Services
In-House Lab Diagnostics
Our clinic offers immediate diagnostic capabilities with on-site blood profiling and sample analysis. This enables rapid treatment decisions for critical cases and routine health assessments. The system supports comprehensive equine health monitoring through quick, accurate results.
Digital Radiography
Advanced digital radiography provides high-resolution images for lameness evaluations and injury diagnostics. The system allows permanent digital storage and easy sharing of imaging data with specialists when needed. This technology enhances precision in equine skeletal assessments.
Thermal Imaging
Since 2001, we've used thermal imaging to detect inflammation patterns and soft tissue injuries. This non-invasive technology complements lameness examinations by identifying temperature variations indicating injury or disease in horses.
Digital Video Endoscopy
Endoscopic exams visualize upper airways and esophageal structures through a flexible camera system. This minimally invasive diagnostic tool aids in identifying respiratory issues and digestive tract abnormalities in equine patients.
Class IV Laser Therapy
Our Class IV laser system reduces pain and inflammation while accelerating tissue healing. The therapy promotes circulation and mobility improvement through targeted photobiomodulation, particularly effective for musculoskeletal conditions in performance horses.
