Large Animal Services in Cañon City, CO

Fourmile Veterinary Clinic is one of a few animal hospitals in the area to offer veterinary care for horses, cattle, and small ruminants, in addition to dogs and cats. Our facility is designed to make large animal care safe and effective, and many clients travel long distances to visit us. From routine wellness needs to diagnostics, dentistry, surgery, and farm calls, our team supports the health of your animals at every stage.

By utilizing digital x-ray, rather than traditional film x-ray, we are able to take higher quality images with fewer radiation exposures, making x-ray safer and more effective for your animal. We also have a portable x-ray machine, allowing us to perform radiology on farm calls.

Our facility is fully equipped for large animal surgery, with a padded surgery and recovery room for equine and small ruminants and an indoor head catch for bovine procedures. Just as with our small animal patients, we take every precaution to ensure the safety of the horses and livestock we treat. Your animal’s vitals will be closely monitored throughout surgery, and we will design an appropriate pain management plan to ensure your animal’s comfort following surgery.

Proper dental care for your horse is essential for their performance and health. Fourmile Veterinary Clinic offers comprehensive equine dentistry to keep your horse’s mouth in top condition. We utilize the PowerFloat system for professional dental care. We perform your horse’s dental care in our equine stocks, allowing for a comfortable and thorough exam and float.

We understand transporting large animals like horses and cattle is not easy. At Fourmile Veterinary Clinic, we perform farm calls when our clients lack convenient transportation to our hospital. Our ambulatory truck gives us the capability to provide routine care, emergency first aid, and some minor procedures from the comfort of your own facility.
