Digital Radiography
Digital radiographs, or x-rays, are state of the art technology that allows us not only to take x-rays on the farm, but to see them and analyze them immediately with no developing needed. This is an integral part of diagnosing and treating lameness, which makes us much more efficient. After all, who doesn't appreciate instant gratification?
Ultrasonography
Our ultrasound is the very same model used by human doctors. If it is good enough for you, then it must be good enough for your horse. This technology can be used in a variety of applications, from fertility and breeding monitoring and pregnancy diagnosis to lameness and musculo-skeletal diagnosis and monitoring.
PowerFloat Dentistry
Routine dental care is as important to your horse's health as it is to yours. We have been trained extensively in power flotation, which is the most efficient and effective way to have your horse's teeth floated.
General Wellness
Preventative medicine is the most important type of medicine for the well-being of your horse. This includes vaccinations, Coggins testing and a minimum of once annual dentistry. Vaccines are imperative for the health of your horse. Please speak to your veterinarian about tailoring a vaccination plan to specifically suit the needs of your individual horse or herd. Coggins tests are important for monitoring the health of your horse and are required for a majority of equine events (showing, trail riding, etc). Our practice utilizes digital Coggins, which affords our clients the convenience of accessing their horse's Coggins forms online in the event that the original is misplaced. Please see the above section for more information regarding our dental care guidelines. All other medical questions or concerns can be discussed and addressed with your veterinarian, whether it be pediatric or geriatric, dermatology or orthopedics, medicine or lameness; we do it all!

Microchip Placement
Microchips are electronic devices the size of a grain of rice that are easily implanted in the horse's nuchal ligament
(just below the base of the mane) halfway between the horse's poll and withers. A hand-held radio frequency scanner
reads the number. It's like a VIN (vehicle identification number) for your horse!
It's a permanent ID that cannot be separated from your horse or altered.

Compassionate, At-Home Euthanasia
If you've had the chance to love a dog in your lifetime, you know all too well they don't stay puppies forever. As
they get older and develop a variety of medical issues, we do as much as we can to help add years to their
lives.
Sometimes they give us the gift of passing peacefully in their sleep. Sometimes we have to make the most
difficult decision ever... To help lead them one last time to their rest. We think everyone can agree... it's the worst
part of loving our dear pets. Honestly, it's also the hardest part of being a veterinarian.
Dr. Callie has decided to try to help make this transition as peaceful as possible by allowing you to schedule at-
home euthanasia for your pets when the time comes. We are now offering you, by appointment only (no emergencies), the opportunity to allow your pet to find their peace at home, on the farm, in the place they love,
surrounded by the people who adore them. We believe this makes a most unpleasant day a tiny bit easier for
you and your beloved pet. So, once you have come to this decision, we would be honored to help you see them on
their way as respectfully and peacefully as possible...at home. Call or email the office to make an appointment.
