Equine Veterinary Services
Practical care for horses in Brisbane, from routine health checks to investigating injuries and changes in performance.
Routine Health Checks
Regular examinations help you keep track of your horse’s general health and spot concerns early. A vet can check key signs, discuss changes in behaviour or condition, and advise on preventive care suited to your horse’s needs. Bring along any questions about daily care, work, or recent health changes so the visit can focus on what matters to you.
Lameness Assessments
A lameness assessment looks at how your horse moves and where discomfort may be coming from. Your vet will ask about the history of the problem and examine your horse, with further assessment guided by the findings. Share when the change started, how it affects work, and any recent injuries. This helps shape practical next steps.
Equine Dentistry
Dental care can help address problems that affect eating, comfort, and the way a horse accepts a bit. An examination lets the vet assess the mouth and discuss any signs you have noticed, such as dropping feed or resisting bridling. The right timing and follow-up depend on the horse’s age, condition, and findings at the visit.
Vaccinations
Vaccination advice depends on factors such as your horse’s age, health, travel, and contact with other horses. A vet can review its vaccination history and explain suitable options and timing. Keep any available records handy before the appointment. If you are planning to travel or attend an event, mention it when arranging care.
Pre-Purchase Exams
A pre-purchase examination provides information about a horse’s health and condition at the time of assessment. The examination can be arranged around the buyer’s intended use and questions. It is not a guarantee of future soundness, but the findings can help you make a more informed decision. Discuss the scope of the examination before booking.
Urgent Veterinary Care
Sudden illness or injury can need prompt veterinary attention. Contact the clinic to explain what has happened, when it began, and how your horse is behaving. The team can advise on the next steps and whether an urgent visit is appropriate. For immediate concerns, call rather than relying on an online enquiry, and follow the vet’s instructions.
