Dyffryn Tywi Equine Clinic

15/09/2023

On Wednesday 11th October we are trialing some new laboratory equipment which would enable us to run in house PCR testing for:
-Strangles ( not the serology blood test)
-Influenza
-Rhodococcus
-Equine Herpes Virus
This would mean we wouldn't have to send samples away to an external laboratory and same day results.

We would like to invite our clients for a gutteral pouch scope and flush to test for Strangles. We will perform the scope free of charge, however we do ask that you cover the cost of sedating your horse (depending on breed and temperament £35-£55 inc VAT) and the cost of the test (£30inc VAT).

You must be able to bring your horse to clinic on Wednesday the 11th October at a time we would alot.
We can only sample 5 horses so if interest is high we will pull names out of a hat on Monday 2nd October.

Please call the clinic with name, phone number and horse name to register an interest.

To all our lovely clients.
As many of you may already be aware, Philippa is going to be out of action for the next few weeks as she is going back into hospital.

As we only had two vets currently working we will now be down to just one vet.
We will therefore have to limit the number of routine calls booked in per day so that Lisa will be able to get round everyone and obviously be able for any emergencies that come in.

We would appreciate it if any routine work, e.g. vaccines, dentals etc, could come in to clinic if possible. This would of course save a visit charge.

We will endeavour to provide the best possible care to all our clients but your patience and understanding over the next few weeks would be very much appreciated.
