Tierärztliche Praxis für Pferde

The best vet we've ever had. I would call Dr. Fiorito for any problem without hesitation. He's simply fantastic, both personally and professionally 👍 My mare, after a six-month forced break following a pasture accident (electric fence around her hind leg), is back to her old self, pulling the carriage like a dream!!!! Thank you so, so much!!!!!!

This man is a disaster. My mare had several unrelated symptoms. So we started looking for the cause at the front and ended up back again. First, his colleague came. She's very empathetic and helpful. Eventually, based on different movement patterns, we suspected it might be bone spavin. So, we had to take x-rays. Fiorito had to come along too. Not only does the man not know what academic anatomical riding is, but he also apparently has an "X-ray vision" that he charges a premium for. Without even looking at the x-rays, he diagnosed a bilateral suspensory ligament injury, saying the horse wouldn't last another four weeks (spoiler alert: that was a year ago, and the pony is now happily trotting around the pasture), and that painkillers weren't even necessary. So there I was, standing in tears, while he accused me of having ruined my animal and told me I should just accept it. I was left standing there with a horse that was clearly in pain, and I received absolutely no help because "there's nothing more we can do now anyway." A week later, the same horse had colic. Friday evening. No one else was available, so I had no choice but to call him. At the farm, I was greeted with "Great, that's not how I imagined my Friday evening." He then tied one of the injured hind legs to the horse's neck with a rope. She nearly jumped upside down in panic. But whatever, there's nothing more we can do anyway 😉 Two weeks later, I had a different vet come out. I received a proper diagnosis with a sensible explanation. Initially, it was more serious than I had thought, but it was information I could work with. What the good man forgot to mention: it's a Friesian. 19 years old. Due to age and anatomy, the tendons and ligaments have stretched. The resulting overextension means that both front sides of the hind legs are almost completely straight. Yes, she's retired and yes, she'll never be rideable again. Nevertheless, she has value and deserves a comfortable retirement. With regular osteopathy and sensible groundwork, she's now, a year later, completely pain-free. In most cases, something can still be done. Best regards

Even in difficult situations, she is very competent and sensitive in her handling of both horse and owner. My 34-year-old mare had colic, and thanks to the friendly veterinarian, who was always quick to respond to my calls, she is now well again. She performed several nasogastric tube flushes, explaining each step clearly and working very carefully and conscientiously. I am very happy and satisfied with the vet and the practice. Even later, when she had her teeth rasped, everything went perfectly. The only slight drawback of the practice could be its accessibility.

Lio Fiorito is my trusted veterinarian. I've owned horses for 30 years, and he's been my vet for them ever since. He always explains everything clearly, is always available to answer questions, and never gets flustered. Five stars aren't enough.

For me, there's no better vet for my mare. I always get appointments promptly, which are reliably and punctually kept (otherwise, he calls me). His handling of my very special and anxious mare is/was absolutely exemplary. He is very empathetic and always checked in on my mare while she was at the clinic (he even arranged everything with the clinic beforehand on his own initiative). I have absolutely nothing to complain about!
