Surgical Services

Greenock Farm is a full service equine surgical and medical hospital. Our hospital provides the Southern Piedmont with the only major surgical/medical hospital for nearly 150 miles. The convenience of the hospital makes daily visitations possible and decreases transportation cost. Also when confronted with an emergency, the two or three additional hours required to reach a university could spell the difference between life and death. Our primary goal in any case whether it is a routine castration or colic surgery is a successful outcome. We want to accomplish this humanely and approach each case with the best interest of both the patient and owner in mind. We are equipped and trained to perform not only the routine soft tissue and orthopedic case but the emergency procedure as well whether it be colic surgery or the orthopedic catastrophe. Our anesthetic of choice is Sevoflurane gas. “Sevo” is very safe and predictable; we believe it’s the best on the market. We monitor our patient’s blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood gasses and oxygen saturation during each surgery. All of our surgical patients receive I.V. fluids. We don’t cut corners when it comes to surgery. By starting with a great staff, investing in a quality facility and equipment and providing appropriate monitoring of the patient while under anesthesia we increase the odds of a successful outcome.
