Fast when it matters
All equines treated
Equine specialist network
Our doctors can see your horses, donkeys, and mules for minor to moderate sickness concerns.
For more intensive medical issues, we can recommend equine-only specialists at Elgin Veterinary Hospital, Texas A&M, and other equine-only facilities — and we’ll refer you with a complete medical summary so the receiving team is fully prepared.
Common conditions we diagnose and manage include colic, respiratory disease, diarrhea, Cushing’s disease (PPID), choke (esophageal obstruction), lameness, pregnancy and complications, and infectious disease.
Each visit is tailored to your animal’s needs, but here’s the full scope of what we routinely offer.
Physical exam, gut motility assessment, and treatment for medical colic. Surgical colic cases referred to equine surgical facilities with complete records and communication.
Systematic lameness evaluation — observation, hoof testing, flexion tests, and diagnostic nerve blocks where indicated.
Diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infections, influenza, strangles, and other infectious conditions. Biosecurity guidance for barn outbreaks.
ACTH testing, Cushing’s management with Prascend, and metabolic monitoring for horses with laminitis risk or hormonal disease.
Complex cases referred to Elgin Veterinary Hospital, Texas A&M Large Animal Hospital, or other equine specialty centers with complete documentation.
From the moment you book to the follow-up call after — here’s how a typical visit unfolds.

Pawing, looking at the flank, rolling, getting up and down repeatedly, not eating, elevated heart rate, and absence of gut sounds. Any suspected colic should be evaluated promptly — call us immediately.
Most often poorly soaked hay cubes, grain, or inadequately chewed feed. Signs: feed and saliva draining from the nose, distress, neck stretching. It’s an emergency — call right away.
Yes. We test using ACTH blood levels and manage Cushing’s (PPID) with Prascend (pergolide). Early diagnosis and treatment significantly improves quality of life and laminitis risk.
Cases requiring intensive hospitalization, advanced imaging (MRI, CT), surgical intervention for colic, or specialty expertise. We call ahead and send complete records.
Yes. Donkeys and mules have some unique physiological differences — particularly in how they show pain — but our veterinarians are experienced with all three equine species.
