Hospitalization ICU NICU Services

Hospitalization and Equine ICU and NICU Services at AAH

Intensive care, hospitalization, neonatal ICU, medical colics- They are some of the most dreaded words among horse owners. It may start with you noticing that your horse is acting a little strangely occasionally turning his head to look at his belly, kicking his back feet, sweating and acting anxious.  Or maybe your mare has difficulty foaling and gives birth to a weak foal unable to stand.  Or your horse steps on a nail and requires IV antibiotics for a serious foot infection.  With many emergencies in the horse world it is imperative that you act quickly. Taking action right away may be the difference between life and death for your horse.
