  • Love the show, audio could be better

    I am a hands-on horse owner and I love this podcast because it is easy for me as a layperson to follow along and absorb the wealth of information. If I could offer a suggestion for improvement, it could be to improve the quality of the audio in general.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 190: Equine Melanoma and H-FIRE with Dr. Elsa Ludwig
Q: To get us started, can you just give us a reminder about how prevalent melanoma is in gray horses?
Melanomas are a common skin tumor in horses and are especially prevalent in gray horses, with significant representation among older gray horses, but early detection and thorough examination can help differentiate melanoma from other tumors and guide appropriate management.
Ep. 189: Potomac Horse Fever with Dr. Jurica Tršan
Q: What precautions should be taken on a farm after a PHF case is confirmed?
Isolate horses with fever and diarrhea before confirmation, then continue surveillance of all exposed horses for a few weeks, use temperature monitoring, and manage biosecurity as you would for any infectious disease until PHF is confirmed and the environment is assessed for exposure sources.
Ep. 189: Potomac Horse Fever with Dr. Jurica Tršan
Q: How is a horse provisionally diagnosed and then definitively confirmed for PHF?
Provisional diagnosis relies on epidemiology and clinical signs (season, exposure to freshwater or irrigated pastures, colitis, fever, laminitis risk). Definitive diagnosis is via PCR testing on EDTA blood and fresh feces, complemented by duplex real-time PCR targeting multiple genes; serology is less reliable and vaccination may confound results.
Ep. 189: Potomac Horse Fever with Dr. Jurica Tršan
Q: Can you get us started by just reviewing the etiology and pathogenesis of Potomac horse fever for us?
PHF is caused by two obligate intracellular gram-negative bacteria, Neuroketsia restici and Neuroketsia fideliasis, transmitted via an aquatic insect–vector cycle that involves snails, aquatic insects like catus flies and mayflies, and ultimately an accidental dead-end host in horses.
Ep. 187: Diagnosing and Managing Gastric Ulcers with Dr. Chelsea Luedke
Q: How do you differentiate and treat squamous versus glandular ulcers, and what about those horses with both?
Squamous ulcers are treated with proton pump inhibitors like GastroGuard for 28 days or longer depending on depth and healing, while glandular disease may require prostaglandin analogs and sometimes sucralfate; in horses with both, you address both mucosal areas and re-scope to monitor healing, recognizing the need to consider systemic factors.
