Lameness exams are conducted by our veterinarians on a firm, even surface.  This allows them to diagnosis the origin of the soundness issue.  Our veterinarians are also trained to palpate the joints and limbs, evaluate the animal's range of motion, and how the horse responds to joint flexions.  Together this will help them create a treatment plan for you to facilitate at home.

If you fear that your horse may be colicing, choking, or experiencing another ergent or emergent need do not hesitate to contact PVVC.  We will get a veterinarian to you and your horse as soon as we can.
