Vaccinations
We provide customized vaccination programs to protect horses against infectious diseases. Our veterinarians assess each horse's lifestyle and risk factors to create appropriate immunization schedules. Annual vaccinations include core vaccines and optional immunizations based on geographic prevalence and exposure risks.
Coggins Testing
Our Coggins testing service detects Equine Infectious Anemia through blood analysis. We follow proper protocols for sample collection and laboratory submission to ensure accurate results. This essential testing helps prevent disease transmission between horses during travel or herd introductions.
Lameness Exams
Our comprehensive lameness evaluations combine physical examination with diagnostic imaging to identify pain sources. We use systematic methods including nerve blocks and flexion tests to diagnose musculoskeletal issues affecting equine performance and mobility.
Dental Care
We offer complete dental examinations and treatments using power floating equipment. Our services address sharp enamel points, tooth alignment issues, and other oral health problems that affect horses' eating ability and overall well-being through regular semi-annual checkups.
Emergency Services
Our practice provides 24/7 emergency veterinary care for acute equine medical conditions. We respond promptly to urgent situations with immediate on-site assessment and treatment capabilities. Our team maintains constant availability for after-hours emergencies requiring urgent medical intervention.
