🌟 Foaling Season Has Arrived! 🌟

As we welcome the start of the breeding season, it’s the perfect time to ensure your mares are well-prepared for a safe and healthy delivery. 🐴💕

Is your mare ready?
✅ Do you know your mares due date?
✅ Does your mare have a caslick?
✅ Is your mare up to date with necessary vaccinations?

It's important to monitor your mare closely, especially as she nears her expected foaling date. Having a clean, safe, and quiet environment ready — plus a plan for when to call your vet — can make all the difference.

Once the foal is on the ground, don't forget the critical early checks:
🍼 Has the placenta passed completely from the mare?
🍼 Has the foal passed its meconium (first manure)?
🍼 Did the foal receive adequate colostrum? We recommend an IGG blood test to ensure your foal has received adequate immunity from colostrum.
🍼 Is the foal bright, active, and nursing well?

🕐 Foal should be standing within 1 hour, nursing within 2 hours and the mare should have passed her placenta within 3 hours.

Your mare and foal deserve the best start, and we are here to help make that happen. Call our team today for expert foaling support, tailored advice, and peace of mind this breeding season on 0746 309 983.

Wishing all our clients a safe and successful breeding season and plenty of healthy, happy foals! 💛🐎

🎉 Congratulations Dr Jordana 🎉

A huge congratulations to our very own Dr Jordana Hill on being elected as the EVA Young Member State Representative for South QLD! 👏🩺

This is a fantastic achievement and a true reflection of Dr Jordana’s hard work, leadership, and passion for the veterinary profession and we couldn’t be more proud to see her recognised in this way. Anyone who knows Dr Jordana knows just how compassionate and committed she is to her patients and her peers and we know she’ll be an incredible voice for young vets across South Queensland.

Well done Dr Jordana, we’re so proud of you! 💙🐴

Last month, our incredible team members Dr Jordana, Dr Jane, and nurse Tayla attended the 45th Bain Fallon Memorial Lectures on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. 🌞👩‍⚕️

As the largest equine veterinary continuing education event in the southern hemisphere, this conference stands as a cornerstone of the Australian equine veterinary community — advancing clinical expertise while offering a valuable opportunity to share real-world experiences and strengthen the bonds within our incredible industry. This year’s program delivered invaluable insights into cardiology, reproduction, and dentistry, three critical areas of equine care. 💖🩺🦷

Events like Bain Fallon allow our team to bring back the latest knowledge, techniques, and innovations and we are proud to support continued professional development and ensure our team stays at the forefront of veterinary knowledge so we can continue delivering the best possible care to your horses.

A huge thank you to the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) and Equine Veterinarians Australia (EVA) for organising such an outstanding and inspiring event. We can't wait for the next one!

August 1st 2025 | Happy Birthday to all our equine friends today!
🥳🦄🥕🎂

🎉🐴 Happy Birthday to every horse 🐴🎉

August 1st is the official birthday of horses in Australia.

Today we celebrate all horses — the foals just finding their feet, the wise old paddock companions, the cherished children’s ponies, and the incredible equine athletes giving their all in the arena, on the track, or out on the trail. 💪🏇

Big or small, mare, gelding or stallion, hairy or sleek, cheeky or noble — every horse deserves a little love today. ❤️

So go ahead… give your horse an extra cuddle, a scratch in their favourite spot, and maybe even a veterinary-approved birthday treat 🥕🍎

Here is to the horses and the humans who adore them.

🌍🐴 World Veterinary Day 🐴🌍

Today we celebrate our incredible vets who show up day and night to care for our beloved animals. As we all know, their dedication goes far beyond medical expertise. They are the calm in moments of worry, the steady hands in emergencies, and the quiet patience that comes from understanding each horse as an individual. Whether they are treating a performance athlete, delivering a foal at 2am, or helping an old friend find comfort, their compassion, skill, and commitment never wavers and we are incredibly grateful for every single one of them.

To our amazing team at EVS, and to all veterinary professionals around the world, thank you for all that you do. 💙
