Equine Internal Medicine
The Equine Internal Medicine
Service cares for horses with
complex problems associated with the respiratory,
gastrointestinal, nervous system, muscles, internal organs
and problems associated with neonatal foals. The Equine
Medicine clinicians, residents, students, and veterinary
technicians provide outpatient services for horses with less
complex conditions, and hospitalization services for horses
that require observation during treatment or 24 hour
critical care. This service utilizes advanced diagnostic
techniques including
videoendoscopy,
ultrasonographic examination,
computed tomography, digital
radiography and high-speed treadmill
evaluation. The Equine Medicine Clinicians in the
Veterinary Health Center have completed 4 to 6
years of advanced training beyond veterinary school and are
Board Certified Diplomates of the American College of
Veterinary Internal Medicine.
