Diagnostics
Physical exams can only go so far. Different lab analyses allow us to determine what's happening inside. We can draw blood for complete blood cell counts, biochemistry, various disease processes, among others, aiming to identify the best treatment. We also offer stall side blood testing that can give us an indication of health before blood work returns from the lab (serum amyloid A, lactate, IgG).
Digital Ultrasound
We can use ultrasound to set your mare up for breeding and check her throughout pregnancy. We also use it for imaging various soft tissue ailments, usually tendon and ligament injuries.
Digital Radiography
Our totally wireless system makes xrays fast and easy for everyone. Any images needing further investigation can easily be sent to a board certified radiologist who can give a full report within 24hrs.
Thermal Imaging
A specialized camera that allows us to see potential areas of inflammation, pain or asymmetry not readily found with the naked eye or regular exam.
Endoscopy
Gastro and respiratory.
With an endoscope, we can visualize your horse's nasal cavity, upper respiratory system or stomach. Samples and diagnostics can also be acquired with this technique.
Pro-Stride APS
Stall side system that utilizes the horse's blood to generate a concentrated solution of growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins. An alternative to intra-articular steroids.
Resitgen PRP
Stall side system that utilizes the horse's blood to generate a solution of concentrated platelets. A nice addition to the recovery process of soft tissue injuries.

Vaccinations
Preventative medicine is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your horse's health. What vaccinations your horse should receive is based on exposure to other horses, travel, and time of year.
Deworming
Parsite control has become a growing concern among veterinarians as many parasites have developed resistance to the dewormers available to us. It is now suggested we manage the horse's environment judiciously, determine parasite burden and treat parasites as necessary.

We recommend powerfloating your horse's teeth annually. It allows us to safely visualize and manipulate every tooth and readily identify and correct most abnormalities.
