4224 ÔÇô Durham Equine - Icons_Vaccinations

Vaccinations

Providing vaccinations is a daily part of the job for our vets, and we strongly recommend vaccinating your horses against both equine influenza and tetanus. 

Influenza is commonly seen in the UK and can travel several kilometres through the air, and tetanus is caused by a bacteria that lives in the soil, so horses can be susceptible to both conditions even if they never leave the yard.

4224 ÔÇô Durham Equine - Icons_Dental care

Dental care

All of our vets are accomplished at carrying out routine dentistry for horses. 

Dental procedures can be carried out at your yard, and all horses are sedated in order to facilitate a thorough examination and treatment of the mouth. 

We recommend regular oral examinations (usually once a year) to ensure a healthy mouth and to address any minor problems before they become major.

4224 ÔÇô Durham Equine - Icons_Microchipping

Microchipping and equine passports

Equine passports have been compulsory since 2003, and as of 2020 all horses in England are required to be microchipped by law. 

We provide microchip and passporting services, and all of our vets hold a microchip scanner in their cars, so we can scan a horse at any time to check if they have been microchipped or not.

4224 ÔÇô Durham Equine - Icons_Minor ailments

Minor ailments

Our vets are on hand to help treat any minor ailments, no matter how big or small, from asthma to itchy skin. 

We make extensive use of digital and online technology to help monitor cases after they have been seen (e.g. videos of lame horses and picture updates of wounds). 

If you have any concerns about your horse, please don’t hesitate to contact us and organise a veterinary visit to help put your mind at ease.
