• Computerized Digital Radiography - This high tech, high quality digital imaging system has been a wonderful addition to the practice. The radiograph is taken in the regular way, but then processed on site and " prints" on the laptop screen for viewing in under one minute.

  It is truly a remarkable system and you will find it of great benefit when radiographs are necessary for your horse. It can be used for prepurchase exams, lameness, founder (angles can be calculated/the blacksmith can work with Dr. Best at the same time the films are taken) and views of the head to check dental problems/sinuses etc. come out beautifully!

• Purchase Examinations – It is best if both the buyer and seller or their agents are present for the exam so that any questions or individual concerns may be properly addressed.

• Care for the Sick or Injured Horse – Whether you require colic examinations and treatment including intravenous fluid therapy, respiratory tract evaluation (endoscopy, tracheal wash, etc.), ophthalmologic examination, new foal exams or laceration repair, Royalton Veterinary Services is able to provide care in an ambulatory setting to your horse.
