Thanks for everyone asking, we are not in the fire zone fortunately. The road past our driveway is closed (lots of our weekend outing folks are waiting to get back in) for the time being, however.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR HORSE'S WEST NILE VIRUS VACCINATIONS UP TO DATE

From "The Horse", August 28, 2019 -

The California Department of Food and Agriculture confirmed Aug. 23 that four California horses have been diagnosed with West Nile virus (WNV): two in Sacramento County and one each in Kern and Placer counties. Two of the horses were euthanized due to the severity of their neurologic signs, and two are receiving supportive care.

WNV transmission occurs when infected mosquitoes feed on animals, as well as humans, after having fed on infected birds.

Clinical signs of WNV in horses include:

Mild anorexia and depression;
Fine and coarse muscle and skin fasciculation (twitching);
Hyperesthesia (hypersensitivity to touch and sound);
Changes in mentation (mentality), when horses look like they’re daydreaming or “just not with it”;
Occasional drowsiness;
Propulsive walking (driving or pushing forward, often without control); and
Spinal signs, including asymmetrical weakness; and
Asymmetrical or symmetrical ataxia (incoordination).

West Nile virus has no cure; however, some horses can recover with supportive care. Equine mortality rates can reach 30-40%. The American Association of Equine Practitioners includes WNV as one of the core diseases all horses should be vaccinated against at least annually.

I am way behind on CONGRATULATIONS posts for many triumphs, including Secret achieving the AHA Legion of Honor and multiple horses here bringing home ribbons in Western dressage, ranch horse, obstacles, hunters and more achievements.

Also, we have fresh sand in the round pen and are making progress on a roofed lunging arena for the fall. As of yesterday we are researching fans and vents too.
