Iowa State University’s (ISU’s) Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center’s Equine Hospital is one of the state’s premier facilities which includes: an intensive care unit (ICU), isolation facility, general hospitalization wards, multiple examination rooms, and a climate controlled performance arena. We routinely work collaboratively with other large and small animal services including: equine surgery, equine theriogenology, farrier, equine ambulatory, equine internal medicine, small animal emergency & critical care, cardiology, dermatology and ophthalmology. Currently, the ISU LVMC is the process of expanding with a new addition for equine ICU, theriogenology, and equine rehabilitation. Current equipment includes, ultrasound machines, digital radiography, MRI, CT, endoscopy, and additional equipment for equine emergency and critical care.
The ISU LVMC serves the state of Iowa and adjacent states with boarded certified specialists in equine internal medicine (4), equine surgery (3), equine theriogenology (2), equine field services (3), and farriery (2). Faculty collaborate together to provide the best veterinary care possible to the patients and are actively involved in developing new methods for equine treatment and management.
