Hi Linda, I used Buck Hill Vet Service (Spencer, MA) for ultrasound
for mine. But I have only used it in checking for pregnancy, I have
never used it for any other method.
They are real thorough and I trust ultrasound. I have had it used
on my mare 4 times in the past 2 years, and the accuracy is great.
That is my only suggestion - good luck!

| A friend of mine had Chris Emery do ultrasound on a horses legs
as part of a pre-purchase exam. It cost $100 per leg but it was
worth it.....it picked up an abnormality in the sesamoid bones that
was not evident with regular xrays. She also used the ultrasound
on a lump the horse had on his neck (the vet had thought is was
from cribbing surgery), and it turned out to be a tumor. My friend
was extremely impressed with how thorough and knowledgeable Chris
was. Dr. Simenson, however, had to actually read the films and
give the official diagnosis but Chris' eye was well trained enough
to have picked out the problems before the vet gave the official
results.
Also, I used Dr. Gill once for an ultra sound for a preg test.

| Linda,
I think Dr. Prentiss in N.Andover just got an ultrasound
machine - a boarder at my barn has a mare with a leg injury
and she was waiting for him to get it. His hospital # is
617-682-9905.

| Linda...
Dr. Gill does do ultrasound. However, we have only had mares done
for pregnancy and it has been very accurate.
His number is 779-2867.
GOOD LUCK

| 469.7 | Thanks for the info! | MARX::FOX | | Mon Dec 21 1987 12:51 | 11 |
| Thanks for all the replies! I was asking about the ultrasound because
a friend of mine's horse has been diagnosed as having strained
suspensorys and it was suggested that the horse be rested for 3
months and then ultrasounded to check the progress. I figured I'd
help her out by finding out what I could about people who do
ultrasound, costs, methods, etc so all your info has been helpful!
Thanks again,
Linda

| 469.8 | experiences with ultrasound | MDVAX1::HILDEBRAND | | Thu Dec 31 1987 11:02 | 7 |
| I have an eleven year old American Saddlebred gelding which bowed
a tendon last spring. Even though I live in Missouri and can not
recommend a vet, I can tell you that the ultrasound told us exactly
the extent of the injury and when the horse could be put back in
training. It took no longer than five minutes and I had the results
back immediately. It was much better than continuing to work the
horse and have him reinjure it since he never appeared lame.

| Well, the bad news is that Chris Emery had a baby and no longer does
horses.
The good news is that Marty Simonson has the equipment and is starting
to do his own ultrasounds for lameness. Plus, he's cutting back on his
track business, so its easier to get him locally.
