Prior to scheduling surgery, we will discuss all treatment options available to you and your horse. Our goal is to allow you to fully understand the benefits and potential risks of surgery and make an informed decision about your horse’s care.

What does surgery involve?
Surgery for horses is very similar to surgery for dogs and cats. We request that you inform us of any medications your horse is taking.
Upon the completion of surgery, you will be informed of all care instructions for recovery. If you have any questions or concerns about your horse’s surgery, or would like to schedule a surgery, please contact our office.
