What to Expect:

Prior to your animal’s first visit, print and fill out the case history form so that Dr. Morgan can get to know more about your animal’s health history.

Have your animal ready for the appointment at the time it is slated to begin to be considerate of appointments after you and help keep us on schedule. When Dr. Morgan arrives for your equine appointment, please have your horse caught and ready to be evaluated. Please have your dog leashed for canine appointments. For feline appointments, please have your cat in a carrier or confined to a specific area of your home so you do not have to go search for them.

Every visit will begin with a brief history followed by posture and gait analysis of your animal. This will be followed by a neurologic assessment, such as reflexes, to see how your animal’s nervous system is functioning. Next, we will assess your animal for differences in muscle tone and movement fixations along the spine. Using all these different assessments, we will determine if there are any subluxations that need to be corrected with a chiropractic adjustment.
