Have you signed up for our upcoming client evening?! ๐
Over half of the spaces have already been taken, leaving numbers even more limited.
Please call 01563 522701 to secure your space ๐
We can't wait to welcome you all to our first client evening at Syke Large Animal Clinic ๐คฉ
When our equine friends are in for lameness investigations, we employ the use of 'nerve blocking' where we inject local anaesthetic into a region of the lame leg to numb it. If the block improves the lameness, this helps us to identify the source of the lameness.
Whilst we do sometimes need to use restraint methods to achieve this safely, we try to make this procedure as pleasant as possible when we can and often a tasty lickit offered by the nurses & grooms is a very welcome distraction for our four legged patients - delicious! ๐คค๐ด
Specialist farrier Allan Ferrie works alongside our MBM vets and John Marshall of Thistle Equine to offer a referral farriery service out of our Syke large animal clinic ๐
This service allows Allan, your farrier & our vets to work together on orthopaedic cases using a combination of clinical examination pre & post shoeing, lameness assessment and X-rays as needed to ensure the horse's complex shoeing needs are met.
We are thrilled to offer this referral service out of our new large animal clinic and our vets continue to enjoy working closely with all our talented local farriers both on yard and in clinic for all your horses shoeing and trimming needs.
