Geriatric Care Profile
A Preventive Health Care Program

The WEC Geriatric Care Profile is recommended as a preventive measure for the early detection and implementation of a medical management plan for the changes associated with the aging process in older horses.

This Program aids in the early diagnosis of subtle changes by giving your Veterinarian a base line from which to compare test results. Early detection and appropriate medical treatment will extend the healthy and happy life span of your horse

We recommend our Geriatric Care Profiles for all horses over 14 years of age and have designed a program for your consideration.
