HIGH DEMAND DELIVERS SECOND BRANCH FOR CENTRAL EQUINE VETS

EDINBURGH’S Central Equine

Vets, one of Scotland’s leading Equine Practices in Central Scotland has surpassed all expectations in the short time they have been in business and have now opened a second branch in Perth & Kinross.

The Edinburgh clinic launched in 2013, and by using portable state of the art equipment including wireless digital x-ray, ultrasound and video endoscopy, set the standard of veterinary care to horses, ponies and donkeys. This mobile service has reduced time and costs in the diagnosis process for equines, allowing their stomachs, lungs, and musculoskeletal system to be assessed, sometimes in less than 10 seconds and all in the comfort of the horses’s own home environment. By allowing an immediate diagnosis to be made, the team at Central Equine Vets are able to provide peace of mind for horse owners, start any care and recovery programmes with immediate effect and reduce the stress and pain endured by equines.

Veterinary surgeons and Practice Partners of Central Equine Vets, Matt Hanks BVSC MRCVS and Malcolm Corsar BVM&S Cert. AVP (EP) MRCVS have a vast and broad pedigree in the equine veterinary world and with nearly 40 years combined experience are two of the most highly respected equine vets in Scotland. Matt Hanks is a published author of both scientific papers and contributor to equine veterinary text books as well as a having lectured in equine reproduction and equine practice for veterinary undergraduates for 10 years. Matt has also worked on television programmes such as Vet School, Supervets and Landward.

Malcolm Corsar is recognised by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons as an Advanced Practitioner in Equine Practice and is a member of the British Veterinary Association, The British Equine Veterinary Association and the Association of Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons, allowing him to practice at the leading edge of equine veterinary medicine.

Matt Hanks, Partner at Central Equine Vets says, ‘Demand for our services has increased massively year on year and our decision to expand and open a second practice in Kinross was in response to this. Already covering Central Scotland including Edinburgh, The Lothians and parts of Fife and Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, parts of North and South Lanarkshire, we are now also covering the whole of Fife, most of Stirlingshire, all of Clackmannanshire and most of Perth & Kinross. Our new Practice, based in the centre of Kinross will also be available for clients to collect medication, pay their accounts and meet the vets for general advice. Our services are available 24hrs a day, 365 days of the year, meaning no equines need to be without immediate veterinary care, with access to everything from vaccinations, dental work, wound management, nutritional assessments, pre-purchase examinations and infectious diseases diagnosis and more’.
