Preventive Care

Dental Care
Regular wellness examinations are important for every stage of your horse’s life, so don’t forget to schedule your senior horse’s wellness appointments. The best way to help protect your horse as he or she ages is to understand the aging process. We understand that process and can help you help your horse. Even if your senior horse is already being treated for a medical condition, treatment recommendations may change as your horse ages. Sometimes medication dosages need to be adjusted, or medication may need to be changed. Routine physical examinations, including dental examination and another routine diagnostic testing (e.g., blood tests), are important for senior horses because these tests allow us to evaluate how your horse’s health is responding to current management strategies and changing with age. Some problems, such as teeth malocclusion or Cushing disease (pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction), are fairly common in geriatric horses (aged 20 years or older). Treating these problems can help keep your horse comfortable and in good condition.

Vaccination
Just as dogs and cats require core vaccinations from a young age, so must horse receive certain essential vaccines to protect them against serious illnesses. Rabies, a universal and deadly threat to mammals, can cause neurological damage, behavioral changes, and eventually death. This frightening ailment is transferred through the bite of a rabid animal, making it imperative that you vaccinate your horse and keep providing booster shots as needed to maintain protection. Other core vaccinations for horses include those for tetanus, Eastern/Western equine encephalomyelitis, and West Nile virus. These vaccinations also require periodic boosters.
Comprehensive Examination
Our equine ambulatory service permits us to bring our highly qualified staff and medical expertise right to your farm or ranch. We offer preventive care such as annual physical examinations and vaccinations for your horse as well as an emergency treatment if your horse suddenly becomes sick. Horses that are fearful or easily stressed also benefit from being examined in their own environment, where they are likely to feel more secure and calm. This permits us to better evaluate them in a more relaxed and natural setting.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Parasites can be a significant problem in horses. Some horses can have a parasite infection but show no outward evidence, whereas other horses can develop clinical signs ranging from mild illness to severe, life-threatening disease, such as colic (abdominal pain) and colitis (diarrhea). All horses are at risk for exposure to parasites through daily activities such as grazing in a pasture and living in confined stable/barn conditions with other horses. Even horses that appear normal and healthy can be infected and shed parasite eggs by the millions in their manure, contaminating the environment and infecting other horses. Several deworming products are available for parasite control and prevention in horses. We know the parasites in your geographic region and your horse’s environment and can design a parasite control regimen that will provide optimal protection for your horse.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Horses are vulnerable to several ailments caused by parasites or infections. Fungi, bacteria, allergic reactions, or other conditions can cause skin lesions and/or hair loss. Allergic reactions may come from external stimuli, such as the choice of bedding or airborne pollutants, or from food sensitivity.

Infection Treatment

Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Vaccinations for Horses Provides Essential Protection. Every mammal comes into contact with potentially dangerous viruses and bacterial infections in the course of daily life, and horses are no different. This makes vaccinations a critical component of a comprehensive horse wellness plan. Horse vaccines provide protection against several dangerous and even potentially deadly diseases by stimulating a horse’s immune system.

Veterinary Surgery

Laboratory Services
Horses may also need treatment for health problems such as colic, parasites, cancer, or internal organ dysfunction. Periodic lab testing allows us to search for any sign of ill health and prescribe the appropriate treatment or home care as quickly as possible. We can perform these tests during an annual wellness check while also evaluating the need for tooth floating, hoof trimming, and other preventative procedures.
