Ambulatory Service

Under circumstances where transporting your horse to one of our clinics is either inconvenient for you or undesirable for your horse, we have the benefit of fully mobile equipment which can be brought directly to your yard. This enables us to perform a comprehensive diagnostic work up and advise you on the most appropriate course of treatment for your horse with maximum convenience.

Digital Mobile Radiography
We can acquire very high quality x-rays very quickly and efficiently. The x-rays can be rapidly emailed to insurance companies, potential purchasers and specialist radiologists when necessary. The x-ray system gives hospital standard images but on the move, so severely lame animals need not risk potential exacerbation of a problem during transport. If transport proves necessary for treatment, the appropriate splinting techniques can be employed, based on the diagnosis from the x-ray.

Shock Wave Therapy
A state of the art treatment for ligament and tendon problems.
Digital Mobile Ultrasonography
Our machine is capable of very high quality tendon and ligament scans. In addition we have additional probes for the machine that allow assessment of the liver, kidneys, intestines and spleen. Where biopsies or exact positioning of injections into an area are required, such as when injecting stem cells, our machine is used to ensure optimal needle placement. The scanner is equipped with extra software to allow visualisation of normal and abnormal blood flow in the heart, allowing excellent assessment and monitoring of cardiac murmurs. We also have three other scanners dedicated to reproductive work.
ECG
A piece of equipment used to investigate irregularities in heart rhythm. We also use this when monitoring horses we are treating for atrial fibrillation (heart flutter) at the clinic.

Endoscopy
This allows us to examine internal structures such as the larynx and airways. Samples, injections and biopsies can be directed towards specific structures. Recently we have successfully treated a nasal tumour by injecting it via the endoscope. More commonly the scope is used to investigate abnormal respiratory noises and coughing.
Cryotherapy
This is a treatment utilising liquid nitrogen to freeze cancerous tissue. The technique is particularly useful for the treatment of Sarcoids.
Advanced Tendon Injury Treatment
We offer advanced treatments including stem cell therapy and platelet rich plasma. We have been particularly pleased with the results we have attained by injecting platelet rich plasma using ultrasonographic guidance into torn areas within suspensory ligaments. We combine our efforts in the treatment of these difficult cases with the physiotherapists in the therapy centre at Moulton and at home. The horses will have the best possible chance of a good recovery.
Artificial Insemination
We are experienced in equine reproductive management and artificial insemination techniques. John has also received training in embryo transfer techniques.
Equine Fertility Scheme
We offer various reproduction packages so that our clients can budget for their stud season.
Advanced dentistry
We have the equipment, further training and knowledge to perform tooth extractions and power rasping where necessary.

Advanced lameness investigations and treatments
Localising pain in horses can be difficult but by using the latest diagnostic nerve blocking techniques we can usually find the source of the pain. The area is then investigated further using digital radiography and/or ultrasound as appropriate. Occasionally a horse will require an MRI scan or nuclear scintigraphy (bone scan). We are experienced in using and interpreting the images acquired using these technologies. We offer a wide variety of treatments tailored to each individuals need and budget. We work along with a variety of remedial farriers, physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors where appropriate to ensure our patients have the best possible chance of a rapid and sustained recovery.
Pre-purchase examinations
Our equine vets have experience in all areas of the equine industry and they understand the requirements of horses and owners in the various equine disciplines.
In house laboratory
By having a laboratory within the practice we can process blood samples efficiently and quickly. We also perform faecal worm egg counts to aid in parasite control programmes.
Qualified nursing staff
We have five qualified veterinary nurses, most of whom ride and are horse owners. They are a valuable addition to our equine team.
