Horsemen in Virginia’s Hunt Country now have another option for their horse’s emergency care after The Piedmont Equine Practice Inc., opened a new state-of-the-art hospital and clinic between Marshall and The Plains. The 6,500 square foot building includes a premier equine hospital, complete with specialty care and treatment for surgical colics and other medical emergencies requiring surgery.
“We’re excited about our new facility and the opportunity we have to serve horse owners whose animals require emergency services,” said Dr. Joe Davis. “This hospital has been a much-needed addition in an area with a wealth of horses, from Olympic-level athletes to foxhunters and companion animals.”
In addition to emergencies, the surgical wing is also available for elective surgeries such as arthroscopy. The new Piedmont Equine Practice hospital and clinic also includes diagnostic and treatment services such as scintigraphy (bone scans), digital radiography and ultrasound, shockwave therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic. An expanded treatment center also provides the optimum environment for pre-purchase exams, lameness diagnoses and other examinations.
The Piedmont Equine Practice includes 13 veterinarians whose special interests include sports medicine, surgery, emergency care, dentistry, reproduction and alternative therapies. Several of these veterinarians are board certified in specialty areas and focus on continuing education to ensure that the horses they care for receive the most up-to-date treatments available. The veterinarians at Piedmont Equine Practice are truly dedicated to horses and to their mission of making cutting edge medical care available to every horse owner.
Piedmont Equine veterinarians are also available for wellness care, physical examinations and pre-purchase exams. They also offer in-barn lameness exams and advanced diagnostics such as digital radiography and digital ultrasound. Bringing such high-tech tools to the client is more convenient and allows for veterinarians to diagnose and treat a horse in the comfort and safety of his own barn when the condition allows.
The Piedmont Equine Practice serves horse owners in Fauquier, Loudoun, Warren, Fairfax, Rappahannock, Prince William and Clarke counties. While the veterinarians at Piedmont are well known for treating equine athletes in all sports, they’re also relied upon to care for valued breeding stock, trail mounts and retirees.
“It’s important to us provide our clients with the best possible care whenever and wherever they need us, from routine preventative services to emergency surgery,” said Davis. “We hope horse owners will now think of Piedmont for all of their equine veterinary needs.”
