Lameness Evaluation
We have a special interest in lameness work at Austin Equine Associates. We know that as an owner or trainer, you ask the most of your equine athletes. With the most current knowledge, we offer thorough evaluation of the musculoskeletal system utilizing digital radiography and ultrasonography. For treating sports injuries, we are able to utilize Shockwave Therapy and IRAP.
Acupuncture
Studies have shown that acupuncture can be a beneficial treatment that is complementary to traditional Western medicine. Dr. O’Gan completed his training in equine veterinary acupuncture in early 2008, and this service is now available from Austin Equine Associates.
Preventive Medicine
From the pre-purchase examination to retirement in the pasture, Austin Equine Associates can set up a preventive medicine program to fit your horse’s needs. The doctors at Austin Equine Associates can offer individually tailored vaccination and de-worming schedules, as well as regularly scheduled health and soundness examinations.
Emergency Care
Austin Equine Associates prides itself on being available for your horse's care – day and night. Accidents and illness can happen at any time, so we will always have a veterinarian on-call to respond to emergencies.
Surgery
Austin Equine Associates offers equine surgery with Colorado State University surgeon Dr. JoLynn Joyce in our surgical facility. Interested owners are able to view their horse’s surgery live on a monitor in a private room at our office.
Injury Rehabilitation
If your horse has been injured, Austin Equine Associates can create a rehabilitation schedule to get your horse back to work. In addition to developing a case-specific physical therapy program, we also offer shockwave and other treatments designed to help speed healing and improve recovery rates.
