Equine Emergencies

  • From minor cuts to complex wounds, we provide prompt, meticulous laceration repair to protect your horse from infection and promote optimal healing. Our approach focuses on thorough cleaning, precise closure, and aftercare planning to minimize complications.

  • When a horse is acutely or severely lame, rapid diagnosis is critical. We perform comprehensive assessments to identify the source of pain and deliver targeted treatment, helping restore comfort, mobility, and long-term soundness.

  • Colic can escalate quickly and requires immediate attention. We offer on-site evaluation and treatment to stabilize your horse, relieve pain, and determine the best course of action—whether medical management or referral for advanced care. Our veterinarians are apt at advanced diagnostics including abdominal ultrasound and abdominocentesis.

  • Equine eye injuries require careful and urgent evaluation. Our emergency care extends to comprehensive assessment and treatment of eye injuries, safeguarding your horse’s vision and overall well-being

..and everything in between!

Regarding your horse’s health, emergencies don’t adhere to a schedule. At Larch Veterinary Services, we recognize the unpredictability of equine emergencies, and our commitment to your horse’s well-being extends around the clock, 365 days a year.
