Massie Equine Veterinary Clinic & Healing Center provides equine and livestock emergency services for established clients every day. Outside of our business hours, our staff will respond quickly to your needs, either by phone consultation, traveling to your barn, or having you haul into our facility.

​

What does it mean to be an established client? We need to see your horses for annual wellness exams and/or dentals every year to remain established with our practice. We will only come to you if you maintain annual exams, vaccines or dentals with us.

 

DISCOUNTS ON ER VISITS

Clients that use us for their annual equine wellness exams, vaccines and dentals will receive 50% off emergency exams. Clients that use us for annual wellness exams and vaccines without a dental receive 35% off emergency exams.​

​

When Should I Call?

If you’re concerned, it’s best simply to call us. Over the phone, Dr. Massie will evaluate and advise you on the seriousness of the issue. You’ll know whether your horse has a problem that must be addressed immediately, or if it’s something that can wait.

Do call us immediately whenever you see any of these symptoms:

​

• Colic – Your horse is grimacing, shows no interest in food, ears pinned back, possibly pawing at the ground, looking at its side, possibly stretching like a dog, rolling on the ground or throwing itself violently to the ground.

• Choke – Your horse is distressed and food or saliva is dripping from its nose.

• Dystocia – Your mare is having trouble foaling.

• Retained placenta — More than three hours.

• Mare rejects her new foal, or foal isn’t able to nurse within three hours.

• High Fevers (over 103ºF)

• Severe bleeding

• Wounds — Punctures, large wounds, wounds over joints, or wounds showing exposed bone.

• Cuts that may require stitches — The wound must be stitched within 8 hours for the sutures to hold.

• Eye injuries — Cuts, watering, swelling, holding the eye closed.

• Labored breathing

• Non-weight bearing lameness or difficulty walking.

• Difficulty standing or lack of coordination.
