These tests are especially important in emergency situations when the speedy return of blood tests matters most. Bucking Bull Expertise
Diagnostic Imaging
We are equipped with two overhead x-ray units as well as a portable unit. One overhead unit is located in the surgery suite and used for radiographic procedures requiring general anesthesia. The second unit is located in the radiology room. We use the Eklin digital radiography system, which allows for instant image visualization. We are equipped with two ultrasound machines to assist in the diagnosis of various conditions such as tendon and ligament injuries, pneumonia, umbilical infections, and abdominal pain as well as routine application for monitoring reproductive cycles and pregnancy in the cow.
Ultrasound is a valuable imaging tool for evaluating, diagnosing and monitoring healing of many different conditions. Endoscopy
The use of endoscopy allows the veterinarian to visualize areas inside the bovine from the nasal cavities down to the stomach. Our videoendoscope is equipped with a monitor that allows the client to watch the exam while it is occurring.
This is a helpful tool for client education as well as helping the owner gain a better understanding about the health of their livestock. Internal Medicine

Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been a helpful alternative treatment modality for some cases at EVH. Some of the things that can be treated with acupuncture include back pain, sore muscles, pain from osteoarthritis and nerve damage just to mention a few. Acupuncture has become a very useful tool in conjunction with traditional medicine or in some cases by itself. .
