Surgical Services
The surgery facility at Austin Equine consists of a large surgery suite and two padded induction/recovery stalls. An experienced, well-equipped surgical group, led by Board Certified surgeon Dr. JoLynn Joyce, is trained to perform and assist in a wide variety of emergency and elective surgeries.
A veterinarian performs gas anesthesia, and advanced monitoring of vital signs is performed to assure safe anesthesia for your horse. Our team at Austin Equine strives to excel in client communication and provides excellent, individualized care for your horse.
Dr. Joyce’s research during her surgical residency focused on pain control in stallions undergoing standing laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy. She has since developed a strong interest and skill in multiple laparoscopic procedures including not only cryptorchidectomies, but also ovariectomies, abdominal explores and nephrosplenic space ablation. There are many advantages to laparoscopy including the lack of need for general anesthesia in most cases and a quicker recovery period.
