Surgery Options on Farm and In Clinic

Surgical intervention is sometimes necessary to address serious health conditions or injuries that cannot be treated through medication or other non-invasive methods.

For livestock and horses, timely and appropriate surgical care is crucial in preventing long-term pain, disability, and potential loss of productivity. Whether it's a routine procedure or an emergency surgery, our high standard of care ensures that your animals receive the best possible treatment in a safe and controlled environment.

Proper surgical care can relieve pain, promote recovery, prevent complications, and maintain the welfare of the animal.

Examples of surgical procedures for livestock include:

Castration

Castrated horses make better companion animals, while castrated livestock tend to be easier to handle, less aggressive, and more focused on growth. Additionally, the meat quality of livestock is often improved without the presence of testosterone.

Dehorning or Disbudding

Removing horns helps prevent injuries to other animals and humans, particularly in crowded pens or during transportation. It also reduces the risk of horn-related infections and complications.

C-Section

This life-saving surgery allows both the mother and her calves, lambs, or kids to survive when natural birth is not possible. Timely C-sections prevent the risk of death for both the mother and her young.

Hernia Repair

If left untreated, hernias can lead to serious health problems such as infection, strangulation of the intestines, and pain. Surgery can repair the hernia and prevent further complications.

Power Dental Floats

Power dental floats cause less stress on horses and they are at less risk of trauma during the procedure.

Laceration or Wound Repair

Prompt surgical treatment of wounds helps prevent infections, minimize scarring, and speed up recovery. This is especially important for animals that rely on full mobility for grazing, breeding, or milk production.
