Internal Medicine & Critical Care

The overall health and performance of your horse depends on the proper function of multiple organs (heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, among others). Our internal medicine service addresses any abnormalities that may affect the well-being of your horse. Just a few of the common problems that we frequently treat include heaves, weight loss, cushings, metabolic syndrome, colitis, and laminitis. We offer comprehensive bloodwork, including in-house CBC and serum chemistry. Digital ultrasound and endoscopy provide images of many internal organs. We also offer hospitalization for certain cases.
