FAQ

As equine vets we are constantly asked all manner of questions regarding horses.  We have put together a few of the more common queries that we receive and hope that you find some answers that are of interest to you.  This list will grow over time so remember to keep coming back to check up on us.  If there is a curly question that you would like to put to us then please feel free to contact us and let us know.



What is the normal body temperature for a horse?

Your horse's body temperature will vary over time.  The normal body temperature for a horse is between 37 and 38.5 degrees Celcius.

Body temperature can vary with the heat of the day, excercise and temperament.  If your horse is showing any signs of illness with a temperature consistently above 38.5 please give us a call.  If the body temperature reaches 39.5 urgent veterinary attention is required.

 
How much does it cost to get my cat's nails clipped?

Believe it or not this is one of the more common types of questions that we are asked over the phone!!

We are an EQUINE ONLY practice and our vets treat horses only.  If you have dogs and cats that need treatment feel free to ask our opinion but please understand that we will always recommend that you see a small animal vet.
