Have you scheduled your horse's dental appointment yet? 🦷🐴

Now is the ideal time, as we are offering a 10% discount on all equine dental procedures performed in March!

Regular dental prevention care is essential for maintaining your horse’s health. Horses rely on their teeth to efficiently process their plant-based diet. If their dental function is compromised, it can hinder their ability to eat properly, jeopardizing their overall wellbeing. Unlike human teeth, a horse’s teeth continuously erupt throughout its life, which helps counteract the wear caused by constant grazing. However, if the teeth do not wear down evenly, dental issues may arise. Therefore, it is imperative that horses receive regular dental care and preventive treatments throughout their lives.

Further discounts apply if you can bring your horse to us!
Locations:
🔹31 Fassifern St, Peak Crossing
🔹236 Munbilla Rd, Kalbar
Alternatively, our mobile horse crush is fully equipped with everything required to thoroughly care for your horse's dental needs at your property.

Call the clinic on (07)54672277 to book in. We have limited spots remaining!⚠️

Hendra virus infection results in a rare yet often fatal disease in both horses and humans. Anywhere bats/flying foxes can live, so can Hendra virus🦠🥺

Hendra virus poses a risk to horses across all mainland states. Flying foxes are the natural host for the virus, with horses contracting the infection primarily through exposure to bat bodily fluids, particularly urine. Subsequently, humans and, on rare occasions, dogs can become infected through contact with the bodily fluids of infected horses.

Incidents of Hendra virus infection in horses have been documented in New South Wales and Queensland. As the range of flying foxes continues to expand, the geographic risk of Hendra virus transmission also increases.🗺️

Vaccinating your horse with Equivac® HeV is a highly effective way to protect both horses and humans against Hendra virus.💉

Equivac HeV must be administered by a Vet, and horses must be microchipped to enable us to enter the vaccination into a national register.👨🏼‍⚕️👩🏼‍⚕️

❕ GASTROSCOPY DAY ❕

🔜 Tuesday, February 18th, 2025

Gastric ulcers are lesions found in the mucosa of a horse's stomach, which can vary in size, number, and severity. These ulcers develop when the physiochemical barrier that typically protects the stomach tissue is compromised due to prolonged exposure to stomach acid.
Gastric ulcers are relatively common, with estimates suggesting that 50-90% of horses experience gastric ulceration. 🤯
The only dependable method to diagnose gastric ulcers is through a Gastroscopy.

The scoping day will take place at Luucan Equine Rehabilitation and Breeding Centre, located at:
236 Munbilla Road, Kalbar, 4309.

Appointments will start at 9 am, with each session lasting half an hour per horse.
The cost for the scoping procedure is $150.00 per horse.
This fee includes sedation, the gastroscope, and video recording.

Overnight stabling at Luucan is available for $44.00 per horse. Please inform our staff at the time of booking if you need this service. 🐴

Full payment is required at the time of booking and is non-refundable.

For inquiries, please contact the clinic at 54672277 📞
