Specialized Care for Foals
In addition to adult horses, we provide specialized surgical treatment for foals. As these young horses grow, orthopedic issues may arise. Our services include:
Straightening Crooked Legs: We address developmental abnormalities to ensure proper limb alignment. Diseases like osteochondrosis can affect foals, and we’re here to provide expert care. Treatment may not always be surgical, but include corrective shoeing, bandaging, etc...
Managing Contracted Tendons: Our team helps foals overcome tendon-related challenges.
Umbilical Hernia Repair: We can repair the body wall defect present in umbilical hernias.
Laparoscopy
At McKinlay & Peters Equine Hospital (MPEH) we’re thrilled to introduce a cutting-edge approach: laparoscopy. This minimally invasive technique allows us to perform procedures with precision and minimal disruption to the patient. Instead of large incisions, we make small openings through which we insert specialized instruments and a video camera system. These tiny incisions result in less pain and faster healing times for our equine patients. Whether it’s cryptorchid surgery or ovarian removal, laparoscopy is revolutionizing how we care for our four-legged friends. Join us in embracing this exciting advancement in equine medicine!
