SERVICES
Surgical facilities are on site to ensure that a total diagnostic and treatment programme is available. Dental work is a speciality, both routine care and problem treatment. Other specialities include breeding work and artificial insemination can be provided using chilled, fresh or frozen semen.
The practice provides an up to date health service through investigative procedures which include:
ULTRASONOGRAPHY
We have a range of ultrasound equipment, some of which is portable allowing us to conduct this diagnostic technique away from the clinic. We commonly use ultrasonography to examine swellings, joints, tendons and ligaments as well as for gynaecology and cardiology examinations.
DIGITAL X-RAY
Radiography is a common diagnostic technique preferably used at the clinic. We have a portable digital x-ray machine allowing us the freedom to conduct radiography on visits when it is unsafe to travel to the clinic.
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION CENTRE
We are a BEVA approved artificial insemination (AI) centre. We are able to offer AI using fresh, chilled or frozen semen. Owing to our American barn stabling and individual turnout paddocks, we are able to offer clients the opportunity for their mare to stay with us during the AI process.
DENTISTRY
We perform equine dentistry on a daily basis either at the clinic or out on visits. All of our vets are proficient in carrying out dentistry. We can offer both manual rasping techniques as well as motorised techniques and sedation if required.
ENDOSCOPY AND VIDEO ENDOSCOPY
We use endoscopy to visualise internal regions of the horse such as the upper respiratory system, urinary tract and the oral cavity. The video endoscope allows us to see the images on a large screen. The endoscope is portable, allowing it to be used on visits if required.
LABORATORY
We have an onsite blood analyser allowing us to run samples in house and provide results promptly.
Our vets also carry portable blood machines for a specific blood test to check for inflammation. We offer a very popular in house worm egg count service supported with all year round help and advice as well as urine analysis, general microscopy and semen analysis.
24 HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICE
We offer a 24 hour 7 day a week emergency service to our registered clients, supported solely by our own veterinary team.
PRE-PURCHASE EXAMINATIONS
Pre-purchase examinations (vettings) are offered to both clients and non-clients either at the clinic or on a visit (distance dependent).
GASTROSCOPY
Gastroscopy is a procedure used to visualise the horse’s stomach to diagnose conditions such as Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome accurately. Images and videos of the stomach can be saved and used for comparison if follow up gastroscopy is required.
REMEDIAL FARRIERY
We work closely with local farriers to assist in all round care of our equine patients. We can offer diagnostic techniques such as radiography to be performed with your farrier present to assist with the foot balance and shoeing procedure both pre and post farriery sessions. We also have the ability to refer your horse to specialised farriers if required.
