A horse is a horse of course!

A year or two ago now, Totally Vets responded to client suggestions to separate out our equine articles from Vetnotes, our primarily production animal oriented newsletter and to produce a separate publication for our equine clients - Vetnotes Equine & Lifestyle.

Although this remains the case, and many of you out there may not be that into horses, we did think that a quick reminder of what our awesome equine team can do may be in order ... so, for those of you that do have an ‘old nag that's good for nothing but dog tucker', a ‘paddock-pugging expensive kid's best friend', or even a ‘future Melbourne Cup Winner' around the place, you may be interested in what equine services Totally Vets currently offers. 

All of our large animal veterinarians are on hand and are capable equine general practitioners who can attend day-to-day ambulatory calls such as vaccinations, basic lameness, and blood sampling. They can also attend more urgent calls like accidents, wound stitch ups and colic when and if required, knowing that they have back-up from those Totally Vets veterinarians whose focus is almost solely on the horse.

Barry, Katie, Peg, Lucy or Joao may not always be immediately available because they're kept rather busy with more complex equine services such as:

  • Lameness examinations
  • Reproductive services (AI, pregnancy scanning etc)
  • Poor performance problems
  • Full dentistry services
  • Pre-purchase examinations
  • Nutritional advice
  • General health checks
  • and even clipping!!!

So don't hesitate to contact Totally Vets for advice and/or care when it comes to your horse(s)!  We have a hugely experienced, dedicated and friendly team ready to help if and when you need ...
