Wellness Program

Can’t remember when those vaccines are due? Let us take care of all your horse’s health needs. Our exclusive Wellness Program includes all vaccinations, dental care, examinations and deworming necessary for the year for your horse. We call to schedule all appointments so you don’t have to remember! Through the assistance of Pfizer’s Preventicare program we are also able to offer colic surgery assistance if your horse is maintained on Strongid C Daily. The Wellness Plan also offers easy payment options.

Dental Care

The key to a long happy life for your horse is good dental care. We start with a good oral exam using a bright light, manual examination and sedation. This allows for identification of even small problems. We then use high speed Dremel equipment to care for your horse’s teeth with minimal vibration and trauma.

Reproductive Services

From routine follicle assessment to breeding with frozen semen, we are equipped to assist with all your reproductive needs. We are also prepared to care for the problem mare with the ability to perform uterine lavages, antibiotic treatments and years of valuable knowledge.

Lameness Evaluations

Starting with a good physical exam, Springhill Equine is ready to help diagnose your horse’s lameness. We utilize diagnostic nerve blocks, digital radiography, ultrasound and good old-fashioned horsemanship to help return your horse to full performance.

Digital Radiography

Springhill Equine utilizes an AllPro digital system to capture digital radiographic images. This system allows us to capture and analyze images “horse-side” and chose appropriate treatment options immediately. Digital Imaging allows manipulation of the contrast of the image to allow more accurate diagnosis. We are able to magnify very specific areas of the image with no loss of quality. Digital images also allow us to quickly obtain consultation from Specialists should advanced evaluation methods or treatments be necessary. We are also able to readily copy the images to CD or DVD.

Endoscopy

Using our 1 meter Endoscope we are able to visualize the upper respiratory system including the sinuses, guttural pouches and larynx. This allows for early
recognition and treatment of many respiratory diseases.

Ultrasonography

Our Aloka Ultrasound machine has proven its use time and again for both reproduction and lameness evaluation. This valuable tool allows us to glimpse inside the soft tissue structures. Ligaments and tendons can be evaluated by sight and touch for heat and swelling. Ultrasound actually measures the damage to the fibers so that we are better able to provide a prognosis and treatment plan.

For reproduction, ultrasound allows us to pinpoint the exact time of ovulation allowing for precise insemination. In addition, ultrasound aids in evaluating your mare’s reproductive tract for inflammation, infection and other potential problems.
