WE'VE GONE DIGITAL!
We now have digital radiograph equipment which produces films with greater detail and clarity. The films are taken at your barn and can be viewed almost immediately and copied to a disk for your records or sent for a second opinion via email if necessary. Also, we've added additional film screens so now we can take more views as needed of the head and neck region. Keeping up with advances in diagnostic imaging is important to us so that we can provide the most accurate diagnosis for our clients.
I have added regenerative medicine to my toolbox. Prostride uses your horse's own blood to help heal lameness, joint pain and more. Inflamed joints are painful to your horse and, if not addressed quickly, may progress to arthritis. Inflammation can break down cartilage, resulting in permanent damage to the joint and chronic pain. Prostride APS restores the healthy environment of the joint with natural anti-inflammatories and healing growth factors. Blood is drawn right at your farm and it is transferred into a device which is spun in a centrifuge to create a concentrated solution of the horse's natural healing properties. The cell solution is injected back into the damaged area under sterile conditions right at your barn. The whole process can be done in about 1 hour. Care you can count on, for the long run. Safe for your horse. Natural healing properties. Effective for up to 1 year. Little to no down time. Proven.
Dr. McCombs is available to do a presentation or hands-on demonstration for groups of any size about veterinary topics of your choosing or timely topics of interest to your group. She has spoken to saddle clubs, Purina HOW seminars, 4-H groups, state licensing organizations, pony clubs and others. Please call to schedule Dr. McCombs.
