 Centrally located in proximity to Indiana's two race tracks, the Centaur Equine Specialty Hospital is a world leader in cutting-edge healthcare for premier performance horses. The $8.8 million facility in Shelbyville is home to one of only five standing CT diagnostic imaging systems in the United States, an instrument that uses robotic arms to scan a standing horse. This eliminates the need for the patient to undergo general anesthesia. Looking at the bigger Midwest, this is the only machine of this kind. Basically takes the key parts out of a regular CT and combines them on two robotic arms. So we don't have the spatial limitation of a regular gantry anymore. Along with exclusive access to the standing CT, our patients receive the highest quality treatment, while also supporting equine research and education of future equine specialists. One of the most rewarding parts of our job is the opportunity to work directly with the clients and interact on a daily basis to help them reach their goals with their animals. And when they come up against some obstacle, whether it's a lameness or a respiratory issue or some other performance issue, being able to assist them and intervene in helping them achieve their goals and doing that with our very well-trained and skilled staff makes that job typically very seamless and rewarding at the end of the day. First time I brought her here and she had her surgery, she was here for several days and never once was I worried I knew she was in good hands, well taken care of. I'm very comfortable bringing my animals here. I know they're going to get personalized service, the best of care, obviously a talented experience staff. We're located 30 miles south east of Indianapolis at about 100 miles north of Louisville. For more information call 317-398-1980 or explore our services online at vet.purdue.edu slash equine.
