Although we travel a lot for lameness and sports medicine work we also provide general healthcare and emergency care to our local clientele. This includes lacerations, wound management, eye problems, skin issues, weight loss, Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Cushing’s consultations, management of the older horse and all the bumps, lumps and sprains horses acquire.
The basics
Of vital importance for all horses and a significant cause of ill-health is “malnutrition, dental disease and parasites” and we try to correct these in all cases.
Field Procedures
We perform some minor surgical procedures in the field for example: castration, sequestrectomy (removal of infected bone), joint lavage, sinus trephination. These procedures are performed on a case by case basis.
