| Routine Health Care |
At Western Counties Equine Clinic we firmly believe that prevention is better than cure and we offer a full range of preventative healthcare from routine vaccinations through regular dentistry and worming programs. Horses kept in different management routines and for different purposes obviously have differing requirements and we have the experience to advise on what worming and vaccination protocols are suitable for your particular situation. Older and geriatric horses and ponies have different requirements again regarding nutrition, dental care and specific supplementation and we can advise appropriately
We find the ideal time to discuss these routine healthcare issues is at annual appointments for vaccinations and teeth rasping.
When routine dentistry is neglected large overgrowths and oral ulceration can result
This advice and any necessary examinations is backed up by our in house laboratory offering routine blood profiles and worm egg counts as appropriate. |
