Surgery & Medical Management
Many surgeries are available in the field, but for those that aren't, we can accomodate many of them at our facility. These include such procedures as Hernia Repair, Ophthalmic Surgery & Enucleations, Sarcoid and Removal (including cryogenic reimplatation of sarcoids), Neurectomy, Tumor Removals, Check Ligament Surgeries, Ultrasound-guided ACP therapy, and many other options.
We boast full-range medical treatment and management of both acute and chronic disorders in all breeds of horse, from neonates to the most geriatric of patients. Acute medical colics and other illnesses can be managed in our hospital until it is wise to discharge the patient. Chronic or recurrent conditions can also be managed, sometimes with a hospital stay and sometimes at your home or training facility. These include but are certainly not limited to Inflammatory Airway Disease, Cushings, Equine Metabolic Disorder, Insulin Resistance, chronic allergies, EPM, Uveitis/Corneal Ulcers, Laminitis/Founder, HYPP, PSSM, Osteoarthritis, Respiratory Ailments, Chronic Allergies, and Melanoma/Gray Horse Disease.
In addition, if the show arena is your thing, we are as committed as you are to keeping your show horse in the best condition possible. This is always a combination of soundness and overall health, and we take both very seriously. Since Dr. Barrow is an avid horse shower, we understand the timing and legalities of medical treatments and adhering to breed or FEI rules and standards. We put the reins in your hands when deciding on treatment & maintenance options for your show horse.
*** WE DO NOT OFFER COLIC SURGERIES. WE WILL REFER TO YOUR CHOICE OF SURGICAL CENTER IF THE NEED ARISES. OPTIONS INCLUDE THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA (40 MINUTES FROM OUR OFFICES), COOSA VALLEY EQUINE CENTER (PELL CITY, ALABAMA), OR AUBURN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE (AUBURN, ALABAMA). WE ARE HAPPY TO ASSIST WITH INSURANCE PAPERWORK OR OFFER REHAB OPTIONS AND POST-SURGICAL CARE.***
