Herd Health/Preventative Medicine

​

Dentistry

Horses routinely suffer from dental problems associated with injury, infection, abnormal or continuous teeth growth, and mal-alignment of the mouth. These dental problems can lead to issues with performance, weight, and overall health. Our veterinarians are well trained in the newest techniques of dental assessment and power floating to diagnose and correct oral problems to ensure your animal’s mouth healthy and pain-free.

​

Lameness

Lameness evaluation plays a crucial role in making sure your animal is sound and able to perform at optimal level. Whether the lameness is in the foot, joints, bones, tendons and ligaments, or muscles, our team is trained to thoroughly evaluate your animal to diagnose the problem and provide the proper treatment to start the healing process.

​

Pre-purchase Examination

Buying the right horse can be a long and difficult process. Let the team at Live Oak County Vet Services provide a comprehensive evaluation of the horse you are purchasing to determine soundness and identify any problems or potential problems that may arise in the future.

​

Digital Ultrasonography

Digital ultrasonography allows our veterinarians to instantaneously image soft tissue structures to aid an immediate diagnosis. Our digital ultrasound units provides high resolution images to detect early pregnancy in horses and cattle.

​

Digital Radiography

Digital radiography captures extremely high quality images in a digitized format that allows our veterinarians to manipulate seeing structures clearly and effectively. The captured images can be emailed to the client, referring veterinarian, or referral hospital prior to surgery or treatment.
