AMBULATORY SERVICE
Routine preventive health care including vaccinations, deworming, lab testing, physical exams, lameness evaluations, pre-purchase exams, reproductive management, and 24 hour emergency service.

HOSPITAL
Our hospital is conveniently located near the intersections of SR 46 and I-4 in western Seminole County. It houses a reception area, offices, pharmacy, laboratory, treatment area, holding stalls and surgery.

SURGERY
We provide elective and emergency soft tissue surgery, wound management and after care.  Castrations, hernia repairs, eye enucleations, cryosurgery, and tendon surgery (including PRP and Stem Cell) are just some of the procedures we offer.

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING & THERAPY
1.  Digital Ultrasound.  Ultrasound is a valuable imaging tool for evaluating and diagnosing many different conditions and monitoring the healing process. Ultrasound is used to evaluate pneumonia, abdominal pain, cardiac disease, umbilical infection, anatomical sites with a mass or swelling, pregnancy, as well as joint, tendon, and ligament injuries. Our  MyLab30 ultrasound is used in the clinic and in the field to provide state-of-the-art imaging for patients, and to provide guided injections of PRP, iRAP. and Stem Cell therapies.           

2.  Digital Radiography. The advent of portable digital radiography has allowed us to x-ray areas of the horse's body that were previously difficult to obtain high quality images. Our Eklin II direct digital portable x-ray unit can provide instant results for on-the-spot diagnostic assessments, as well as, high quality pre-purchase and sale films.

3.  Shockwave Therapy. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), more commonly known as just shockwave, is a relatively new treatment modality that has shown efficacy in treating certain conditions. To date the most successful applications for ESWT have been suspensory ligament desmitis, chronic muscle soreness (back pain) and fibrosis, and tendonitis, although it has also been used with good results for horses with chronic heel pain (navicular syndrome) and other tendon injuries. Shockwaves are high-energy acoustic (sound) waves using a hand piece to focus and transmit the waves. The waves travel through tissues via contact with the hand piece, affecting the soft tissue and bone structures in a targeted area. Shockwave is usually administered in a series, with several treatments at 2-3 week intervals.


INTERNAL MEDICINE
 Internal medicine encompasses all things that do not involve surgery or orthopedic work. This leaves problems involving the lungs, heart, brain, spinal cord, intestinal tract, urinary tract (kidneys and bladder), internal organs (liver, pancreas and spleen), endocrine system, etc. These problems can include organ failure, infections, cancers, toxicities, metabolic problems such as Cushing's Disease and Metabolic Syndrome, and congenital problems. Some of the more common cases that we see are cases of severe pneumonia, liver disease, kidney disease, and neurological problems. Neonatal care also falls under the umbrella of internal medicine as well.
 

REPRODUCTION
We provide artificial insemination services including breeding with chilled and frozen semen, mare and stallion evaluation,  uterine cultures, cytology and biopsies, and neonatal  care.

SPORTS MEDICINE
Lameness evaluation, pre-purchase exams...Lameness diagnosis and sports medicine is a highly specialized area of equine practice that requires significant expertise. Thorough physical exams, lameness exams (sometimes under saddle), and knowledge of current therapies and treatments are necessary. A combination of diagnostic joint and nerve blocks are often used to help pin down the injured or abnormal area in a horse exhibiting lameness or decreased performance. Our clinicians are experienced in the use and interpretation of radiography, ultrasound, and other diagnostic modalities. Treatments can include therapeutic joint and tendon sheath injections, shockwave, physical therapy, chiropractic and massage therapy,  and many other options.
 

DENTISTRY
We perform routine and advanced dentistry at our clinic and in the field, including routine dental exams, advanced/motorized equilibration, performance floating, oral surgery and extractions, and dental x-rays.
Our doctors have a wealth of knowledge and experience in equine dentistry. While examining your horse, we may recommend advanced dentistry if we feel your horse would benefit from more than a routine float. Dentistry is a great resource for horse owners trying to improve performance, comfort, or feed utilization for their horses.

OPHTHALMOLOGY 

LABORATORY
Having our own in house laboratory provides the availability of comprehensive, reliable test results that is a vital function for the continuous care provided at CFEH. Our laboratory services include hematology, serum chemistry, urinalysis,bacteriology, cytology, and parasitology.
