Bella Vista Vet

1/5

At Bella Vista Equine, we offer a full range of advanced diagnostic imaging to support accurate and efficient evaluation. Our veterinary trucks are equipped with ultrasound, wireless digital radiography, and endoscopy, allowing comprehensive imaging capabilities directly in the field.

All radiographs are available for immediate review and securely stored in the cloud following each exam. Our ultrasound technology enables detailed assessment of tendons, ligaments, and muscles to aid in lameness diagnosis, as well as reproductive and abdominal evaluations and ultrasound-guided procedures such as arthrocentesis and biopsies.

Our endoscopy equipment allows thorough examination of the upper airway and gastrointestinal tract, including the guttural pouches. All imaging services are fully mobile, ensuring your horse receives prompt and high-quality diagnostics wherever needed.

We also perform ultrasound-guided injections to precisely treat targeted areas. Imaging can be repeated over time to monitor healing and adjust treatment plans.
