Yes. We provide equine emergency care both during clinic hours and through our after-hours on-call system. If your horse is experiencing an acute condition—colic, difficult foaling, severe lameness, a laceration, or respiratory distress—call our main line at (740) 622-0013 immediately. After-hours calls transfer directly to our on-call veterinarian, who can assess the situation and advise on next steps or dispatch care as needed.

A lameness evaluation typically begins with a thorough visual assessment of the horse at rest and in motion—at a walk and trot on a straight line and on a circle—to help localize the affected limb or limbs. From there, our veterinarian will perform a hands-on examination of the limbs, joints, hooves, and soft tissue structures, followed by flexion tests and, when indicated, nerve blocks to further isolate the source of pain. Digital radiography may also be used to evaluate bony structures.

Yes. Equine dental care is an important part of overall horse health and is something we address regularly at the Animal Medical & Surgical Center of Coshocton. Equine dental evaluations and floating—the process of filing sharp points and irregularities on the teeth—help prevent pain, difficulty chewing, weight loss, and behavioral problems associated with dental discomfort.
