Internal Medicine
Dr. Ron Vin is board certified in Large Animal Internal Medicine and offers state of the art diagnostics and treatments at the Myhre Equine Clinic.
Video Endoscopy and Gastroscopy
Endoscopy and gastroscopy are performed using a small camera on the end of a flexible scope of either 1 meter or 3 meter in length. The camera is used to take images of the body as it is passes along the desired passage way. Upper and lower airway endoscopy involves examination of the pharyngeal regions, guttural pouches and trachea. Gastroscopy allows for evaluation of the esophagus, stomach and proximal duodenum (small intestine). Gastroscopy exams must be performed after the horse has fasted for a minimum period of time.
Isolation
Our isolation facility is available to treat and house patients with contagious diseases or a suspected contagious disease. The isolation unit consists of two stalls in a barn located approximately ¼ mile from the main clinic. The stalls are under video monitoring as needed for watching patients closely. The unit is heated for winter months and cooled via fans in the summer. The unit is stocked with materials and medications to treat patients without the worry of contaminating the main barn and complex.
One stall is equipped with a small in and out paddock to be utilized as needed for patients requiring long term isolation. This allows patients to be safely isolated from others, but to have as normal an environment as possible.
