Preventive Care

Dental Care
Resisting the bit. We perform both maintenance and corrective dentistry. If dental problems are severe, your horse may require more frequent corrective floating.
Vaccination
Can I request a particular doctor when I am making an appointment? Absolutely, however in urgent situations we recommend the first available doctor to avoid any delay in proper medical care. Also during vaccination clinics, a particular doctor is assigned to each day and location. If you wish to schedule your vaccination clinic with a particular doctor, you may need to be flexible on the date of your clinic appointment.
Nutritional Counseling
The combination of high stress, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, decreased pasture grazing, high concentrate diet, travel, and competition can lead to the formation of ulcers in horses. Common signs of gastric ulcers include decreased performance, colic, weight loss, and teeth grinding. To determine if a horse has ulcers, a 3 meter gastroscope is passed into the stomach so that the lining of the stomach walls may be evaluated. These horses are held off feed for 12 hours to ensure the stomach is completely empty.
Comprehensive Examination
A pre-purchase examination allows veterinarians and prospective buyers the opportunity to work together to find the right horse for the buyer. This service includes a thorough physical examination and extensive lameness evaluation. Diagnostic nerve blocks, radiographs, and ultrasound examinations may be performed as indicated. A complete write up of the pre-purchase examination and complimentary Coggins, health certificate, and insurance examination are provided to the prospective buyer.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Whether they are pets or production, goats, sheep, alpacas, and llamas are a growing part of our practice. Services we offer include preventative medicine (annual examination, immunizations, and deworming), regulatory medicine (disease testing and health certification), emergency medicine (trauma, dystocia, urinary obstruction, and bloat), and surgical services (elective and emergency). Let us be a part of your herd or flock health program.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
We consulted with Dr. Alexander Werner, a boarded veterinary dermatologist from Animal Dermatology Center in Los Angeles on this allergy cases. An alternative allergy testing that is thought to be more sensitive but run in conjunction with serum testing is intradermal testing.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive orthopedic treatment modality that uses high pressure waves that penetrate through the skin to deeper tissues including ligaments, tendons, their attachments, bones, and joints. These shock waves have been shown to stimulate new cell growth, improve circulation, reduce inflammation and pain while promoting healing. Common uses that have been proven successful include bowed tendons, suspensory ligament injuries, and osteoarthritis. The procedure can be done in the clinic or in the field. The horse will be lightly sedated, and transmission gel will be applied to the horse’s skin. The number of treatments and the interval at which these treatments are performed will be determined by the degree of injury.
Heart Disease Treatment
Our facility includes a hospital with a large treatment area, 2 treatment rooms (one equipped with equine stocks), 6 ICU/hospital stalls, a radiology suite, in-house laboratory, and pharmacy; 12 outdoor stalls; 4 grass paddocks; surgical facility with a fully padded induction/surgery/recovery suite equipped with gas anesthesia and ventilation, ECG, direct blood pressure monitoring and blood gas analysis, stocks for standing procedures, and 3 recovery stalls; 2 stall isolation facility; and fully equipped practice vehicles for ambulatory services. We also offer a drive-thru window for convenient check-in.

Wound and Fracture Care
Ultrasound is an excellent non-invasive diagnostic tool. We have both portable and in-hospital ultrasound machines that allow us to perform reproductive examinations, thoracic ultrasound to evaluate the lungs and heart, abdominal ultrasound to evaluate organs such as the liver, kidney and spleen, and lameness diagnosis such as tendon injury. Ultrasound can also be useful to locate foreign bodies such as wood splinters in puncture wounds and abscesses.

Veterinary Surgery
At Comstock Equine Hospital, we offer orthopedic, soft tissue, elective, laser, and ophthalmic surgical services performed by board certified veterinary surgeon Dr. Shane Miller and consulting board certified surgeon Dr. Russ Sakai. Each surgical patient is carefully monitored under anesthesia by a licensed veterinary technician and assisted during recovery to ensure the safety of the patient.
Laser Surgery
Laser surgery has become an extremely useful tool in the removal of sarcoids, skin tumors such as squamous cell carcinomas, and ablasion of tissue by the endoscope. Using the laser helps to minimize bleeding, swelling, and pain that can occur post-operatively.
Spaying and Neutering
Dr. Steve Damonte works with feedlots to provide herd health management. Some of his services include regulatory medicine (i.e. health certificates for shipping), brucellosis testing and vaccination, tuberculosis testing, reproductive services (bull BSEs, trichomoniasis testing, pregnancy check, and assisting with calving and dystocias), and minor surgical procedures such as castration and dehorning.

Laboratory Services
Our in-house laboratory allows fast results which can help our doctors more quickly diagnose a patient’s illness. Our services include complete blood counts (CBC), serum chemistry and electrolytes, Serum Amyloid A, I Stat blood gas, and Foal IgG SNAP tests. For all other diagnostic tests such as Coggins, virology and serology testing, culture and sensitivity, and tissue biopsies, samples are sent to outside diagnostic laboratories.
