DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY

​​​

  • Radiography is often used as part of lameness evaluation, pre-purchase evaluation, and dental examinations

  • Digital radiography allows our veterinarians to acquire and review high resolution x-ray images instantly on the farm at the time of your horse’s exam

  • This enhances our ability to diagnose bony problems with improved accuracy and reduced time, and start any necessary treatment plans immediately following diagnosis

  • In addition, the radiography images are stored digitally, allowing us to easily share via email with owners, potential buyers and other veterinarians

DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND

​

One of the most versatile tools on the truck!

​

  • Ultrasound can be used for imaging of tendons, ligaments, surface of bones, masses, and other soft tissues

  • With these images, veterinarians have the ability to accurately and quickly diagnose the cause of your horse's lameness

  • Ultrasound is also used extensively in the reproductive field for:​

    • Determination of Estrus​

    • Pregnancy checks

    • Fertility Problems

    • Evaluation of lungs in a foal

ENDOSCOPY

 

  • We offer endoscopy of the horse’s upper airway for evaluation of the anatomy of the larynx, pharynx, and trachea 

  • This procedure can be performed stall side and is helpful in identifying airway problems that often affect performance in horses

GASTROSCOPY​​​​​

​

  • We offer gastroscopy of the horse's stomach to definitively diagnose ulcers, distinguish between different types of gastric diseases and determine the best treatment for the horse's specific condition

  • During the gastroscopy, the veterinarian will sedate the horse to keep them still and comfortable through out the procedure. The veterinarian will insert a thin, elongated camera into the horse's nose, swallowed down the esophagus, and into the stomach

  • Our advanced system allows the veterinarian to photograph and record images of effected areas to monitor healing progression
