Well-oiled machine of a facility!! Thank you Dr Cullen and Dr Henry for your amazing expertise, quick process of elimination, compassion for Duke and thorough explanation of aftercare. These two veterinarians know horses and do not waste your time OR MONEY when finding/resolving the issue. Thank you again! Hope to not have to see you two again (in this capacity) but if so, you two are who I’ll ask for.
