Surgery and Hospitalization
Napa Valley Equine offers surgery and hospitalization services. Our clinic features designated areas for exams, procedures, and specialized care.
Non-Critical Hospitalization
Our clinic consists of an examination and procedure area, a mare and foal stall, two hospitalization stalls, and a small ruminant stall. We are capable of hospitalizing patients who require non-intensive medical care, such as ophthalmic cases, wound and bandage management, laminitis patients, post-operative recovery, etc. For cases requiring overnight monitoring and treatments, we refer to UC Davis or Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center.
Our treatment includes:
- Wound management
- Ophthalmic cases
- Medical colic treatment
- Reproductive exams and Insemination
Minor Surgical Procedures
Surgical procedures such as castrations, wound repairs, enucleation, and dental extractions are commonly performed at our clinic by our on-staff veterinarians or a visiting surgeon from Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center. For this reason, we only provide scheduled surgical procedures.
We practice the following minor surgeries:
- Castration
- Enucleation
- Mass removal
- Muscle biopsy
- Wound repair
- Dental extractions
