Respiratory Surgery
Upper respiratory tract conditions are a common cause of poor performance in the equine athlete.
The Oakey Veterinary Hospital offers the latest in surgical therapies for the treatment of dynamic respiratory diseases such as laryngeal hemiplegia (roarers), dorsal displacement of the soft palate and epiglottic entrapment. Surgical management of other areas of the respiratory tract, such as the sinuses or guttural pouch are also performed for treatment of tumours, congenital cysts and sinodental disease.
