The advantages of horse clinics lie in their interdisciplinary and specialized expertise, modern diagnostics and inpatient monitoring. A particularly important advantage is their consistent specialization in horses and their high level of experience.
Only veterinarians who work intensively with the physiology and complex diseases of horses work in horse clinics. The specialist knowledge in areas such as orthopedics, internal medicine, surgery or dentistry as well as the daily work with a large number of comparable cases ensure a high level of diagnostic reliability as well as precise and routine diagnostics and therapy for horses.
The close collaboration of several disciplines under one roof is a central feature of horse clinics. Different horse specialists coordinate diagnostics and therapy together. This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of the causes and the definition of holistic treatment strategies for horses, especially in complex clinical pictures. Preventative examinations, well-founded advice and structured aftercare help to reduce relapses and ensure long-term horse health and quality of life.
Another advantage of horse clinics is accessibility and quick help in medical emergencies. Inpatient specialist support is available at any time. In acute situations, every second counts for horses, as immediate action often makes the difference between life and death. The Horse clinic at Sorpesee offers 24/7 availability and individually tailored therapies that support the long-term health of the horses.
Intensive care cases such as colic, serious injuries or internal diseases require immediate diagnosis and close care. Bright, spacious and partly camera-monitored boxes ensure continuous monitoring of the horse and ensure needs-based care even in critical situations.
The high standards of inpatient care are another advantage of the horse clinic. Modern operating areas, specialized surgeons and standardized anesthesia procedures ensure a high level of safety. Continuous medical monitoring is carried out after operations or in the event of serious illnesses.
The extensive technical equipment is also essential in other areas of the horse clinic for precise diagnostics of horses. With the help of imaging procedures such as digital X-rays, ultrasound and endoscopy, as well as the use of in-house laboratories, a quick and precise diagnosis is possible.
A key advantage of horse clinics is the comprehensive range of modern dentistry available. Regular dental check-ups, outpatient treatments and surgical procedures can be carried out under optimal medical conditions. With the help of imaging procedures such as dental endoscopy and digital imaging, complex findings can be accurately assessed. Complex tooth extractions are also part of the standardized range of services offered by horse clinics. The routine removal of wolf teeth as well as the specialized diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as EOTRH help to reduce pain and sustainably improve the horses’ quality of life.
Good horse clinics have a broad therapeutic spectrum that goes beyond individual treatment measures. An important focus is on orthopedics with structured lameness diagnostics. With the help of movement analysis, flexion tests, diagnostic anesthesia and targeted imaging procedures, equine clinics can carry out a precise root cause analysis of diseases of tendons, ligaments, joints and the spine. In addition to pure medication, scientifically based therapies such as ACP, IRAP, ABPS, stem cell therapies, focused shock wave therapy, bisphosphonates, cryotherapy or laser therapy are used in horse clinics for therapy.
In highly qualified horse clinics, the orthopedic treatment concept is expanded to include chiropractic and physiotherapy. Joint blockages, movement restrictions and muscular imbalances are specifically treated in horses in order to optimize biomechanics and freedom from pain. The range of treatments is aimed equally at sport and leisure horses and includes preventative measures, rehabilitation after lameness or operations and the support of age-related changes.
The advantage of modern, interdisciplinary horse clinics lies in individually tailored rehabilitation plans, controlled movement development, in-depth gait analyzes and accompanying advice on training, husbandry, feeding, hoof trimming and saddle fit. This means that the therapy goes beyond surgical or medication measures and is consistently aimed at sustainable stabilization and the horse’s long-term resilience.
Very good horse clinics have professionally organized driving practices that enable prompt medical care directly in the stable. Fully equipped practice vehicles ensure comprehensive care and flexible scheduling. Mobile services such as digital x-rays, ultrasound, video bronchoscopy, focused shock wave therapy and dental treatments are available on site.
Another advantage of horse clinics is the specialized reproductive medicine and the professional care of mares and foals. With the help of modern ultrasound diagnostics and structured follicle checks, the mare’s cycle is precisely monitored and the insemination time is precisely determined. While fresh semen is often used in the mare’s usual environment, the use of frozen semen requires inpatient care under controlled conditions. The horse clinic ensures that genetically valuable stallions can be used at any time. The specialized foal medicine at a horse clinic enables early care for newborn animals and ensures a healthy start in life.
