Equine Health: Specialized Services

Searching for specialized health services for your horse? Need help developing a sound health management program for your horse herd? Dealing with a health crisis in your barn?

You’re in good hands when you come to the WCVM Veterinary Medical Centre where horse health care has been one of our strengths for more than 30 years.

Backed by upgraded facilities and advanced technologies, our clinical teams offer the latest diagnostic techniques and a full range of therapies to all of our equine patients.

The WCVM Veterinary Medical Centre serves as the referral centre for all western Canadian veterinarians. Horse owners also rely on the centre's Large Animal Clinic and Field Services for primary health care and around-the-clock emergency services.

High-tech diagnostic tools

Our medical imaging resources include digital radiography, computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, standing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear scintigraphy — a key tool for diagnosing challenging lameness cases. Advanced diagnostic testing is also accessible through Prairie Diagnostic Services — the provincial laboratory that’s located next door to the medical centre.
