Lameness can be miserable for horses and frustrating for owners.  A full lameness investigation will involve trying to establish a diagnosis through a thorough examination, observing the horse move, gait analysis with use of the Equinosis Q objective lameness locator, regional nerve blocks to identify sites of pain and imaging the area of pathology with wireless digital x-rays and ultrasound.  We can also organise referrals for further imaging such as MRI or CT scans.  Once we have reached a diagnosis we can  create a tailored treatment plan which might involve taking the horse to surgery at the Beech Trees site. We also work closely with farriers and physiotherapists for ongoing management and follow your horse's progress with re-assessments as and when required. Our aim is to get your horse back to full work with as little disruption as possible.




Advanced Lameness Diagnostics and Treatment

Unexplained weight loss, metabolic disorders, respiratory issues, and internal health concerns require an in-depth veterinary investigation. We use bloodwork, endoscopy, ultrasound scanning, and targeted diagnostics to uncover underlying issues and develop an effective treatment plan.

We work closely with specialist laboratories to ensure rapid processing of samples, with results often interpreted by our vets on the same day. This allows us to provide a swift, informed diagnosis and construct a tailored treatment plan without unnecessary delays.

We are committed to neutral, conflict-free pre purchase examinations, meaning we do not do client-vendor vetting's but we are available for non-clients or buyers purchasing externally. Covering most of Devon, and surrounding areas, we help you make the right choice before committing to a sale.

For complex cases requiring specialist intervention, we work with some of the UK's leading experts in dentistry (Chris Pearce - EDC), ophthalmology (Jim Carter - South Devon Referrals) and  orthopaedics and surgery (Ollie Crowe - BVEC) to provide the highest level of care.
