Injuries and Ailments Diagnosed via Radiology and Ultrasounds

Digital imaging, including ultrasounds, and radiographs are used to diagnose a variety of conditions and ailments in horses. Common conditions diagnosed include broken bones, joint problems, tumors, brain abnormalities and problems with the internal organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and bladder.


Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound imaging involves using sound waves to create an image on a computer monitor. When our team passes the wand over an injured area of your horse, we are able to find hidden problems like joint, tendon, muscle and ligament injuries. Also detect abdominal pain such as tumors, cysts, and abscesses. Most importantly discover any late pregnancies or twins. Ultrasound imaging is completely painless and does not have any side-effects.


Radiographs

The common term for a radiograph is an x-ray. These images can help diagnose problems and conditions with the bones and joints, such as broken bones, swelling in the joints and other types of bone abnormalities. X-rays can also be used to diagnose problems with the internal organs, like the heart, lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys.


Diagnosing Your Equine’s Ailment or Injury

Our veterinary staff can rapidly diagnose your equine’s injury or condition via x-rays and ultrasound imaging. Once Easterwood Equine Hospital understands the depth of your equine’s illness or injury, a treatment plan will be developed in order to help your horse heal and restore their health.


 If you have any questions or concerns about your horse’s health and his or her diagnosis, we would be happy to answer them and provide you with guidance in order to help make them comfortable during the healing process.
