Cardiology

Cardiology Services

Horses & Equine Athletes, just like their humans, suffer from heart disease which can have serious and sometimes fatal consequences. While it's possible for a horse to live for many years without showing symptoms, heart disease will progress over time and affect other organs as well.  A pet that has an individual treatment plan focused on heart health stands to have a longer and more comfortable life than one without.

We offer an array of cardiology services, including a cardiology extension service for veterinarians in the Indianapolis area. Our goal with the cardiology extension service is to provide veterinarians with a comprehensive, individualized written assessment on-site, including diagnosis and findings, recommendations for additional testing that should be done, and any treatments and medications that are recommended for their case.

In case of after-hours emergencies, please call the closest veterinary emergency center or call us at   765-494-8548.
