Equine Vet Care

General Health / Medicine

We all know our Horses can get up to mischief sometimes and this can cause them to become unwell. At Greater Whitsunday Vet Services, we are well equipped to deal with all our patients medical needs and have dealt with several different cases over the years. We are currently building our equine facilities in Bowen to help better manage our equine medical cases.

Unlike humans our horses cannot tell us what happened or where the issue is. This is why we use our in-house laboratory diagnostics and imaging to help us solve the puzzle. Getting us back on the path to a happy healthy patient.

Emergency Assistance

Our Vets and nurses are available for afterhours emergencies for our clients 7 days a week. If you believe your animal is having an emergency, please contact us on 07 4786 1010 and follow the prompts. Here you will reach a member of our nursing team to help triage the situation.

Remember Greater Whitsunday Vet Services is a small team and not only do our vets and nurses work during the day but then go on call when they are at home at night. Please be courteous and only call if there is a genuine emergency. We understand it is a stressful time but please be courteous to staff as no aggression, violence or abuse is tolerated at our clinic.
