When your horse develops a sudden lameness issue, suffers an injury, or needs routine wellness care, you need an experienced equine veterinarian who can provide prompt, reliable care without the stress of hauling to a distant clinic. At Paradocs Animal Hospital, we provide mobile equine veterinary services throughout Locust Grove, Orange County, Fredericksburg, and Culpeper, delivering comprehensive care directly to your farm or barn.
Our equine veterinarians provide preventive care, diagnostics, lameness evaluations, dental floating, reproductive services, emergency care, and treatment for a wide range of conditions. For horses requiring advanced procedures, we also offer appointments at our farm clinic equipped with stocks and specialized equine equipment.
Mobile equine veterinary care allows horses to receive treatment in a familiar, lower-stress environment while reducing the challenges and risks associated with trailering. This is especially beneficial for emergencies, senior horses, horses recovering from injury, or animals that experience trailer anxiety.
Our mobile veterinary unit is equipped with diagnostic tools, medications, dental equipment, and treatment supplies needed to perform wellness exams, vaccinations, lameness evaluations, dental care, wound treatment, and emergency services on-site. Farm visits also allow our veterinarians to evaluate environmental factors such as footing, pasture conditions, nutrition, and herd management that may impact your horse’s health and performance.
Routine equine wellness care includes physical exams, vaccinations, Coggins testing, fecal testing, deworming programs, body condition evaluations, oral exams, and dental floating to support long-term health and performance.
We provide lameness evaluations, flexion testing, acupuncture, Class 4 laser therapy, reproductive services, pre-purchase exams, pregnancy checks, and breeding consultations to help diagnose problems and support your horse’s overall well-being.
Our team provides emergency equine veterinary care for colic, lacerations, choke, eye injuries, acute lameness, and other urgent conditions, along with on-farm and in-clinic surgical procedures including wound repair, castrations, and mass removals.
Yes. We respond to equine emergencies including colic, severe lacerations, choke, eye injuries, and acute lameness outside of regular business hours. Call our main number and follow the prompts for emergency assistance.
Most horses benefit from annual wellness exams and vaccinations, with dental floating needed every 6-12 months depending on age and dental wear patterns. Performance horses, geriatric horses, and those with chronic conditions may need more frequent visits.
