Equine Services |
|
All of our doctors and staff have a love of horses and gain great satisfaction from providing care to our clients with equines, whether it is a small herd on a working farm, a professional stable or equestrian center, or a single backyard horse. As a result of our wide range of expertise, we see and have considerable experience treating a number of equine breeds, which includes quarter, walking, fox trotter, Paso, grade, minis, donkeys, draft, and mules.
It is our goal to always work in the best interest of your equine in a manner that ensures the best service to our clients.
The equine services we offer include:
Vaccines: Missouri has a wide variety of wonderful places to live, farm and raise horses. However, we are not immune from a number of dangerous diseases that can be devastating to horses. These diseases are also highly infectious by nature and could pose a very real risk to the health of individual animals as well as herds.
However, there are a number of vaccines that have proved to be very effective at preventing many equine diseases. At Animal Health Center of Rolla our veterinarians are well versed in the nature and administration of these vaccines and has developed an equine vaccination protocol designed to meet the needs of foals, mature animals, and equines in their senior years.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Medical Conditions: Though we prefer to prevent illness as much as we possibly can, there simply is no guarantee that even a perfectly well-cared for equine will never face a periodic illness or injury. Our veterinarians are experienced and able to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions.
Lameness: While we hope our equine friends never take a lame step, unfortunately lameness happens. We can help identify the cause of lameness through observation, examination, palpation, flexion tests, digital radiography, and ultrasound. Once a diagnosis has been reached we can assist in creating a treatment plan.
Equine Dentistry: Horses and related equines often require some dentistry in order to keep their teeth and gums healthy, which in turn goes a long way toward ensuring they are able to eat properly and maintain good nutritional health. Our veterinarians are able to perform a range of dental services which includes teeth floating, extractions, and balance work on incisors and molars.
Not only will these services prevent painful and uncomfortable teeth and oral conditions from developing, but they are important to ensure your horse is able to properly chew and digest his or her food.
Reproductive Health: Breeding horses is one of the most interesting and compelling enterprises an owner of horses can undertake. It is important to farmers seeking to broaden and maintain their herds and it is an important endeavor for those seeking to produce the next great race or show horse.
Our veterinarian staff is able to offer guidance on breeding and maintaining the health of the mare during pregnancy and delivery. We also offer reproductive ultrasounds during important stages of pregnancy as well as artificial insemination to ensure the best chance of conception.
