Unionville Equine Associates - John Lee Jr

The majority of care we provide is on the farm where the horse is stabled. In addition to providing routine care, our veterinarians make a special effort to develop a unique preventative care program for each farm. Many factors influence what may be a proper program for your farm including the number of horses, travel, competition, housing, reproductive status and age.

Chiropractic and acupuncture can be complementary to a variety of treatment regimens. Some situations that may benefit from these therapies are often considered behavioral problems, such as saddling issues, bucking, rearing and poor performance. But in reality, there is usually an underlying painful condition that is causing the horse to react badly.

Our clinic has a fully equipped laboratory for most routine blood work including complete blood cell counts, fibrinogen, blood chemistry profiles, cytologic exams, fecal exams, bacterial cultures and antibiotic sensitivities.

Endoscopy is the visual examination of interior structures of the body using an endoscope. In the equine, endoscopy is most commonly employed for evaluation of the Upper Airway. However, the endoscope is versatile and can examine other structures such as the stomach, urinary bladder and reproductive tracts.
