Ambulatory Services
Very young, sick, or elderly horses can also benefit from our ambulatory services, as well as horses that need to be seen after hours or on weekends or holidays.
Ambulatory Services
Bringing a horse to the veterinarian’s facility can be a challenge for owners with limited mobility, restricted transportation, or commitments at home that make outside activities difficult. And let’s face it—some horses just don’t trailer well enough to travel. In our continuing efforts to offer the best veterinary care to all of our clients and their horses, we are pleased to offer ambulatory services to care for your horse.
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 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.
Very young, sick, or elderly horses can also benefit from our ambulatory services, as well as horses that need to be seen after hours or on weekends or holidays.
There are many reasons to consider taking advantage of our ambulatory services, so please contact us today if you would like to have one of our professionals make a farm call to assist you and your horse.
Emergency & Critical Care
Emergencies, accidents, and illnesses are unfortunate facts of life, but how many of us plan for the unthinkable before it happens? What would you do if your horse were suddenly sick or injured? Do you have a plan? Do you know where to go for help if your horse needed critical care or had to be hospitalized?
We understand how upsetting it is when your horse is sick or injured. We also know that when your horse is hospitalized and needs critical care services, you want the very best care. For this reason, our practice works closely with several highly skilled, fully equipped medical referral hospitals where your horse can be sent when it is in need of round the clock care or more advanced treatments that are not possible in the field setting.
Your horse is a valuable investment capable of providing a lifetime of companionship and pleasure, but he or she relies on you for daily needs such as food, shelter, and safety. Your horse also needs you to take care of things when they go wrong. We can help you meet this commitment. Our veterinary professionals will be there for you when you need us. Our veterinarians and technical support staff work as a team to respond to emergency calls and critical care situations. Rest assured, if you ever have an emergency with your horse, quality veterinary help is nearby.
Help is only a phone call away. Keep our phone number with your other emergency numbers, and call us any time.
