Equine Emergency Care
Our equine emergency services operate 24/7 with veterinarians available for urgent care at any hour. We handle colic, injuries, and critical conditions using portable diagnostic tools for farm visits or in-hospital treatment. Our facility includes colic stalls and isolation units for specialized care.
Small Animal Surgery
We perform soft tissue, dental, and orthopedic surgeries with advanced monitoring equipment for patient safety. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and IV fluid therapy ensure optimal surgical outcomes. Our team prioritizes pain management and post-operative care for pets.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our diagnostic imaging services include digital radiology, ultrasound, and endoscopy for accurate diagnosis. Portable equipment enables on-farm equine imaging while in-house tools support rapid small animal evaluations for conditions affecting joints, organs, and respiratory systems.
Veterinary Dentistry
We offer comprehensive dental services including oral exams, extractions, and power floating for horses. For small animals, we provide cleanings, extractions, and dental disease prevention programs using intraoral cameras for precise diagnostics and treatment planning.
Alternative Treatments
Certified veterinary acupuncturists provide alternative treatments for pain management and chronic conditions. We combine traditional Chinese medicine with Western veterinary practices to address lameness, neurological issues, and performance-related concerns in equine and small animal patients.
