I currently have my horse “Armani” in Dr. Kaufman’s monthly maintenance program. He also does all his vaccinations, yearly power float and anything else we need. John Kaufman is a great all around Vet as well as a fantastic diagnostician when problems arise. He has the latest diagnostic equipment and continues to educate himself in emerging technologies and therapies. I highly recommend Dr. John Kaufman as one of the best equine practitioners in the Bay Area.
Comprehensive Examination
Buying a horse is an important decision, and an equine pre-purchase examination tailored to your horse's intended use is a critical tool for your decision.
Equine acupuncture and electroacupuncture therapy can be used to treat a range of disorders. While typically used to treat chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders such as lameness, it can be used to alleviate disorders involving digestion, respiration, as well as intestinal discorders (colic), and behavioral symptoms. Acupuncture involves putting thin needles in specific points (acupuncture points) on the body to treat issues or provide pain relief.
The decision to buy a horse is a big one, and an equine pre-purchase examination tailored to your horse's intended use is a critical tool to assist with your decision. Pre-purchase exams include a comprehensive physical exam, soundness exam, digital radiology, digital ultrasonography, routine blood work, drug screening, and possibly endoscopy.
X-Ray
With a fellowship in digital radiography and ultrasonography and state-of-the-art digital imaging equipment, Dr. Kaufman has made equine lameness evaluation a primary specialty of Redwood Equine Practice. Our equipment allows for the accurate evaluation of bone abnormalities and soft tissue injuries including arthritis, bone chips and tendon and ligament injuries. During the exam, digital images are portrayed instantly on a laptop computer so that you and the doctor can confer immediately.
