Edited: it would seem the voicemail option isn't working either, sorry to anyone who may have tried us today. Please use any other option below to contact us tomorrow if needed.

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas and New Year's! We are experiencing some issues with our phone app and unfortunately support is still on their break till Monday (lucky ducks!). If you call our normal clinic number 8388 1200 and we don't answer, please leave us a voicemail and we will call back as soon as we can! You can also shoot us a text message to 0483 987 461, email us at [email protected] or send us a fb message. We apologise for any inconvenience!

5 REASONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WINDARRA PARK FOR ALL YOUR REPRO WORK THIS SEASON!

1️⃣ I have over a decade experience with dozens of satisfied clients and foals on the ground.
2️⃣ I have small arms AND a small step to stand on - meaning I can scan anything from Ponies to Shires!
3️⃣I am notoriously stubborn. If there is a problem, I will do the best I can to solve it.
4️⃣ I scan nights and weekends as needed. Sleep is overrated anyway.
5️⃣ I put my patients' welfare first. There is always hay and company and I won't lie, Disney love songs *may* get played.

Contact us today to inquire more about our services!

Say WHAAAT?

We are stoked to announce the launch of our fresh new mobile number for easy access and reach for all our clients 📱. Starting from, well, sometime last week (😆), our mobile number 0483 987 461 is in operation!!
We have taken this step to improve communications and offer another way of contacting us for NON-URGENT MATTERS. We are hoping this will make for a simpler way to stay in touch regarding patient updates, reminders, bookings, medication requests etc.

Similarly to our email and FB messenger options, we will monitor incoming messages daily and do our best to reply within a few hours. However, please keep in mind that we do not currently have a dedicated receptionist, so there will be some lag time in our correspondence, especially during busier periods. Please note this number is for sms/mms only, though if you call it you'll be able to leave voicemail as well.

For any URGENT matters (such as emergencies or same day appointments) please continue using our primary number ☎️ 8388 1200 as that is the most reliable way of contacting us during hours. Our after hours emergency pager number remains the preferred method of contact for after hours emergencies.

We are hoping this is a welcome service and are open to any feedback you may have as we start utilising it more.

𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞!
---------------------------
Meet the lovely Olga. At almost 38 years young, she is our oldest patient – and check out how fabulous she looks!! 😍 Olga is here to remind us all that age is but a number. Of course, aging brings with it certain conditions and increased incidence of some diseases. But on its own, is 𝘕𝘖𝘛 a reason for horses to be unwell, dull, or skinny.

Olga has had PPID (Equine Cushings) for almost 20 years (longer than I’ve been her vet!) and also lacks any functional teeth by now. Regular health checks, including blood testing and dental exams, ensure that she is well managed on her medication and special diet (and doesn’t have any mobile, painful or sharp teeth fragments that need removing!).

Olga’s condition is a true testament to her owner’s care and dedication, and we hope that she can serve as an example of how “but he/she is old” is no longer an acceptable excuse for older horses looking poorly.

If you have any concerns about your aging horse, or if it’s been a few years since their last veterinary assessment, please contact us! We do have a soft spot for our seniors and want to help you care and manage them as best as possible, so they can enjoy their twilight years in the joy and comfort they deserve ❤

The time has come to farewell Alex, as she moves on to pursue other interests outside the veterinary industry. Thank you Alex for all your help around the office and the care you provided to our clients and patients over the last year!

Today will be Alex's last day, so please be patient with us until we find a suitable person to fill her (somewhat big) shoes. Please note that in the interim, the office will not be consistently manned during our regular hours HOWEVER this will have no effect on our routine and emergency vet services, which will be available as usual.

Dear clients, how is it mid-July already?! After what has turned out to be quite a hectic year, I will be taking much needed leave for a week from Sunday July 21st until the 28th. Alex will be able to help with any phone or email inquiries or bookings during our normal office hours, but if you have an after hours emergency please call another local vet or Roseworthy Veterinary Hospital on 8313 1999.

Please note Alex will be working off-site so if you think you may need any medication refills or supplements can you please contact us tomorrow, THURSDAY July 18th to get these dispensed before the weekend.

We are hoping to have some very exciting news to share with you when I get back.... so stay tuned 😁
