Through membership of XLVets Equine, the practice is able to offer our clients access to XLVets’ database of equine specific factsheets. Below, you will find their complete list of factsheets ordered in alpahabetical order with PDF downloads available for all.
The factsheets are intended for ‘further reading’ and if you are concerned about your horse, we recommend to call us on 01908 560789 or send us an online enquiry.
After eleven months of waiting, when your bundle of joy finally arrives; it is worth knowing some facts about the newborn foal, especially about the first few hours of life. The mare and foal should be checked over by your vet soon after foaling to make sure all is well. This examination becomes more urgent if the foal is showing no signs of sucking, or if the mare has not passed the placenta (cleansed).
