😁What an incredible night we had last night at our Strangles talk, in collaboration with Perth Equine Vets LTD and Thrums Vets Equine.

💉 We are so proud to be working together in such a proactive way, for the benefit of the horses in our area - it’s much better to be proactive than manage an outbreak.

Thank you to everyone who came along, we’ve seen some brilliant feedback on Facebook, including: “Thank you so much Loch Leven Equine Practice for a very informative talk tonight about Strangles, I totally agree this new vaccination is a game changer. I will be contacting the practice on Monday to arrange for my girls to be vaccinated.”

📆 If you’re a client of LLEP you can request an appointment here: https://lochlevenequine.co.uk/request-an-appointment/ and one of our team will get back to you on Monday.

➡️If you’re registered with Perth Equine Vets or Thrums Vets Equine their lovely teams will be happy to arrange to see you. Please contact them to make an appointment.

Thank you to Dechra for sponsoring this evening - it’s really important to be able to share, education and come together for the horses in our care 💙

💉Are your vaccinations up to date?💉
📅We do send out reminders to our clients, but if you are heading away on holiday or entering an important competition, it is a good idea to check that your renewal date doesn’t fall at an inconvenient time.

💉If you're interested in the Strangle vaccine then unlike the old live vaccine, this new vaccine can be given at the same time as your horse’s flu, tetanus and herpes
vaccines.

📞Request an appointment here: https://lochlevenequine.co.uk/request-an-appointment/ or call us on 01577 841010.

💙Remember that if you are a Healthy Horse Club member then your flu/tetanus is included as part of your plan.

🛻The RCVS provides clear guidelines for practices to ensure we can respond and get to emergency calls within a reasonable timeframe.

🐴As horse owners ourselves we understand how stressful it can be waiting for the vet to arrive when your horse is in pain or unwell. When we set out our catchment area this was at the forefront of our minds and still influences our decision as to how far we will travel for first opinion clients.

📍We cover Central Scotland from the Northwest of Edinburgh, up to the North of Perth, West over to Gleneagles and Auchterarder and East to St Andrews. Our West hand boundary is just west of Stirling.

💙We do however welcome referral and second opinion cases from all over Scotland - working with your own vets to ensure a collaborative approach.
📍We are situated 1 mile from J5 of the M90, so really easy to access as well.

🐴We asked our Healthy Horse Club Members what they love about the HHC, the majority who answered said spreading the cost of their horse’s annual routine care whilst saving money is so beneficial.

“The monthly payments take a lot of worry away and it also helps you keep on track with worming.”

💙How many people does it take to do a GREAT job at world class equine X-rays??☢

5: 1 vet with advanced expertise who trains other vets, 1 x experienced vet to discuss approach and findings, 1 x qualified Equine RVN, 1 x experienced equine hospital groom… oh and a beautiful youngster (yes he’s a person, all of our patients are), a state of the art X-ray machine in a safe space and a headrest for a comfy snooze whilst we do that.

💙And all of this doesn't cost any extra - it's just what we do.💙

Reassuringly Loch Leven Equine Practice.

🎙NEW podcast Episode🎙
💉With the launch of a new vaccination that has the potential to eradicate strangles we sat down with Hugh Somerville MRCVS to ask him all about the new vaccine.💉

🐴We discuss how it is different to the previous one, how often it needs to be given, which horses can have it, any potential side effects and whether it has the potential to remove the need for pre-movement blood testings.

🛻What can we do at your yard?🧐
✅✅More than you might think.

Veterinary technology has moved on at an incredible rate over the last decade and having up-to-date equipment means we can carry out many diagnostics at your yard. Not only do you not have to travel, but it also means your horse is usually more relaxed and easier to treat in their home environment.
