MEVA Facilities
Here We Grow Again…

If you’ve stopped by the clinic this year, you may have noticed that we’ve undergone some expansion and construction.

 

We just completed and moved into our new front office which boasts a large waiting room and ample workspace for our office staff.


Other new additions include...

 A new barn complex which includes three outpatient/broodmare stalls. A Farrier’s room ~ Clients are welcome to bring their farriers to our clinic and use the facility and inventory of shoes we have available. A climate-controlled isolation stall for critical care patients requiring constant monitoring.

Our original main facility incorporates...

A four stall clinic with examination area.  Open space is available for x-rays, ultrasound and vet/farrier teamwork on horses with foot problems. The attached clinic/stall area provides stalls used for illnesses that can be treated medically, injuries and mares to be bred with fresh or frozen semen. Windows from the main office allow additional monitoring capabilities. The treatment area contains a stock used for standing surgeries and breeding. MEVA also provides frozen semen storage housed in the clinic.

Our laboratory provides rapid in-house blood chemistry, electrolytes, CBC, culture and cytology results. There is an outdoor ring for lameness and pre-purchase examinations.

"Before purchasing a new horse, whether it  be for pleasure riding or upper level competition, it's overall health and condition should be thoroughly investigated.

A complete physical exam, soundness evaluation, radiology, blood work and drug screening can  be performed"

--Peter J. O'Halloran, DVM

 

"Lameness exams require close observation of the horse in hand and under tack.

Diagnostic nerve and or joint blocks may be done followed by a radiographic exam and analysis.

Digital radiographs provide immediate high quality images."

--Richard J. Forfa, DVM, Dip. A.B.V.P.

 

"Complementary therapies offered at Monocacy Equine include spinal manipulative therapy (chiropractic), acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine.

They can be used alone or in addition to western medicine when treating many debilitating conditions including neck and back stiffness/pain, muscle spasms, jaw/TMJ pain, gastrointestinal disorders, and a variety of lameness issues."

--Lisa Jeanes-Wagner, DVM, Dip. A.C.V.I.M.
