Our Core Service for Horses
Our mobile horse vet consults cover a comprehensive range of services, designed to address both routine health needs and unexpected issues. Dr. Tom provides a wide array of services for horses, including:
01
General Health Examinations
Just like us, horses benefit from regular check-ups. We provide thorough physical examinations, including assessing vital signs, listening to heart and lungs, and evaluating overall condition. This helps in early detection of potential problems, allowing for timely intervention.
02
Vaccinations
Protecting your horse from potentially life-threatening diseases is crucial to protect them and yourself. We offer tailored vaccination programs, considering your horse’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Vaccinations include Tetanus, Strangles and Hendra virus vaccines.
03
Parasite Prevention
Internal and external parasites can significantly impact your horse’s health and performance. We provide advice on effective parasite control strategies, including fecal egg counts and appropriate medications.
04
Dental Care
Proper dental health is essential for your horse’s ability to eat, perform, and thrive. We offer dental examinations, floating and simple dental extractions to ensure your horse’s teeth are in optimal condition.
05
Lameness Exams
Lameness can be a significant issue for horses, affecting their mobility and well-being. We conduct thorough lameness evaluations to identify the source of the problem and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
06
Colic Management
Colic is a common and potentially life-threatening condition in horses. We offer prompt and thorough examinations to diagnose the cause of the colic and provide appropriate treatment, which may include medication, fluids, or referral for surgery if necessary.
07
Dermatology
Skin conditions can cause significant discomfort and irritation for horses. We diagnose and treat a variety of dermatological issues, including Queensland itch, allergies, infections, and parasites.

Nutritional Advice
Proper nutrition is the foundation of your horse’s health. We provide tailored dietary advice, considering your horse’s age, breed, activity level, and any specific health needs.

Ophthalmology
Eye problems can be serious and require prompt attention. We offer examinations and treatment for various eye conditions, ensuring your horse’s vision and comfort.
