Equine Hospital

Expert care for complex medical challenges with our comprehensive Equine Internal Medicine Service.

Equine Internal Medicine focuses on diagnosing and managing a wide range of complex conditions in horses. Our Equine Internal Medicine Service is designed to address diverse health issues such as gastrointestinal, respiratory, endocrine, and neurological disorders. With a team of dedicated equine internal medicine specialists, we're prepared to take on the most challenging cases.

Our commitment is to the well-being of your horse. Using advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatments, we strive to provide personalized, comprehensive care. Each case is approached with a unique blend of science, experience, and compassion.

We were met very promptly, and our horse was handled as if they had known him all his life. The 4th year veterinary student was very kind, took his history, listened carefully, and responded with thoughtful, relevant questions. The surgeon explained what she found during the exam and discussed the available options. She gave us ample time to make decisions and kept us informed while we waited.
