Cardiac/Respiratory Wellness

An often overlooked cause of poor performance in horses is an abnormality within the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Dr. Michael Porter, with his extensive background and specialty training in equine internal medicine, leads the team at PHD Veterinary Services in identifying and treating these complex conditions. These issues may include exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (bleeder), inflammatory airway disease, heart murmur, cardiac arrhythmia, arytenoid hemiplegia (roarer syndrome), and others.

​

PHD Veterinary Services is well-equipped to provide comprehensive diagnostics, such as cardiac ultrasound, thoracic ultrasound, upper airway endoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage, electrocardiogram analysis, and more.
