Congenital umbilical hernias are not uncommon in young horses and we offer this surgery in the field. We will give an injectable pain medication beforehand to provide pain management during and shortly following surgery. The animal is then sedated, the area around the hernia is locally blocked, and the hernia is surgically corrected. We provide a tetanus vaccine as well as post-op antibiotics and pain medications.

Whether it's your new yearling or an older stallion, we offer castrations for horses and other equids. Your animal will be placed in a surgical plane of anesthesia for the procedure and the surgical area will be locally blocked. We provide a tetanus vaccine as well as antibiotics and pain medications to keep your horse comfortable post-op.

Lacerations are one of the most common cases we see in our horse patients. Once we arrive to your property, we will sedate your animal first in order to better assess the wound. Depending on the severity and age of the wound, our doctors will either close it with primary or second intention methods. We will provide a necessary tetanus vaccine, pain medications, and antibiotics if indicated to keep your animal protected and comfortable.

For all of our dental procedures, we sedate the patient and then load them into our mobile stocks unit. Once the animal reaches a proper plane of anesthesia, an oral speculum is placed on the animal so our doctors are able to do a full oral exam with a mirror and light. Each mouth's findings and treatment will be charted and sent to you for your own records. Recommendations will be made based on what is found in the mouth. Our doctors use both power and hand float instruments to balance the mouth.

Our doctors will approach your horse's lameness systematically. We offer ultrasound and radiograph imaging if they are indicated and will provide multimodal pain management plans to keep your animal comfortable while they heal.

Prepurchase exams are recommended for any new horse purchase in order to determine if the animal is suitable for purchase. A PPE appointment will include assessment of the animal's physical health, lameness, neurological status, behavior, and ground manners. Radiographs of the all four feet is included as well. If additional testing or radiographs are indicated, they will be discussed at the appointment.

The number one emergency call for horses is one that our team is highly equipped and ready for. Do not hesitate to reach out if you notice your horse displaying the classic colic signs - not eating or defecating normally, kicking or pawing (especially at their belly), restlessness, or rolling. Our doctors will come out as soon as they are available to assess and triage your animal.
