Emergency Vets in Worcestershire

## Summary Field Equine Vets is an independent, first-opinion equine practice established in 2016, operating from a purpose-built clinic with facilities including stabling, stocks, a trot-up area, a menage/50m school, a weighbridge, and an onsite lab. The practice covers horses as well as alpacas and smallholding animals (sheep, goats, pigs). Reviews strongly emphasise urgent and complex case support, including vets staying for extended periods to investigate blood results and stabilise a sick colt, and an emergency choke case that involved clinic admission for further investigations and inpatient care. Concrete details owners mention include: - Emergency call-outs and late-night support (one vet stayed until 11pm when concerned about blood results). - Diagnostics and follow-through (blood tests discussed; further investigation in-clinic after an emergency). - Handling nervous horses patiently (allowing breaks, calm approach during blood tests and dentistry). - Short-notice pre-purchase/vetting arrangements, including a check organised with less than 24 hours’ notice. ## Services Based on the website and reviews, the practice offers: - Emergency care services, including emergency call-outs (reviews mention emergency attendance for choke) and clinic-based follow-up/investigation. - Dentistry (review describes teeth check and dentistry carried out during a visit). - Blood testing and investigation of suspected Cushing’s (owner-reported suspicion leading to blood tests). - Lameness assessment using Equinosis (listed on the website). - Gastroscopy (listed on the website). - Pre-purchase examinations/vettings (listed on the website; reviews describe a thorough vetting arranged at short notice). - Acupuncture (listed on the website). - Pharmacy and repeat prescriptions (pharmacy listed on the website). - Worming plan (listed on the website). - JMB measurements (listed on the website). - Riding school inspections (listed on the website). - Care for alpacas and smallholding animals, including smallholder vaccinations (listed on the website).
