Your equine partner not feeling well? Here’s some simple signs to look for. First question usually we will always ask is “Have you taken a temp?” One of the most underrated tools to have in your first aid kit, or on hand is a digital thermometer.

Have questions, or concerns and need to make an appointment? Give the office a call at (760) 247-4226.
