Surgery

Energy Equine is proud to announce our surgical facility is now open and accepting patients!
Meet Dr. Jase Skelton, DVM, MS
Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Surgeons (Large Animal)

The surgical arm of our practice is based out of Energy Equine in Airdrie, Alberta and is championed by Dr. Jase Skelton, a board-certified large animal surgeon. Dr. Skelton practiced as an associate surgeon in Texas before joining our practice in 2023. His experience as a surgeon in both surgical case management and high-level sports medicine makes him a well-rounded and excellent fit for Energy Equine.
