Services
Equine Dentistry
Our equine dentistry services address sharp tooth points, ulcers, and dental abnormalities through floating procedures. Using motorized equipment and sedation, we perform comprehensive exams and treatments for horses of all ages. Annual dental checkups prevent weight loss and chewing difficulties while maintaining optimal oral health.
Lameness Examination
This diagnostic process identifies musculoskeletal issues through physical exams, movement analysis, and imaging techniques. We utilize nerve blocks, joint blocks, and digital X-rays to pinpoint sources of pain and develop targeted treatment plans for improved equine mobility.
RLT Laser Therapy
Our high-energy RLT Laser promotes tissue repair and pain relief for tendon, ligament, and joint injuries. This advanced technology reduces inflammation, stimulates collagen production, and accelerates healing for horses with musculoskeletal conditions or post-surgical recovery needs.
Diagnostic Testing
We conduct comprehensive diagnostic evaluations including blood work, biopsies, and imaging studies to identify underlying health issues. Our laboratory capabilities support early detection of infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, and other equine-specific medical conditions.
Injury Treatment
Our team provides specialized care for fractures, wounds, and musculoskeletal injuries using advanced therapeutic approaches. We develop customized recovery plans incorporating medication, physical therapy, and regenerative treatments to restore equine health and performance.
