Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  We correct dental problems by floating, or filing down the sharp points of the tooth. Maintenance floats may be performed every 1-2 years as needed; however, if dental problems are severe, your horse may require more frequent corrective floating. Our dental services include dental examination, floating, and tooth extraction.
• Vaccination
  Because our facility is directly connected to the hospital, we can update vaccinations or provide any services your pet may need during their stay! For the safety of your pets, we do require that they are up to date on vaccinations (distemper, bordetella, and rabies) before their stay. If you receive your vaccinations elsewhere, please bring your records with you at the time of drop off or fax them to our office (785-243-7402).
• Nutritional Counseling
• Comprehensive Examination
  Our care is based on life stage (young, adult, or senior), lifestyle, and risk of exposure to infectious diseases. Through regular wellness exams, a customized health program can be set up for you and your pet.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Herd health consultations allow us to get to know your herd and needs. This is when we discuss and implement vaccination programs, parasite control, and other programs to prevent disease. A valid veterinary client patient relationship is necessary for completing veterinary feed directives (VFD) that will allow you to feed medicated products to your herd.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Thyroid Disease Treatment
• Periodontal Disease Treatment
  Periodontal disease is the most common condition seen in dogs and cats. 80% of dogs and cats have some form of dental disease by age 3.

Surgery

• Veterinary Surgery
  Over the years of practice, Dr Hobrock has continued to develop his keen interest in small animal orthopedics with numerous hours of continuing education and labs. His practice offers many orthopedic surgery procedures including the following: Cruciate ligament repairs (TPLO, lateral fabellar suture, closing wedge), bone plating, bone pinning, external skeletal fixation, and much more. Dr Hobrock also offers OFA exams and is certified for Penn HIP radiographs. The practice has made investments in high-quality radiology and surgical equipment to make these procedures easier.
• Spaying and Neutering
  Dr. Robért grew up in Hiawatha, KS where his interest in veterinary medicine began. He attended college at Kansas State University where he received his undergraduate degree in Animal Science in 2007 and a Masters degree in Veterinary Biomedical Science in 2010. His research entailed the evaluation of cattle behavior during different health scenarios such as lameness and respiratory diseases but also during varying surgical procedures such as castration and dehorning with the goal to improve animal husbandry practices.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  Our in-house laboratory equipment features state of the art IDEXX equipment. A complete blood count can be performed to evaluate overall health and detect a variety of disorders. Our blood chemistry machine will evaluate internal organ function and electrolyte levels. It can also perform thyroid evaluation, diabetic control monitoring, and progesterone testing for breeding. We also offer a variety of SNAP tests to screen for certain diseases and conditions.
• X-Ray
  Our new on-site digital radiography x-ray equipment allows us to utilize x-rays as an aid in diagnosing many disorders. This new digital system allows us to view films within seconds, without the use of a processor. The improved detail of the digital images allow us to form a more accurate and complete diagnosis. Since the images are digital, we have the ability to email the images to you or save them on a disk or external storage device. We have PENN HIP and OFA certification available as well.

General Pet Care

• Boarding
  Our boarding and grooming facility was added onto our hospital in 2015. The boarding and grooming area is located around the west side of the building and has a separate entrance from the hospital and their own phone number! Boarding appointments can be made by calling 785-243-2284.
