• Time of Need Care: This means that we take to diagnose and treat your horse when it's needed, including sickness, injury, and chronic issues. We can administer IV fluids and obtain test results in 24 hours. We offer emergency services for current patients.
• Pre-Purchase Exams: If you're planning on buying a horse, it's vital that the horse is examined before you buy. These exams include:
• Physical and lameness exam
• Neurologic exam

• X-rays
• Endoscopy
• Ultrasounds
• Geriatric Care: Older horses can face their own issues. We like to catch these issues before they become a problem. Any horses over 15 years old should have an exam and bloodwork to establish baseline vitals.
• Lameness Exam: We evaluate their physical movements and use techniques to identify the sources of lameness.
• Equine Surgery: Surgery is performed for the following reasons, but more difficult surgeries may be referred to a specialist:
• Castration
• Biopsy
• Laceration repair

Specialized Horse Procedures

• Chiropractic Care: Spine adjustment can help issues you've noticed during riding. For athletic horses, it can improve stride, comfort under the saddle, and longevity of their career.
• Ultrasounds: We use ultrasound to examine soft tissues like tendons, ligaments, reproductive organs, lumps, and tumors.
• Digital X-Rays: We use digital x-rays to see and abnormalities in the bone, including arthritis, fractures, OCD, and bone cysts and infection. We provide immediate images that can be enlarged and manipulated better than traditional x-rays.
• Tonometry: To diagnose glaucoma and uveitis, we use intraocular pressure on the eyeball to ensure eye health.
