Horse Vet (Veterinarian) House Call – Lot’s Of Answers!
Horse Vet (Veterinarian) House Call – Lot’s Of Answers!
A while back we had the large animal vet (veterinarian) visit our home. They call this a “house call”. He did a general check up on Maggie the horse, which gave us the opportunity to ask lots of questions. This vet was very good and very kind to give us lots of answers. Maggie got her teeth looked at, got some shots and had her feet examined. BTW, does this vet kinda remind you of Sam Elliot?

Awesome Horse:’)
“We all got our piles”. Too funny! What a thorough vet (and interesting!)and your horse is so sweet. Was this before she had the hoof problem?
Maggie is well taken care of. Beautiful horse. Thanks for the video.
For my horses I use home made fly spy although it stinks I goes away after a 1 hour and the flies ding bother them at all
How many hands is she
YAY Maggie! So glad she’s doing well! She’s got a great home! God Bless!
great video
Blake, I use fly predators by Spalding labs and they work great. They send out a pack of them every month and I have noticed over 95 percent reduction in flies.
I love the vet.
You asked for the bill lol!
Very informative video. I wanted to share something with you as well as anyone else who reads this. Earlier this year (2016) we learned of a very rare condition that can happen to any animal that is intelligent. Cats, dogs, some birds, horses, etc. The animal in question never develops the skills to deal with stress and anxiety and ends up self harming.
We, my husband and I, learned of this about 5 days after I had my gallbladder removed. The stress in leading up to the surgery and the day of, me coming home with 5 incisions in me was too much for our cat. We had to rush her to a 24/h animal hospital in our city. She had licked a hole past the skin. That’s as far as I will go into details. It was very bad and took over 3 months to heal.
She is fine 🙂 A overall happy cat and about to be super excited. To help with her anxiety she has her first 7 foot cat tree. We are going to try and assemble it tomorrow. She helps us (helps lower chronic pains levels in me and husband deal with depression), and we help her. As a family should 🙂
Mommas always know all the right questions to ask 🙂 and then some. Lol. “We all got piles. I got ’em everwurr.” 😂
I know I know Maggie is fine, but I was on the edge of my seat with this exam. I’m so glad she’s doing well, and I love and thank your family with my whole heart for caring for her so deeply. (and your other farm critters!!) and your vet kinda can pass for Sam Elliot but for me I saw. . .Anthony Wilford Brimley, credited either as A. Wilford Brimley or
Wilford Brimley, an American actor. He appeared in many notable
films including The China Syndrome, The Thing, The Natural, Cocoon and
The Firm. I loved him in Cocoon, oh well. Again thanks for the share, glad all is well. Be kind, enjoy and love each other!!
Another wonderful video to watch. Your wife did a great job with the questions. Maggie didn’t appreciate those last two shots. Thanks for sharing.
Maggie is so precious! you guys take such good care of her. that’s so nice to see. 😊☺
I don’t understand. If horses have a vaccine for west nile virus why don’t people have one too? (I don’t expect you to have the answer-just asking).
That horse is going to run you some bucks to keep,
Vet bill, shots and food, must be 200 buck for the month.
I hope Maggi become the Star of the show.
so well behaved!
Skin so Soft from Avon keeps flies away….. My horse friends uses them on her horses…
Maggie is in a great home with a wonderful family.
Hello! I would like to ash that I would want to live in such a remote area carbon black adults! But I do not know how much time and money to add to it and should be managed? How is it to live? Thank you in advance for your answer and very good youtuber or!
Just remember , if your going to keep anything healthy on that horse it needs to be her feet. trim every 6 weeks. Not every 8 or 10. The feet are the most important thing.
That was very interesting. We’ve got piles too.
I’d say more Wilfred Brimley.
She is a very pretty horse
Awesome update thank you for sharing have a blessed day
your need a few bat house on your farm
Grate video
I so enjoy these videos with the vet working with Maggie! Thank you, Blake! So glad she’s a happy healthy and gentle pony! (Sorry, we always called our quarter horses “ponies”!)
I liked that vet a lot . I imagine you did.
He’s not Sam Elliot as much as he’s Wilford Brimley!
Hi there! You have a very pretty, lovely horse!
Have you ever considered caring for Maggie with holistic and natural methods?
For example- using essential oils for fly spray, wounds, illness etc. (being sure to dilute first as they are very potent), keeping her barefoot like horses in the wild, utilizing rocks for strengthening her hooves (rocks also allow a horse’s hooves to self trim). Using natural products and methods of care versus traditional medicines and care can greatly improve the quality of Maggie’s life and lengthen it too! 🙂 Since caring for our horses naturally they have never been healthier or happier! You are already giving Maggie a more “wild” lifestyle by giving her free reign of your property. I’m sure she loves that! 🙂 There is lots of info on caring for horses naturally all over the internet. Here are some links we have greatly benefited from:
http://www.essentialanimals.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/EssentialAnimals (excellent info on essential oils),
http://www.landrevillehoofcare.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTdEDAgRME8kI8kLia4geRA (natural hoof trimming), https://www.thehorseshoof.com/oats1.html http://thesoulofahorse.com/blog/no-more-poison-life-without-de-wormers/ http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/defaq.html (natural feeding)
One more thing that I will mention is, keeping free choice hay in front of a horse is very beneficial to their health but also for greatly reducing a horse’s stress. Horses are grazing animals so when they do not have access to grass providing hay is very important in order to keep them at a good weight as well as keep ulcers from arising. There are lots of articles explaining horse ulcers on the web. Also, holistic veterinarians can help a lot as they are into natural care and remedies.
It looks like you all love Maggie very much. Very nice to see! 🙂
she’ll clean a coyotes clock. 😂😂😂 ahahaha
She’s such a good little horse
How do you tell the age of a horse? Oh,and how often does a horse need reshoeing?
What a sweet horse!!! What’s her name? She’s so beautiful!!
Do you take questions? Regarding a pet.
Your vet video was spot on.
Lots of good info about horses, their pests & what to watch out for.
Also good video for new horse owners to watch.
Washington has “piles” stacked to the moon!
