🐴 From gentle giants to pocket-sized ponies! 🐴

Today has been a great example of the variety we see here at Donnington - with both Bailey, a 19hh Clydesdale and Incy, a tiny Shetland pony visiting the practice.

Despite the considerable difference in size, both received the same high standard of veterinary care from our team. ❤️

We’re lucky to work with horses and ponies of all breeds, types and sizes - and days like this are a great reminder of just how diverse our patients can be!

There has been a significant rise in the number of cases of equine influenza virus in the past few weeks. Most cases occur in unvaccinated horses. However when a flu vaccination was given more than 6 months ago, cases have also been reported and there is evidence that protection is significantly improved when boosters are given within a 6 month period. If your horse travels, competes or attends other events and mixes with other horses from different yards we would strongly advise a flu booster after 6 months to maximise protection.

If you would like to arrange a vaccination or would like to discuss things, please contact the practice on 01635 39039.
