Following excellent uptake of our zone visits on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, we would like to remind you to continue to take advantage of this service offering a reduced visit cost.

The visit cost on these days in the areas seen in the picture will be £15 (including VAT).

The purpose of zone visits will be to provide a cost-effective option for local horse owners to have routine treatments and check-ups carried out on their horses. This will include procedures such as vaccinations, dental examinations and routine dental treatments, bandage changes and prescription checks.

Zone visits will need to be booked within 48hrs of the day of the required visit. You will be given either a morning or afternoon appointment and will be expected to be available for the duration of the morning (09:00-13:00) or afternoon (13:00-17:00). The Vet will then give you a call when they are around 30 minutes away.

These visits will require prior payment or payment on the day of the visit.

Solway Equine Vets is proud to be able to offer a wide range of mobile diagnostics. We currently have the ability to perform X-rays, ultrasound scans and endoscopy on the road.

Diagnostic equipment includes:

· Portable digital X-ray machine – This allows us to take X-rays at your yard and view them stable-side. This will often allow for a assessment of image quality and clinical interpretation to be carried out at the time of the examination. Occasionally with more complicated cases we may need more time to interpret these or to get a second opinion from a colleague/specialist. Our X-ray machine has so far proven itself to be extremely useful in a variety of situations including the investigation of poor performance, dental and laminitis cases.

· Ultrasound Scanner – This machine can be set up at your yard and is used to assess tendon and ligament injuries most commonly. It can also be used to in wound/abscess cases where contamination with a foreign body is suspected. Most of the time interpretation will be carried out at the time of the examination but should a second opinion be required we can take still images of the scan to be viewed after the examination has been completed.

· Wireless Respiratory Endoscope – Should your horse be experiencing breathing issues for example making an unusual noise at exercise or showing signs of laboured breathing/coughing this can be investigated at your yard using our portable endoscope. Diagnostic samples can also be taken using this piece of equipment should they be required for submission to a laboratory.

· Gastroscope – Through our association with Equine Clinic and Vets, we are able to offer gastroscopy at you yard. If you suspect your horse may have gastric ulcers it is always worth considering having them scoped. Even if this is to rule ulcers out as a cause of discomfort/behavioural change. This service is one which needs to be organised in advance so that the availability of a gastroscope can be confirmed and booked out on the diary.

If you would be interested in taking advantage of any of the services listed or you have any general enquiries about what Solway Equine Vets can offer you and your horse please contact the office on 01697325010.

⭐Chat With The Vet⭐ This week, Patrick talks about lameness.

5 Tops Tips to manage the risk of laminitis 1. Minimise grazing, dry, hot weather will mean the sugars are higher in the grass, even though there is not an abundance of grass. If possible, create a paradise track for your horses, Horse and Hound recently published an article on creating this system, for more information, click here. 2. Keep an eye on Body Condition Score, there is lots of information on how to assess BCS - check out the Laminitis Site, which provides videos on how to correctly identify BCS, and speak with your vet or nutritionist for guidance on how to control weight. 3. Minimise hard footing for your horse, reduce time spent on hard ground by placing rubber mats in walkways, gate areas, and introduce bark on hard areas in the field, as this will help to reduce the concussive forces on the limbs. Not all laminitis cases are due to ponies being overweight; some are seen in the summer months as a result of concussion, which traumatises the sensitive laminae. 4. Feet - ensure regular trimming to keep feet healthy and balanced, and work with your farrier to monitor and look after feet. 5. Has the cause of the laminitis been correctly identified? Or is it Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) or Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction? The Laminitis Site has information on testing for these hormonal imbalance. If in doubt, speak with your vet.
