In order to avoid conflict of interest, the veterinarian should not be the seller's regular vet. Often both the owner and the seller are present during the pre-purchase exam. The buyer determines how in-depth the pre-purchase exam will become. This may include a full physical examination, lameness examination, under-saddle examination and/or radiographs.

The whole horse is considered during the in-depth analysis of the lameness. This includes the condition, conformation, abnormal stance, abnormal wear in the feet, lacerations and/or other physical abnormalities of the horse. The horse is then observed at the walk, trot and canter on hard and soft surfaces in a straight line and on a circle. The horse's limbs may be flexed or stressed to accentuate a lameness. An under-saddle examination can also be performed utilizing our indoor and outdoor riding arenas. Videography is used to analyze the horse's gait in further detail. At this point, further recommendations such as regional anesthesia, radiography, ultrasound, nuclear scintigraphy, MRI or CT will be made. MEC’s experienced diagnosticians, combined with advanced diagnostic imaging, ensures your horse the best chance for success. https://myhreequine.com/rehabilitation daily 0.75 2024-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1608075584751-44VRD0XGPJL0G21LFAR7/_DSC8643+club+foot+after+ligament+surgery+and+shoeing+%28C%29+Du.jpg Rehabilitation - Rehabilitation Boarding With our on property boarding facility, High Knoll Equestrian Center, we are able to keep horses requiring long term medical therapy or rehabilitation services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1607633197985-OE5FYO0AH7LY7IPHLW4Z/Gameready.png Rehabilitation - Game Ready™ Equine Game Ready is the secret weapon of top riders and veterinarians for preventing injury in their horses and speeding recovery from a multitude of ailments.

The camera is used to take images of the body as it is passes along the desired passage way. Upper and lower airway endoscopy involves examination of the pharyngeal regions, guttural pouches and trachea. Gastroscopy allows for evaluation of the esophagus, stomach and proximal duodenum (small intestine). Gastroscopy exams must be performed after the horse has fasted for a minimum period of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1635352916586-BZYOAXAND28Z41TG2MS0/_DSC9191+scoping+fungus+guteral+pouch+%28C%29+Dusty+Perin.jpg Internal Medicine - Isolation Our isolation facility is available to treat and house patients with contagious diseases or a suspected contagious disease. The isolation unit consists of two stalls in a barn located approximately ¼ mile from the main clinic. The stalls are under video monitoring as needed for watching patients closely. The unit is heated for winter months and cooled via fans in the summer. The unit is stocked with materials and medications to treat patients without the worry of contaminating the main barn and complex. One stall is equipped with a small in and out paddock to be utilized as needed for patients requiring long term isolation. This allows patients to be safely isolated from others, but to have as normal an environment as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1635349113264-CL4210BFDMF81N863XIQ/CB.JPG Internal Medicine https://myhreequine.com/diagnostic-imaging daily 0.75 2024-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1635350751409-650QF6ZQC7GWGQUUESZH/new+england+regional.JPG Diagnostic Imaging - New England Regional Veterinary Imaging Center Our imaging center is located at the Myhre Equine Clinic, where primary care veterinarians refer dogs, cats and other companion animals for advanced diagnostic imaging. Myhre Equine Clinic's state-of-the-art technology, previously available at only a few select hospitals in the country, affords New England veterinarians, horses, and companion animals diagnosis and treatment of the most elusive problems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1607633060984-QTQBV47JICD9EV42W4TR/Foot+radiograph.jpg Diagnostic Imaging - Advanced Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Myhre Equine Clinic has advanced imaging allowing us to be on the leading edge in diagnosing lameness problems. We utilize a wide array of non-invasive diagnostics, including modalities such as digital radiology, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Each of these techniques has advantages (and disadvantages) which make them useful for specific conditions. A consult is recommended to determine which modality will be appropriate for your horse's condition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1607632998867-4J2GAD40SDK7ISSXKJKI/MRI.png Diagnostic Imaging - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) MRI is an imaging modality that uses magnets, radio waves and specialized computer technology to compile images taken in various planes of a specific area of the body. MRI is a very safe modality that does not use any radiation. In equine medicine evaluation of the structures of the foot are limited by the hoof capsule. Radiographs can look at the bone, but ultrasound can not penetrate the hoof wall. MRI is the best modality to evaluate all the structures of the hoof, both soft tissue and bone. Horse size previously limited us on what could be evaluated via MRI. With new technology we are now able to perform studies on stifles, heads including brains and necks of full size horses. This is currently the only MRI in the northeastern United States which can routinely perform stifle MRI. Our MRI machine is able to perform imaging studies of the hoof either with standing sedation or under general anesthesia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1635350131215-QWMGEORTJCQU6BGJRFIU/ultrasound.JPG Diagnostic Imaging - Ultrasonography Using ultrasound to get a better image for tendon evaluation is a common technique in veterinary medicine. Using the same ultrasound techniques