Keeping Drugs Safe
Tuesdays with Tony If you’ve ever visited Springhill Equine, you know I can usually be found in one of two places: the front porch, or the front counter. From this vantage point I watch Joe The Courier, and Tony The UPS Guy drop off packages just about every day. I’m...
The Equine Eye – and it’s Many Problems!
Tuesdays with Tony The Equine Eye – and its Many Problems! Alright humans, today we’re going to talk about horse eye problems. I’m going to use my loudest meow for this one, the same one I use when you are late with my dinner and I’m staaaaarving. Imagine me reading...
Horses will be Horses
Tuesdays with Tony Horses. They sure have had a week of being horses around here. You would think I could say that every week. Luckily, they aren’t all that way. We’ve had two horses decide fences were fun to put their legs through, one who wildly over-estimated his...

Ticks..the creepy crawling kind.
Tuesdays with Tony I don’t know about you all, but for some reason, the bugs this year are driving me absolutely catty. I’ve talked to you about flies ad nauseam, but today we are going to talk about a different little pest that has been popping up all over and...
Eat to beat the heat
Tuesdays with Tony Summer has arrived. It’s been over 90 degrees, humidity has been up there, and it’s threatening to rain every day. As far as this cat is concerned, it’s summer. I spend my summers like I spend all my seasons: going from inside to outside and back...
Foaling
Tuesdays with Tony Everyone loves the pitter patter of little feet. Everyone but me, that is! In case you all missed it, this weekend on Saturday night, we welcomed a new life into the world here at the clinic, and let me tell you, it was a huge inconvenience to me....
