Equine Surgery

When Your Horse Requires Surgery, Experience, Advanced Technology, and Compassionate Care Matter 

At San Antonio Equine Hospital, we understand that the decision to pursue surgery for your horse can feel overwhelming. Our team is committed to providing exceptional surgical care with a focus on patient safety, comfort, and successful outcomes. 

We are proud to offer a fully equipped surgical facility featuring gas anesthesia, an advanced anesthetic option that allows our veterinary team to precisely monitor and adjust your horse's anesthetic depth throughout a procedure. This level of control helps improve patient safety and supports a smooth recovery process. 

Whether your horse requires a routine surgical procedure or a complex intervention, Dr. Stokes and our experienced veterinary team utilize modern surgical techniques, advanced monitoring equipment, and individualized anesthetic protocols tailored to each patient. 

From the initial consultation and pre-operative evaluation through surgery, hospitalization, and recovery, we provide comprehensive care every step of the way.
