Put your trust in our 24-hour equine vets
Our vets are fully equipped to handle any routine work or emergency as the need arises. We have a fully mobile digital x-ray system, portable ultrasound machine and portable endoscope. While routine appointments are available from Monday to Friday, our emergency services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Call the vet immediately
You should call our 24-hour equine vet immediately when your equine:
Lameness investigation
- Suffers from wound, even if minor if overlying a joint
- Shows signs of sudden lameness
- Suffers from respiratory distress
- Shows signs of colic
Feed supplements
There is an array of feed supplements now available online and in tack shops claiming to contain medicinal properties. It is advisable not to buy such products without your vet's consent as such products do not have legislation over their actual quality and content.
At Vectis Equine Vets, we stock quality optimal supplements, including hoof supplements, probiotics, joint supplements and tonics for horses recovering from illness or surgery. These supplements have been made to the same manufacturing standards as veterinary drugs and are of guaranteed quality and content.
