Do you see emergencies?
Yes! Current clients take priority, and as a solo-doctor practice, availability may be dependent on the schedule. CSU or Littleton Equine are referral places if we are not available.
What is an emergency?
Lame foals
Any lame neonate is a septic joint until proven otherwise. Hours matter – call and bring them in immediately.
Lethargic foals or foals with diarrhea
Foals can go downhill so quickly. Any sick foal needs to be seen immediately. We have equine plasma, IV fluids, IgG SNAP tests, and more for treating sick foals.
Retained placenta
These absolutely must come out within 3 hours of foaling, or they will lead to colic, laminitis, tying up, and death.
Snake bites!
We strongly recommend treating all snake bit equines with antivenom due to risks of cardiac injury from venom. We carry Rattler brand.
Eye abnormalities or injuries
All eyelid lacerations, all cloudy eyes, any ocular injury – bring them in. Hours can make the difference between keeping the eye, or having to enucleate.
Urinating blood
Tying up is the main concern if a horse – especially one currently or recently ridden – has red urine or bloody urine. Delays in treatment can lead to (more) expensive bills or death.
Lacerations (near a joint)
Any wounds near a joint should be seen as soon as possible. This is another area where hours make a significant difference in prognosis.
