Lameness, respiratory, and cardiac diseases are the leading causes of poor or reduced performance in the equine athlete. Often, subtle abnormalities across multiple body systems can collectively contribute to performance loss, making the diagnostic process complex. A thorough examination of the musculoskeletal, respiratory, and cardiac systems is crucial to accurately identify the root cause.
At Ascot Equine Veterinarians, we provide a comprehensive and individualised diagnostic approach for each horse. Our assessments may include blood tests, lameness evaluations, upper airway endoscopy (at rest and during exercise), ECG, echocardiography, post exercise muscle enzyme analysis, bronchoalveolar lavage, and gastroscopy.
Our advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities – such as radiography, ultrasonography, and video endoscopy – are available both at our hospital and on-site at your facility. We also offer cutting-edge specialist tools, including overground dynamic endoscopy and echocardiography, ensuring we deliver precise, top-tier care.
