of everyone’s horses, exhibitors, and favorite fair memories.

Is your horse trailer ready for show season? Before your next fair, show, or trail ride, take a few minutes to inspect your trailer.

A few things to check:
• Tires, including the spare
• Brakes and lights
• Hitch and safety chains
• Trailer floor and mats
• Ramps and latches
• Ventilation

Smooth driving and regular maintenance help keep your horse comfortable and safe throughout the trip.

We've shared a complete trailer safety checklist on our website, along with helpful resources from Rutgers Cooperative Extension and Interstate Livestock Equipment.

County fair season is almost here, and it is one of our favorite times of year.

Our family is proud to participate in the Fulton County Fair, so we know firsthand how much time, care, and preparation goes into getting animals ready for fair week.

As you start packing, planning, and preparing, it is also a good time to make sure your horse is ready too.

A few things to check before heading to the fairgrounds:
• Current vaccinations
• Coggins paperwork
• Equine first aid kit
• Plenty of water
• Loading practice before fair day
• Tack and equipment

A little preparation now can help make fair week smoother and less stressful for both you and your horse. If your horse needs a wellness exam or health paperwork before fair season, Oliver Mobile Veterinary Service is here to help.

Free Horse Owner Education Webinar: The Equine Topical Ointment Guide

Horse owners, this is a great opportunity to learn more about equine wound care and first aid from leading veterinary experts.

The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) is hosting a free webinar on Wednesday, July 15, from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. EDT covering topics every horse owner should know, including:

• What belongs in your equine first aid kit (and what should be thrown away)
• When to use sprays, powders, creams, and ointments
• Common wound care mistakes that can actually slow healing
• How to recognize when a wound needs veterinary attention versus when it can be managed at home

The webinar will be presented by Dr. Carrie Hammer of North Dakota State University and Dr. Nikki Scherrer, Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center.
