The new hospital build in Cowbridge is in full swing, and as we head towards our expected opening in January 2025, we thought a little tour might be in order, so you can see how we are progressing.

Without further ado, let’s hand over to our roving reporter James, who takes the mantle on this.

*Attention all clients*

Please note that there has been a confirmed case of equine flu found in the Rhondda Cynon Taf area. This is the first confirmed case in Wales for quite some time.

We would like to reiterate the importance of immunisation to avoid any further cases. Flu spreads rapidly over large areas and vaccination is the only way to protect your horse.

Boosting an overdue, but previously vaccinated horse will provide protection within a few days. Starting a course on a horse that has never been vaccinated will give some protection after the first vaccine, but full protection will not be achieved until the second vaccination is given 3-6 weeks after the first. Fully vaccinated horses are at minimal risk.

Please check your passports and call us on 01834 860871 should you require a vaccination. If you have any queries, questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Many thanks

That Friday feeling. When you find out your colleague has had her work visa approved and is here to stay… Suffice to say that the team in Swansea, both two-, and four-legged, are a little bit pleased 😄.

Obviously expecting similar joyous scenes from the on call squad for the weekend later. 😉

Ilaria in Swansea, Theresa in Pembs and Eliza in Cowbridge will all be here to help make your weekend as seamless as possible.

Please call 01834 860871 should you need them, and as ever, please do not call the Vet directly.

Happy Friday all.

Taking time out to volunteer for The BEVA (British Equine Veterinary Association) Trust for an education and castration welfare clinic at the beginning of October were James, Eliza and Nikita.

They joined a number of other volunteer Vets to help work though cases to provide health checks, passports, castration and dental checks (if required) to horses identified as in "need”.

Supported by staff from the BHS, Bransby Horses, World Horse Welfare and other welfare charities, the clinics are run across the country and have so far helped more than 1500 horses since its inception with volunteer Vets, Nurses, Students and Farriers all giving up their time to help those who need it most.

It was a busy but successful day with 32 horses seen - but all three enjoyed it. Well done Team!

We have received lots of enquiries regarding Equine Herpes Virus (EHV) and vaccination, so wanted to share some helpful information for our clients.

Please click on the link to our website for more detail on EHV, including a factsheet about how it is spread, possible clinical signs and some helpful biosecurity advice.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns, or would like to organise a vaccination for your horse. We are here to help.

World Animal Day is celebrated annually on October 4th. This years theme is ‘The world is their home too’ highlighting the importance of treating the Earth as a shared space for humans and animals alike.

It is no surprise to any of you that horses have incredible memories, and this is likely no more apparent to you than when you are trying to get them to do something that they may have previously had some sort of negative experience with - however minor!

Conversely, they also have the ability to recall human interaction on a very positive level, and are finely tuned to remembering people. Just like humans, tight bonds are built with trust and patience over time and last a lifetime.

Today, we are celebrating and appreciating these remarkable, complex creatures and their relationship with us and would love to see your photos of the equine friend in your life.

As the 5pm stampede towards the weekend starts across the country, it is probably an opportune moment to let you know who your weekend support crew are!

James in Cowbridge, Ilaria in Swansea and Theresa in Pembs will all be on call this weekend should you need them. Please call 01834 860871; and at the risk of sounding like a stuck record, a polite request that you do not call the Vet directly.

Wishing you all a happy weekend.

Introducing Pembrokeshire born and bred Cara, who recently joined our Narberth-based Admin team, with additional responsibilities for the Yard.

She is a passionate horse woman, having spent her whole life around them. She is very clear that she wants both our patients and their owners to have as comfortable and happy experience as possible during their stay with us - and the singing and bad jokes in the morning are all part of the package!

We are delighted that she has joined our team and look forward to you all meeting her in the course of time, though some of you have already had the pleasure. 🐎

There are only 96 days until Christmas and yet this week, it has felt like summer for the first
time this year.

This has absolutely no relevance whatsoever as to who is on call this weekend, but it did make you stop.

So, enjoying the first of the run ups to Christmas on calls (😉) are; Graham in Pembs, Ilaria B in Swansea and Eliza in Cowbridge.

Please call 01834 860871 if you need them. Please do not call the vet directly.

Happy Friday!

At Cotts, we encourage our team to follow their dreams, and today we are more than a bit proud of Nikita, our Veterinary Assistant in Cowbridge, whose sunny smile many of you will recognise.

This week, she enrolled at Hartpury to start her journey studying to becoming a Veterinary Nurse, alongside her role here.

We wish you all the best Nikita; we know you will make a fantastic Vet Nurse.

It might be late in the day, and the weather may be miserable, but it wouldn’t be right if today didn’t go marked and a cheer put back in the air! A HUGE happy, happy birthday to Cotts Equine. A very sentimental 18 years old today!! 🎉🥳🎂🎈🎊 Thank you to each and every one of you for being with us along the journey. We’ve come a long way indeed. As for the video; No prizes for guessing who, but there’s a vet with a very definite voice for Veterinary advice and most definitely not for singing! 🤦‍♀️ #cottsequinehospital #equinematters #equinehospital #equineveterinarymedicine #equinevets #vetlife #birthday #vetswhosing #andthosewhocant #proud #equinehealth #thankyou

Its been a while and we thought you might be interested to see the following short video of a procedure to check if a leg wound has a deeper complication that has contaminated the fetlock joint, which is a fatal condition if untreated. It is a straightforward, but potentially life saving procedure, where the joint is prepared by sterilising the skin first, then sterile technique used to inject the joint with sterile salt solution under pressure. If the injected fluid does not dribble out of the skin wound, then the wound does not join up with the joint, and the horse is safe from that complication. Watch carefully. #cottsequinehospital #equinehealth #vetlife #equinevet #horses #veterinary

As the big day makes it’s entrance in little more than a few hours, we thought it would be nice to spread some festive cheer and let you know who the winner of last Fridays competition was (and indeed which voucher was drawn!) So, importantly, the winner is ….. sorry, you’ll have to open day 23 to find out 😉🎅… https://calendar.myadvent.net/?id=a260404a56ba040fde1bd2870d05c255 Huge congratulations!!! #cottsequinehospital #equinehealth #christmaswinner

Ominously waiting to cover the most frightful of weekends are this hardy trio : John in Swansea, Kelly in Cowbridge and Marie in Pembrokeshire. Be reassured that you’d be pushed to find much that scared off this lot! Wishing you all a thriller of a weekend with plenty of spook-tacular fun. Happy Halloween all! #cottsequinehospital #equinehealth #vetsoncall #thrillernight #Halloween
