Feature Case:

J.R. and his owner, Joan Lucas, had been fighting sarcoids, a frustratingly persistent type of viral skin tumor for a number of years. With collaboration between 3M and the University of Minnesota veterinary dermatologists and surgeons, J.R. is now sarcoid free and a new treatment for equine sarcoids is showing promise for many other horses. Learn more about J.R.'s progress and new treatment options.

Feature Service:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
involves the use of fiberoptic scopes and lasers to perform complex surgical procedures through very small incisions. As a result, horses are more comfortable and are able to return to work much more quickly. The Equine Clinical Services continue to expand their services in laparoscopy, arthroscopy, and endoscopy. Learn more about how these approaches can benefit you and your horse
