Because it’s been a while since our last Ask the Vet video, we wanted to make it up to you by doing a bonus episode! SmartPaker Sarah and Dr. Lydia Gray (as well as Nels behind the camera) chose their favorite question from all those asked in the past year that didn’t get answered in one of our videos. Watch to hear why they chose the question they did (it’ll be worth it to watch Lydia’s question!), and of course, get the answer!

If your question was answered in this video, you’ve won a SmartPak gift card! Reach out to us at CustomerCare@SmartPak.com and let us know so that we can get your gift card out to you as soon as we can!

Have some of your own questions? Ask away! If your question gets selected to be in one of our Ask the Vet videos, you win a SmartPak gift card. All you have to do is submit your question below on this page before February 8, 2018, using #AsktheVetVideo.

You can also ask your questions on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or here on our blog where you can read all of Dr. Lydia Gray’s Ask the Vet articles.

Questions answered in this BONUS episode:
1. I’ve watched all 91 of the videos on your individual question playlist (yes you should be impressed), and I’m wanting to adopt an OTTB and help him/her through the last stages of rehabilitation from minor racing injuries. What are the best questions to ask the vet that has already worked with the horse in order to establish a good understanding of the current condition, as well as steps moving forward?
2. I just got my horses’ fecal test results back. Both of my horses came back “negative.” Does this mean that I don’t need to deworm them?
3. What are the pros/cons of doing equine yoga (either mounted or unmounted) for the horse and/or rider?
