Sarah D. In April 2019, our OTTB suffered two bowed tendons to her left front leg. We brought her to Davie County Large Animal Hospital immediately and she was seen by Dr. Castro.

After staying overnight, Ellee was released... read more with a plan of action for recovery. We opted to do PRP therapy which Dr. Castro and his staff did over the course of three months.

A huge Thank You to Dr. Jose Castro at Davie County Large Animal Clinic, his technicians and the entire staff. My cutting horse spiked a high fever with an infection of unknown origin. Dr. Castro and staff saw us after hours and started treating her immediately. He sent blood tests off repeatedly until we had a name for what we... read more were treating. The diagnosis was Potomac Horse Fever which has about a 40% mortality rate and relatively unheard of in NC. Fortunately Dr Castro had been extremely aggressive in treating her and he stayed in contact with me every day checking her status. His proactive treatments and what I consider to be cutting edge variety of medications saved my mare. I will be taking her back to the cutting pen this year thanks to Dr Castro and his wonderful staff! This mare is my heart I can’t imagine losing her. read less
