ENCYSTED REDWORM...ENCYSTED REDWORM...ENCYSTED REDWORM...

We have been incredibly busy this past week with poorly horses with encysted redworm. In fact we have had clinical cases since the end of July...

As a result of this plus recent published information from Jacqui Mathew's FRCVS, Austin Davis laboratories, we are providing encysted redworm testing at a reduced price.

This is to try to overcome the perceived expense. However please note -> The most expensive thing is -

*doing nothing and having a poorly horse,
or
*blanket worming not realising your horse has a super high burden and then as a result having a poorly horse
or
*blanket worming encouraging resistance and ultimately, you guessed it, having a poorly horse.

As an equestrian community we need to take responsibility to improve our own worming protocols and protect our own horses but also very importantly the efficacy of wormers we have.

What's in the package?

We will come and take blood at a reduced price. Package of £74.90 this would be done on our routine calls app schedule. This includes routine call appt, blood sample and lab fee for encysted redworm.

Appointments can be arranged by email - [email protected].

Your appointment will be scheduled with Freddi RVN or Lindsay MRCVS.

*Proudly independent - compassionately caring - clinical excellence*

With all the recent discussion following the CMA review of veterinary practices, Alastair and I would personally like to take a moment to reflect on what and who Highland Equine Vets are.

We are a fully independent, equine ambulatory practice — not owned or influenced by any of the big corporate groups.

From the very start of HEV our focus has always been on providing the highest standards of clinical care that we can. The welfare of all horses, ponies and donkeys under our care is our No 1. priority.

We will always investigate and treat your horse the best way we see fit from the horse stood in front of us.

As an independent practice we pay more for many drugs from wholesalers than they are sold for through online pharmacies - often owned by corporates. This sadly disadvantages smaller, independent practices, like ourselves.

As the veterinary world navigates its way through the CMA review we will stand true to our values at Highland Equine Vets and continue to give an independent and ethical service the best we can.

Happy Birthday Highland Equine Vets!🎈🍰

It's our 4th birthday! How did that happen? Time really does fly when you're having fun!!

A huge thank you to our wonderful and dedicated clients, our most steadfast supporters.

On a personal front Alastair and I must thank Dani, aka "the real boss", without whom this would not be possible. With the recent addition of Freddi to the team, it truly feels as though this is the team to beat, the dream team.

For all clients we are visiting today we have birthday cake galore to help us celebrate our 4th birthday!! 🎂

**Veterinary surgeons, farriers and paraprofessionals**

I wanted to take a moment to think about how we as horse owners can help keep us vets, farriers and fellow para-professionals (physiotherapists, chiropractors, foot trimmers) safe when we visit.

It’s really important to let us all know if your horse is likely to bite or kick, or if you even just think it might on that particular day.

We all have challenging jobs and it can be made really dangerous, really quickly.

I have experienced numerous situations recently whereby I have found myself in a potentially dangerous situation. I've simply been lucky not to be seriously injured. And I've spoke to numerous farriers who have experienced similar situations. If any of us get kicked, we could potentially be laid up and unable to attend to your horse, and out of work, for a considerable period of time.

We are already seeing a shortage of farriers, so we must ensure we are looking after them!

I think it’s important to understand “why” your horse might be behaving like this. It’s highly likely that your horse is in pain, or is fearful, or perhaps both. If this resonates with you just speak to us.

Lets try to protect our wonderful veterinary paraprofessionals.
And let’s listen to our horses.

We hope everyone has stayed hydrated and safe from the sun this weekend. What a gloriously hot weekend. Far, far too hot for riding down here with us so our weekend has been spent ensuring the horses are well hydrated and protected from the sun.

It's been a fluid buffet of cocktails, UV fly masks and suncream type weekend!

Fluid buffet favourites for our horses include mint water, and an exotic orange and pineapple 🍍!

Thank you very much for taking the time to nominate. After a very busy week (Meabh agrees!) it is lovely to come home to this nomination in the postbox. Sometimes you are so busy focused on the patient infront of you that you don't hear the, "thank you". But when you see one of these (and recall the excitement and delight it brought back in 2020) you know its all worth it