for evaluation of a joint to acquire more information about the soft tissues in a joint (capsule, synovial membrane, quality of the synovial fluid, quality of the cartilage) is a relatively new purpose. Ultrasound can produce an image of muscle properties and tendons and ligaments involved injuries. The MEC's ultrasound machine has special probes and frequencies that can produce a better resolution than the typical machine and allows us to analyze tissues such as joint capsules, tendons, ligaments, cartilage in joints, the menisci in the stifle, and attachments of ligaments and tendons on bone and muscles. MEC utilizes its Sonoace Pico ultrasound machine which transmits high-frequency sound pulses into the body using a probe. The sound waves travel into the body and hit a boundary between tissues (e.g. between fluid and soft tissue, soft tissue and bone). Some of the sound waves get reflected back to the probe, the image we see on the screen is then transmitted from the probe to the computer where the image is complied. The clearly defined two-dimensional image can be used to better visualize tendon and ligament injuries, muscle damage conditions affecting the joint and joint components (capsule, synovial membrane, quality of the synovial fluid, quality of the cartilage). Ultrasound can also be used to detect pregnancy, diagnose types of colic and detect foreign objects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1607632835046-FJQIQRX6XVP76K7BKG47/Radiograph.jpg Diagnostic Imaging - Digital Radiology Xray or more appropriately radiography is used after a clinical examination to diagnose any boney changes or remodeling including but not limited to arthritis and degenerativejoint disease (DJD), fractures, cysts, joint collapsing, Navicular Disease and laminitis. This technique produces a far more advanced image than a typical x-ray. A computer is utilized to enhance the x-ray (darken or lighten, change the contrast, enlarge it to focus on a specific area) which is very helpful in making a diagnosis MEC operates the MedLink imaging and Fugifilm system. Digital radiographs and ultrasounds are made right in our clinic, which decreases the length of time clients spend waiting for results. Images acquired with these techniques can be digitally stored in an electronic database for future reference. The information is also given to the client to take home along with information about the causes and prevention of lameness, and prescribed treatment for the client's horse. In most cases, appointments and consultation will be completed within 2-3 hours and the client will have all the results of any procedures performed on the horse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1608075529858-Q43QJ64GX4QDSSV7M25X/_DSC0565+bone+scan.JPG Diagnostic Imaging - Nuclear Medicine (Nuclear Scintigraphy) “Bone scan” allows for the evaluation of the equine musculoskeletal system. This modality has been well established over the past several decades. MEC's scintigraphy equipment (nuclear medicine) can localize increased bone activity or soft tissue inflammation almost anywhere in the body. This bone scan is the best means of identifying the source if a lameness problem is not obvious. It is the closest that we can get to having the horse tell us where the pain originates. Nuclear medicine uses radioactive substances to image the body and treat disease. Nuclear medicine looks at both the physiology (functioning) and the anatomy of the body in establishing diagnosis and treatment. Nuclear medicine (scintigraphy) imaging techniques give MEC doctors another way to look inside the equine body. It comprises diagnostic examinations that result in images of body anatomy and function. The images are developed based on the detection of energy emitted from a radioactive substance given to the horse intravenously. The techniques combine the use of computers, detectors, and radioactive substances. The nuclear medicine technologist operates MEC's new gamma camera which detects and maps the radioactive drug in a horse’s body to create diagnostic images. Injected radioactive substances do not harm the horse. The radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine decay quickly, in minutes to hours, have lower radiation levels than a typical X-ray or CT scan, and are eliminated in the urine or bowel movement. Most horses undergo a nuclear medicine examination because their primary care veterinarian has recommended it. Senior surgeon Dr. Grant Myhre, D.V.M., with specialized training in nuclear medicine, will interpret the images and forward a report to your veterinarian. It usually takes approximately one day to interpret and report. https://myhreequine.com/equine-surgery daily 0.75 2024-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1611090103373-VEUNPCGYKT9E04ZIU6DT/Arthroscopy.jpg Equine Surgery Dr. Myhre performing arthroscopic surgery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1611090032940-7L93S79FC9SLQBUTGWHS/Foal Equine Surgery https://myhreequine.com/home daily 1.0 2024-05-18 https://myhreequine.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-03-07 https://myhreequine.com/synovetin daily 0.75 2024-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/25b0dc0e-5547-43c4-be36-f46729df1058/Dog+Walking.jpg https://myhreequine.com/isopet daily 0.75 2024-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa49575d9bab0178d1a3621/1e8fa0d2-a87f-4f6a-85ea-d0d2ae325a64/Social+2024+Feb+15+Equine+.png https://myhreequine.com/myhre-equine-video-library daily 0.75 2024-03-04 https://myhreequine.com/myhre-equine-video-library/our-videos monthly 0.5 2026-02-25 https://myhreequine.com/myhre-equine-video-library/v/how-to-take-equine-vital-signs monthly 0.5 2026-02-25 https://myhreequine.com/myhre-equine-video-library/v/how-to-use-a-treatment-plate monthly 0.5 2024-04-16 https://myhreequine.com/myhre-equine-video-library/v/how-a-standing-hoof-mri-is-performed monthly 0.5 2026-02-25
