We use state-of-the-art, portable diagnostic tools to capture rich image data to inform a clear diagnosis for your horse. With a clear diagnosis we can make the appropriate treatment protocols for your horse and you can be back doing what you love in the most efficient amount of time. The portability of our diagnostic tools means we can help you find the answer at your horse’s barn—without the hassle of hauling in.
Digital Radiology
We partner with Dr. Myra Barrett at Inside Information Radiology to provide state of the art imagery for our clients. Inside Information Radiology is an entirely equine focused radiology group owned by some of the top names in the field of radiology. Their team is exceptional in their knowledge base and provides a quick turn around emergency consults and pre purchase exams.
Digital Ultrasound
We use the Logic R9 Ultrasound System by Sound Technologies. With this machine we are able to better visualize some areas of the body without having to clip or shave your horse. The new technology provides crisper, better imagery that assists in diagnosing lameness in specific areas and any potential lesions that may have occurred. It allows our team to confirm or disprove the presence of soft tissue injuries prior to medicating for pain.
Gastroscopy
What are Gastric Ulcers?
Ulcers encompass a variety of lesions within the stomach. Lesions can occur in either the upper or lower stomach location but behave differently in terms of risk factors and response to treatment. This illustrated the importance of gastroscopy to locate and grade disease.
There are two types of ulcers that we are looking for when scoping your horse:
1. Squamous Ulcers - ulcers affecting the upper squamous region of the stomach.
2. Glandular Ulcers - ulcers affecting the lower glandular region of the stomach.
