We believe our clients are more than just numbers; they each have a narrative to tell. Our goal is to provide the best care possible for your horse, and we are available for you whether your animal requires primary treatment or an emergency operation.

Today, let’s explore some of the equine services we offer to help your gentle giant live their best life possible. Keep reading to learn more, and contact us to arrange your horse’s appointment.

Ophthalmology

Horses' eyes are exceedingly fragile, and this, along with the horse's need to see, implies that a doctor should immediately treat any indication of potential eye disease.

Your horse's eyes are crucial to his or her health, performance, and well-being. Eye diseases, infections, and eye injuries may pose serious health threats that may even become fatal to a horse if not treated promptly and effectively.

Here at Countryside, we offer equine eye care that includes both medical and surgical treatment options and the latest eye trauma therapies. That said, any damage to the horse's eye is considered an emergency, so iff your horse is experiencing any eye or vision problems, call us immediately at (770) 788-7387.

Lameness/Sports Medicine

Countryside Veterinary Services provides diagnostic testing to identify the underlying health issues of your horse. Our equine veterinarians specialize in diagnosing and treating sport horses in an outpatient environment using the most innovative technologies in ultrasound, radiography, endoscopy, and in-depth lameness evaluations. For more challenging situations, hospitalization is available, which includes round-the-clock care, as well as follow-up tests, treatments, and rehabilitation programs.

Dentistry

Our veterinarian staff specializes in identifying and treating horses with dental, oral, and nasal problems. We are pleased to provide a wide range of horse dental operations, including extractions, thorough oral exams, and sophisticated endodontics.

Our equine dentistry services are provided both at our facility and on the farm. We recommend getting your horse’s teeth examined every six months at Countryside; these appointments may be conveniently integrated into spring and autumn vaccine sessions too! The oral examination is the foundation of horse dentistry. By visually analyzing the mouth, you can decide which treatments are required to maintain your horse performing at its best.

Podiatry

The study of a horse's foot and everything that affects it is known as equine podiatry. Countryside combines the crafts of farriery and blacksmithing with veterinary care knowledge. We can specialize in treating hoof injuries, infections, anomalies, wounds, and foot-related lameness because of this combination. In addition, our veterinary expertise uses all diagnostic methods available to discover foot disorders and provide customized healing plans.

We're Here To Meet Your Needs And The Needs Of Your Horse!

Consider Countryside Veterinary Services as your diagnostic and treatment option if you detect a change in your horse's disposition or work ethic or if you suspect your horse isn't performing optimally in training. Give us a call today for all your equine vet needs.
