Other Farm Animals
Cattle and Sheep
Our vets in the Hedon practice have over seventy years experience of being part of the farm team. As well as providing 24 hour emergency cover and treating any sick individuals, we offer a full herd/flock advisory health and welfare service.
This includes advice on general and specific herd/flock health such as dealing with disease outbreaks, disease prevention (including vaccination) housing, husbandry and bio-security. Our in-house laboratory can also aid with rapid diagnostics.
Fertility, production and welfare are other related areas where we can offer our expertise to help maximise benefits for you.
Our range of experiences allows us to tailor our service to your individual farm, be it a large commercial enterprise or a small-holding.
Other Farm Animals
Over the years we have had much experience with Goats, Camelids, Poultry, Game birds and even farmed Rabbits. This allows us to provide you with a full service whether you keep these animals for production or as pets.
Pet Pigs
As a specialist pig practice we are able to treat and advise on the keeping of pet pigs.
Please note: 24 hour cover
Unfortunately, due to the nature of 24-hour cover, we cannot offer this outside the Hull and Holderness area unless by prior arrangement. We can provide services to registered farm clients in the rest of East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, and nationally for pig clients.
A full emergency service is provided. At weekends and bank holidays, small animal emergencies are seen until 4pm at Holderness Road. Night work is undertaken on our behalf by Vets Now at the PDSA Petaid Hospital at Brunswick Avenue, Hull who will give free out of hours advice over the phone . This has allowed us to focus and be much more proactive during the days when we see 99% of our clients. This means you will not see a dishevelled vet that has been up all night working! We have found this venture to be of great importance as it has allowed us to concentrate and be at our best when we are needed most,whilst providing the essential cover for our patients at all times.
The large animal section undertakes its own emergency out of hours work at all times.
