Gereral Elective
Surgical services include arthroscopy, general orthopedics, soft tissue surgery, dental surgery and a full range of routine and emergency procedures. Both Dr. Fleck and Dr. Engelbert have extensive surgical experience and training and generally perform surgery together.

Anesthesia is achieved with inhaled gases and controlled positive ventilation with heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and oxygen levels monitored to ensure patient safety. The surgery suite includes a separate padded induction and recovery room. Fractures, colic, breeding/foaling problems and respiratory issues frequently require surgical intervention and are routinely addressed by our doctors and staff.

Arthroscopy allows for minimally invasive joint surgery, thus limiting post-operative complications. The diode laser has a flexible fiber that can be threaded through the endoscope which allows arthroscopic surgery to be done on a standing animal without a large skin incision. The diode laser can also destroy large airway tumors and fuse certain joints when needed.

CO2 and Diode Lasers are used for a variety of therapeutic purposes, effectively treating skin tumors, assorted wounds, and tissue granulation. The laser seals lymphatic and nerves, which means incisions are clean and generally bloodless, with less pain and swelling.

Laboratory Services
Our in-house laboratory rivals a human hospital in its capabilities. Blood counts looking for infections, chemistries examining internal organ functions, electrolyte values, cultures of body fluids, semen evaluations (counts, morphology, viability, culture) are some of what can be done quickly and correctly.
