Preventive Care

• Dental Care

• Veterinary Ophthalmology
  Dr Worley sees non-equine large animals only (no horses) and has special interest in emergency care, ophthalmology and neurology.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Behavior can be a huge indication of oral health problems. If your horse is experiencing dental problems, they can have bad breath, drop food, or have loss of appetite. They can also pack food in their cheeks, start to lose weight, or fight the bit during training.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Dr. Charlie Fahy is residency trained in large animal internal medicine and is skilled at diagnosing and treating patients using history, physical exam findings, and carefully selected diagnostics. They are experienced in treating and managing a variety of cases from chronic conditions to those needing emergency and critical care. In addition to horses and other equines, Dr. Fahy will see alpacas, llamas, goats, sheep and pigs if referred by your veterinarian.

Illness Treatment

  Routine fecal tests help our veterinarians advise the best deworming protocol for your horses. See our client resources for guidelines.

She has been with Sound Equine since 2010.
• Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
  Dr. Fahy earned BS degrees in Biology and Animal Science from the University of Findlay in Findlay, OH.

After their internship, Dr. Fahy completed a 3 year residency in Large Animal Internal Medicine at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, working with a variety of farm animals in addition to horses. Their interests and areas of expertise include emergency and critical care, neonatal medicine, respiratory disease, neurology, dentistry, and managing hospitalized patients.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Arthritis Treatment
  This is a therapy for equine joint disease that slows the progression of osteoarthritis by inhibiting factors that lead to cartilage breakdown. A2M is a molecule that is found naturally in the blood and has been found to help prevent cartilage breakdown.
