EquidDoc provides digital and analog health certificates for our equine patients. Health certificates are necessary when traveling across state lines and are required by many organized events, showgrounds and fairgrounds, both in and out of state. A health certificate documents that your horse was examined to be free from infectious disease, which protects your horse and the rest of the barn from unknowingly transmitting disease. Most health certificates are good for travel for 30 days after examination.

EquidDoc has the latest in digital radiography and ultrasound equipment. Digital radiography uses x-rays to instantly visualize bone. This is helpful for assessing fractures, evidence of laminitis, arthritis, and bone spurs on the farm. EquidDoc offers podiatry x-rays to assist your farrier with trimming and shoeing, and we can directly email your farrier the x-ray images.

Digital ultrasound is most appropriate for visualizing soft tissue, including tendons and ligaments to assess areas of inflammation, sprains, or strains. Chests and abdomens may be scanned with ultrasound to evaluate heart, lungs, abdominal organs, and fetal assessment in pregnant mares. In foals, umbilical abnormalities and lungs may also be evaluated using ultrasound.

EquidDoc’s Equine First Aid Kit

Accidents happen, especially with horses, but what matters is how you react to them. When an emergency arises, such as a runny eye or a laceration, contact EquidDoc to see whether a visit is necessary and what first aid can be applied.

Ideally, your first aid kit is mobile and can travel with you and your equine companion on trailer rides, camping trips and to horse shows. It’s also a good idea to have extra supplies stored in the barn to restock your kit as needed. Your EquidDoc veterinarian is happy to discuss which prescription medications you should have on hand to customize your kit to your preferences and to meet your horse’s needs.

Communication with your veterinarian is key and having an extensive first aid kit does not replace a call to your veterinarian. Having a good description of the injury before calling your EquidDoc veterinarian can help them hypothesize what is going on and what first aid care you can provide until they arrive.

EquidDoc is happy to provide you with our very own basic first aid kit! This kit is an excellent starting point for most illnesses or injuries, and the bag is big enough to add more supplies as you need. Please call 508-885-4205, email office@equiddocvet.com, or ask your EquidDoc veterinarian when you see them on the farm to purchase a first aid kit! … See MoreSee Less
