Diseases of the Hoof

We offer a comprehensive approach to diseases of the foot. You’ve heard it said, “no foot, no horse”! That is why Dr. Meddleton takes a special interest in diseases of the foot and working together with farriers to keep your horse sound. Providing the X-ray overlay on a picture of the foot provides an incredible visual aid for corrective shoeing!

No Foot, No Horse

From acute issues like abscesses and laminitis to long-term issues like club feet and corrective shoeing, we are dedicated to working with you, your horse, and your farrier to keep your horse sound at his base.

It’s A Team Effort

Most foot issues require a team working together and communicating effectively: the vet, the horse owner, possibly the trainer, and the farrier. Dr. Meddleton encourages the experts in the field to elevate & foster a working communication between vet and

farrier. We often examine cases together, taking pre and post radiographs to assess the effectiveness of various corrective shoeing techniques.
