EquiVet QLD provides friendly and comprehensive veterinary services to horses based in North Brisbane

07/03/2025

It’s been a busy 48 hours with non-stop emergencies combined with cyclone prep 😮‍💨

As always… vets and vehicles are ready to go, as soon as it is safe to do so! 🚑

Our ponies have some large trees nearby their paddocks and stables. So we currently have a ‘Pony Hotel’ in part of our office…. Fully equipped with air conditioning, CCTV surveillance and a live-in vet on site. 🫣 (Chris knew it was here or the living room 😂).

Stay safe everyone 🌀

We would like to encourage all of our clients to be prepared, make sensible decisions and act ahead of time.

🚨Be Prepared🚨

- Please ensure your horse is in a safe environment. An open paddock with safe fencing, away from large trees and powerlines. Remove debris.

-If your paddock is known to flood or is at risk of flooding, please act NOW and move your horse! (There are evacuation centres available for horses). Please contact us if you require details.

- If you’re choosing to stable your horse, please ensure the building structure is safe with no large trees surrounding. Please also take into consideration whether your horse is used to being stabled (especially in intense (loud) weather conditions).

- Prepare fresh water (plus extra troughs/buckets) and ensure you have an adequate feed supply that is kept high and dry. Do not introduce new hay or feed during this high risk period.

- Remove rugs and halters: They can be dangerous in flood waters or if debris becomes entangled.

- Tag your horse’s mane with an identification tag (or tape). Have identification photos and your horse’s microchip details readily accessible.

- Ensure your first aid kit is stocked. We have our ‘flood first aid kits’ available if you require. 🩺

- Once safe, please monitor your horses for any wounds, swollen/closed or weeping eyes, colic symptoms or cellulitis (swollen limbs). Ensure new, fresh water and feed is provided.

🚑 While we hope you won’t need us… we will have a vet (Dr. Charlotte) on-call 24/7 for any emergencies that may arise.

* Amongst all the storm stress and preparation…. Here is calm and beautiful picture of our sweet Charlie, living his absolute best life. 🌈

What it looks like when you find a farrier who is equally excited about hoof balance and prevention of lameness as we are…. 🙌🏻 🤓 📚

We sit, we measure, we discuss, we plan…. and we also order Italian 🍝

Thank you CDS Professional Farrier Services. Love your work!

When your Vet Nurse has been trained so well in every aspect of the veterinary industry… She even knows to bring Donuts in on a Wednesday morning! 🙌🏻🍩

For those that know Chris and his pride of being a ‘gastroscope driver extraordinaire’… he handed over the reins this morning and let Georgia drive! 👏🏻

EquiVet QLD turns 4! 🎂 What an incredible 4 years it’s been and I couldn’t be more proud of the strong, loyal and supportive community we’ve created.

Our clients have become some of our closest friends and their horses are treated like part of our family… We wouldn’t have it any other way!

✨Exciting things to come…✨

- Amazing new Vets and Nurses joining our team. 👩🏽‍⚕️

- New facilities to allow hospitalisation of our patients 🏥🙌🏻

- Further investments in our equipment to insure all of our vehicles are equipped with a portable X-Ray, ultrasound, gastroscope, dental endoscope, portable dental stocks and diagnostic blood machines. This allows us to provide immediate care and appropriate treatment plans for our patients 🩻

- Lots of CPD (Continued Professional Development) courses to inspire our team and allow us to be up to date with the most recent equine medical & surgical advancements. 📚

- A continued 24/7 emergency service provided with compassion, expertise and critical care knowledge 🚑

Thank you for the continued support & trust in our team. We love being part of your journey and look forward to many more years to come.

Bring on an exciting 2025!

🎄Merry Christmas to all of our wonderful clients and their horses🎄

While we hope you don’t need us, Dr. Charlotte will be on call for any emergencies over the holidays 🚑.

We are much better dealing with emergencies, than we are trying to wrangle three ponies, two children and a dog for a photo on Christmas Eve! 📸 😅

22/11/2024

🚨We are working at full capacity & only have a small number of routine appointments available for the rest of 2024. If your horse is needing:

-Dental
-Vaccinations
-Gastroscope
-Lameness / Poor Performance Investigation

Please get in contact asap and we will do our best to accommodate.

As always, we have a vet on-call 24/7 for all emergency work 🚑.

Today we saw the best parts of the equine industry shine. Spending some of the day with clients who have become friends and cheering on one of our favourite people 🩷 Thank you to Northern Districts Hack & Dressage for hosting such a wonderful event.

We had a couple of hours off this morning & we decided to spend it running the Bridge to Brisbane 😅

Granted, when I signed us up for this, I had every thought that we would be able to train…. 🫣 However, all the emergency colics, chokes, stitch ups and our two young children had other plans for us!

We might be more lame than any horse we see tomorrow… and for all of our clients wondering… Yes, I beat Chris 🏃‍♀️💪🏻😂

One of our patients decided to party too hard on the weekend and ended up causing himself a severe laceration. 🫣

Luckily, we don’t party on the weekends & were available to attend quickly and suture him back together. His wound was closed with a three layer closure using absorbable suture material. A Penrose drain was also placed to facilitate wound drainage, minimise infection risk and reduce swelling/tension of the area.

He was the perfect patient, receiving a 5⭐️ review from his vet for his kind nature and tolerance of stable rest. 🙏🏼

“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life” - Mark Twain

Little Duckie was full of kisses. I was there the evening she was born and couldn’t be more proud of the beautiful, sweet yearling she’s becoming!

A busy & exhausting week, however, will never not appreciate that I get to to spend these long days with such incredible patients 🥰

When you’ve always secretly known your patient is a real life unicorn 🌈🦄 Sapphire making today’s appointment even more special ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

When you’ve managed to see… -6 ophthalmology cases 👀 -1 colic 💩 -2 foot/fetlock radiographs 🩻 -1 wound stitch up💉 Everyone is on the mend and you make it home in daylight! 🙏🏼

They may cost a small fortune to keep…🙈💸 But geeze it makes me happy to see our 25 & 35 year old horses looking so happy! 🌾 Krystal (on the right) has been in our family for 30+ years. One of the reasons why we get it, when you’re worried about one of your horses not being 100%. They are part of the family! 💜

Chris was happy to make a new little mate at a client’s house this week…🦜🙈
