You may never have seen behind the scenes in a veterinary practice. So take a look at the work our vets and nurses do on the front line every day to look after animals in veterinary practices, hospitals, in the field and on call - so that they receive the best possible care.

The lovely Bernie visited us this evening after his owners noticed he was suddenly uncomfortable on his front left paw after walkies this afternoon 🐾
After investigating, Jonathan successfully spotted and removed this (rather large) thorn from Bernie’s pad under sedation!
Bernie went home feeling much better this evening 🐶 🤍

Looking after your horse’s teeth
Did you know horses teeth grow continuously throughout their lives? When you’re a member of the Horse Health Programme an annual dental examination with routine floating with sedation is included to help keep your horse’s teeth healthy and in tip top condition. At Oaklands your horse will always receive a full oral examination to check the other structures not just the teeth, and all our vets carry motorised equipment. To find out more and to join the Horse Health Programme: https://goo.gl/ocDgmf
Solo believe it or not was not lame when he arrived on Friday - he had a blood sample taken for his titre testing to check he has responded to the rabies vaccine as part of his travel conditions as he’s off to Africa soon. Lucy simply applied a light pressure bandage to stop him bleeding after his sample and suddenly his leg stopped working! He milked it for as many treats as we would give him and limped off home to have a miraculous recovery when the bandage was removed - CURED! #PoorlyPawTrick #GiveMeTreats #PetPassport #MilkingIt #DramaQueen

Oaklands Ambassador Result Thank you to all who took part in our search for the 2018 Oaklands Equine Hospital Ambassador, especially the fantastic four final nominees. We would love to make you all Ambassadors, if only we could! The response was overwhelming and really demonstrated the breadth of talented horses and riders that are part of the Oaklands family. We're excited to announce the winners are the Lupton Family, and we're looking forward to hearing about their exploits over the coming 12 months. I'm sure everyone would join us in congratulating them, and wishing them well for the New Year!
Pip's unlucky Friday the 13th. Pip was brought to Oaklands Equine Hospital after getting a wire stuck in his foot, in a dangerous location. Fortunately Jamie was on hand, with his skills in podiatry and experience treating injuries of the equine foot. He was careful to confirm that no joint, sheath or bursa was penetrated, although it was very close! Look out in the video for the specialist x-ray technique that's been used. Jamie fitted a 'hospital plate' which attaches to a regular horseshoe to protect the wound and keep it clean and dry. It's the best way for the wound to be treated every day without the need for expensive bandage changes each time. Well done Pip and Jamie. Special thanks also from the entire family at Oaklands to Pip's mum, whose cake game is strong!
Oaklands Veterinary Centre New Arena
Your Equine lameness and poor performance service just got better! We always strive to provide the best level of care possible, so we're pleased to reveal the latest round of developments at Oaklands Equine that will allow us to meet the needs of our growing caseload: Our brand new 20 x 40 arena will allow us to take our equine poor performance investigations to the next level, allowing observation under saddle. This will enable evaluation of issues that are only apparent during performance including subtle gait abnormalities and lameness, respiratory and cardiac issues, and neurological problems. Combined with our new secure hard surface trot up and lunge area, and our gait analysis technology, this makes the facilities at Oaklands second to none in North Yorkshire. Thanks to http://www.barnfatherconstruction.co.uk/ for delivering an amazing service and amazing product. Get in touch if you'd like a tour of the facilities! More exciting announcements to come in the next few weeks so watch this space!
An Interesting Visitor.... Meet Seamus II, who came into the clinic recently for castration. Castration in horses is a routine procedure which can often be done out in the field providing the horse is young and healthy with 2 descended testicles. In donkeys, it is still a routine procedure - but due to the proportional size of the blood vessels in this area there is a higher risk of bleeding; it is always recommended with donkeys to perform the procedure under general anaesthetic, where a slightly different technique to those done standing can be used. Seamus behaved beautifully and went home after a few days in the clinic. Kind thanks to his owners for allowing us to share his story - they report he is none the worse for wear! We are sure you will all agree he is extremely cute - and during his stay he was quite chatty too! If you would like any more information on having your horse or donkey castrated, please feel free to ring the clinic and chat to one of our vets.

Our caring team of diversely skilled and experienced veterinary surgeons and nurses are aided by our dedicated reception and support staff in an idyllic, accessible location, offering the very latest in facilities and veterinary technology.
Oaklands Veterinary Centre has long been regarded as a centre of veterinary excellence in the North East of England, having grown exponentially since it was established by Graham Russ, who ran the practice from his home in Maltby, moving to our current site in the seventies.
The practice continues to grow, and although Graham has since retired, investment in the practice over recent years has been enormous, with extensive rebuilding completed in November 2015. This has enabled us to continue our veterinary tradition offering your pets access to the very best veterinary care from our beautiful site.
