Laser surgery is the simplest and most cost effective way of removing sarcoids and melanomas. If you suspect your horse may have a sarcoid, please call the office to request a consultation with one of our vets.

Laparoscopic castration for a retained abdominal testicle - performed at Tower Equine by visiting surgeon Safia Baraksai Equine Surgical Referrals.

This keyhole surgery for "rigs" avoids the risks and cost of a general anaesthetic. Fortunately most colts have two descended testicles and can be castrated using a simple standing technique, done either at home or at the practice. Colder weather means now is the ideal time for castrating weanlings and older colts. Please ring the practice for our very reasonable charges.
