INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE & SPORTS REHABILITATION
Orthopaedic Evaluation
Lameness is the most frequent cause of reduced performance and loss of use in almost every type of horse. A lameness investigation will usually begin with a full orthopaedic examination and gait analysis at walk and trot.
Acupuncture
The application of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TVCM) principles for diagnosing disease allows us to shed light on the origin of pathologies. I am able to restore health and well-being by looking at the animal’s system in a comprehensive, integrated and complete way.
Ozone Therapy
I am using Ozone Therapy as an integrative medicine treatment that due to its remarkable detoxification and oxidative / reactive properties can stimulate the animal’s body to renew and regenerate itself.
Laser Therapy
This therapy uses laser and LED beams of light to stimulate those cells in the body that repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation and transmit pain. It is a non-invasive treatment that emits no heat, sound, or vibration.
GENERAL SERVICES
Internal Medicine
I can diagnose and treat many disorders that involve multiple organ systems, whether they are sudden or chronic. Regardless of the cause of the disease my emphasis is on non-invasive diagnostic and treatment methods.
Dentistry
Dental care is essential to all equines and will directly influence their overall health. I highly recommend that your animal’s teeth are treated at least once a year. The first visit should take place around 3 years of age.
Dermatology
I treat many different dermatological conditions. The most prevalent cases in equines are caused by allergies, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. In some rare cases the animal may suffer from an immune-mediated disease.
Pre-Purchase & Insurance Exams
I offer a thorough five-stage vetting process to help potential buyers make a more informed decision regarding the purchase of a horse. I can also provide existing owners with an assessment of their animal’s health for insurance purposes.
Surgeries
I perform 24h minimally invasive emergency procedures, such as lacerations resulting from traumas and vaginal lacerations during birth, at your yard.
Ophthalmology
It is important that any eye problems in horses are rapidly diagnosed and treated if permanent damage to the eye and eyesight is to be avoided. For this reason I recommend prompt veterinary assessment for even apparently minor eye problems.
Behavioural Problems
Geriatric Medicine
I give great importance to preventive medicine in senior horses, and will do everything I can to keep them strong and healthy until ripe old age, which they surely deserve. The ‘senior health check-up plan’ covers many important areas.
Reproductive Services
I offer assistance with many aspects of breeding and pregnancy diagnosis and are happy to help you develop a breeding plan that suits your personal management needs.
Nutritional Advice
A healthy diet is as important for equines as it is for humans and their nutritional requirements are greatly dependent on their age and activity level. In terms of good nutrition and feeding management a ‘one size fits all approach’ does not work.
Phytotherapy
I have a deep respect for nature and give importance to herbal medicines that are used in their whole and natural state. Phytotherapy is the oldest medicine known to mankind and promotes the use of natural plant based extracts as medicine and prophylactic agents.
Preventive Medicine
I offer a comprehensive preventive health care program from the moment of birth until ripe old age and will do the best possible to ensure that your horse, pony and donkey enjoy many happy, healthy and harmonious years.
