Ophthalmology
Our facilities and doctors are able to assist you with all of your equine ophthalmology needs. For the convenience of our clients and patients, we have the ability to consult directly with Dr. Martabano, a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist, to ensure the correct treatment plan is in place for your horse in instances where your horse cannot see Dr. Martabano right away. Dr. Martabano sees cases and performs surgeries at Littleton Equine once to twice monthly.

- Diagnosis and management of corneal ulcerations including placement of eye treatment systems
