Equine Podiatry

A service devoted to the specialized care and treatment of complicated hoof problems that is performed by a veterinarian who is also a farrier.

Overview

NCSU is proud to offer the services of a dedicated veterinarian podiatrist to help achieve optimal hoof health for your horse.  We are happy to schedule and provide:

  • an appointment directly with a client/owner
  • a referral from a veterinarian or farrier
  • an in-depth remote consultation with a veterinarian or farrier when a client is unable to bring their horse in to the hospital

If coming to NCSU, our podiatrist is also able to consult with our Equine Lameness, Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation services if necessary and utilize the additional diagnostic and surgical resources available here.

As an alumni of NCSU CVM, Dr. Radkin, has not only experienced the benefits of graduating from our esteemed veterinary program, but she has also developed excellent working relationships with our faculty along with many of the veterinarians and farriers in North Carolina and beyond.  This team-based work flow provides a wonderful resource to treat some of the most troubling diseases in the horse.  As the historic adage states, “no hoof, no horse” and Dr. Radkin is committed to getting you or your client’s horse feeling their best. Whether a close member of the family or a valued sport horse with more performances in their future, or both, we would love the opportunity to be a part of their healthcare team.
