Wellness care - "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" That saying holds true for horses also. As part of our routine care we provide vaccinations, deworming, Coggins testing, and dental care. At the time of service we can discuss any issues you may have with your horse including nutritional needs, training programs, geriatric care, etc..

 

Time of need care - We offer care for your horse in case of medical colic, sickness, lameness, injury, metabolic problems, or chronic illness. We are equipped to provide intravenous fluids and most laboratory results are obtained within 24 hours. Emergency care is provided 24/7.

 

Geriatric care - Aged horses can have sub-clinical health care issues that can be identified and treated before they become a problem. If your horse is over 15 years of age we recommend a complete physical examination and blood testing to establish baseline values.

 

Lameness examination - Evaluate the locomotion of your horse. We use a variety of techniques to identify the source(s) of lameness including physical examination and palpation, flexion tests, and joint and nerve blocks. Digital radiography and laboratory tests help us to further evaluate the source of your horse's lameness.

 

Surgery - Standing or recumbent surgery of the horse is performed for castration, biopsy and laceration repair. More complicated procedures may be referred to a specialist.

 

Radiography - uses x-rays to visualize bone for abnormalities including arthritic changes, fractures, ocd, bone cysts and bone infection.



Pneumatic dentistry
- this in clinic procedure uses air power to effectively float uneven and malaligned teeth.


Haul-in facility - our haul-in facility allows you to bring your horse to us for surgeries, IV fluid therapy, intensive care and other procedures. A padded pen allows for safer recovery when general anesthesia is required.
