Surgery

Toronto Equine Hospital offers orthopedic and soft tissue surgical procedures. Anesthetic monitoring includes a pre-operative anesthetic profile and assessment, blood pressure, electro-cardiography and pulse oximetry. Each patient is carefully monitored from pre-operative to post-operative care.

Digital Radiography

Digital Radiography is used to clearly define various types of osseous and soft tissue pathology. Diagnostic images are ready within seconds for interpretation.

Shock-Wave Therapy
Shock wave therapy is useful in treating suspensory tears and numerous other orthopedic and soft tissue injuries. Our shock wave therapy unit is focused and targeted by inline ultrasonography.

3D Ultrasonography
For soft tissue and orthopedic injuries, the Toronto Equine Hospital offers three dimensional ultrasonography. By compiling cross sectional data, a composite three dimensional model can be created and manipulated to evaluate an infinite number of slices in a 360 degree venue.

Nuclear Scintigraphy

Because our patients cannot talk, nuclear scintigraphy is a valuable diagnostic tool. This imaging device allows us to examine even the largest structures such as the pelvis and hips, helping us to diagnose often difficult lameness cases.

Gastroscopy
Gastric ulceration is a condition suffered by horses of all breeds and disciplines but is particularly common among race horses. Gastroscopy is performed at the Toronto Equine Hospital to assess stomach ulcers and determine the best treatment..
