Laser Therapy for Pets
Many times there are reasons that we need to make sure a production animal is provided with pain management, whether for a lameness, illness, or end of life care. Every situation will be evaluated on an individual basis and medication prescribed that will adhere to proper withdrawal times.
We also have a class four portable therapy laser available for use with injuries or lameness. This is very useful in acute and chronic injuries, especially seen in our show animals, where medications may not be the best option due to withdrawal times. It is a drug-free and surgery-free solution to pain management.
