In-house Pharmacy & PrescriptionsOur pharmacy carries a wide variety of antibiotics, vaccines, and products for your equine friend, but we don't carry them all. If there's a needed antibiotic, additive, or product we do not carry, we can send you with a prescription to Heartland Vet Supply, a fully stocked veterinary pharmacy located on the north end of Hastings.

Electronic Coggins & CVI's
A Coggins Test is a blood test ran to detect EIA(Equine Infectious Anemia). EIA is a potentially fatal blood-borne infectious viral disease that produces a persistent infection in equines world wide. Accessing the proper paperwork has never been easier. We offer digital coggins that you can access anytime. Because they're digital, result turn around time is much faster than before. Using the service My Vet Link, you can create a log in and password and be able to see and print results anytime you need them.
CVI's (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection), or commonly known as Health papers, are an inspection of your animal(s) to check for any skin lesions, deformities, or infections that may be transmissible to other animals. These certificates are needed to cross state lines and attend most shows/events. They are also accessed through My Vet Link. You can access CVI's and Coggins or create a profile at www.myvetlink.com |
Hospitalization & Intensive CareFor those cases that involve a little more care, we do have the ability to hospitalize your animal if necessary. Often times reasons for an extended stay would be a severe colic which may require IV fluids and pain management, an intense laceration that would need bandage changes and/or hydrotherapy, or an injury that needs extra care that the owner may not be able to consistently provide such as an eye ulcer or a hoof injury that needs kept clean and dry. We have one indoor stall, and two outdoor stalls available to treat common maladies for short or long term stays.
