YES! You should be very concerned if your horse is showing a decreased or lack of interest in eating and drinking. There are many conditions which could have an adverse affect on a horse’s usual appetite (such as colic). If a horse does not gain adequate nutrition and hydration their condition can quickly deteriorate, making their treatment much more difficult, expensive (they may require fluid therapy), or, in some cases, they may have to be euthanased for humane reasons. So please phone 5543 1213 immediately if your horse is not showing an interest in eating or drinking. A quick response often makes a significant impact on the physical, financial and emotional cost of dealing with their condition.

Testimonials
"David and his team treat their client’s animals as if they were their own and have helped me and my horses in some very stressful situations over the years, thankfully, always with a excellent outcome!"
"Thank you so much for the extra good care you took of Lilly ... I’ve always been extremely happy with Dave as our vet, I think he truly does a wonderful job, and you can really see how much he cares.”
"The fact that Dave has been my vet for many years speaks volumes. Dave has a very nice manner and deals with the horses in a calm and kind way. He always takes time to explain options and procedures and to advise on what he considers to be the best course of treatment."
"Although we may have moved, we would not consider using any other veterinarian other than David to care for our horses."
