Travelling medicine service
Our ambulatory team has access to portable specialist medicine equipment.
In situations where your horse can’t travel, one of our medicine specialists can come to your yard for procedures such as gastroscopy (to investigate for gastric ulcers and colic) echocardiography (heart scan), ECG (to investigate heart murmurs and irregular heart rhythm), abdominal ultrasound (to investigate colic, liver or kidney disease) airway endoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (lung wash to investigate equine asthma/cough etc).
If you have been referred to our practice by your referral vet, we will collaborate fully with your vet to allow for the best possible treatment options for your horse.
