E-Vet Clinic - Horse Health Care

Well I made “The Ten Best Blogs in Pet Health” given by Dr. Mannie Alvarez of Fox News.
Heres a link to the story www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,290164,00.html

Being in a list with the likes of the ASPCA and Pet Connection (Universal Press Syndicate) is both an honor and humbling at the same time. I do put a lot of effort into all of my blogs and just recently I made the decision to go back to my roots in veterinary medicine and really start putting out the information on this blog and Healthy As A Dog. Look for more posts and weekly podcasts. Also I will be putting out an ebook about How to Avoid the Horse Chiropractor. A book about five areas you need to concentrate on and learn more about to allow your horse to move better without having to have monthly or more visits from the Horse Chiropractor. Oh and the price your going to love - Free!

Thank you for reading. It is all of you I have to thank for getting me on that list, because it is you the readers I do this for! Thank you! And Dr. Alvarez, thank you for reading and then writing about my blog.

You may have known that “Street Sense” won the Kentucky Derby. You may also know that he placed second in the Preakness and still you may know that he is not racing in the Belmont. But did you know this horse has been treated and fed in a holistic manner?

Carl Nafzger is Street Sense’s trainer and is known to be holistically minded when it comes to feeding his horses. He feeds a mushroom mix to his horses for a more calm and focused horse.

Good for him, at least there is one thing that I can be happy about the racing industry. Some trainers do care a little about their horse’s overall health OR maybe they just want to win …OK there is my cynical side again. I’ll just leave it alone.

Sugar Puff, a Shetland Pony, was put down on May 25th after “complicated health problems” made him collapse.

He was 56 years old owned by Sally Botting of West Sussex, UK. This definitely a testament on how good health care can really extend the life of your horse or in this case a pony.
