Emergencies and Diagnostics

As well as our GVG Equine Vets, our large animal vets are trained and well equipped to handle equine emergencies in and out of hours.
In hours call (03) 5662 2251 ext 2. and for after hours emergencies call (03) 5662 2818 note after hours charges apply
Pre-purchase & Lameness
We offer 2-Stage and 5-Stage pre-purchase examinations to aid potential purchasers in deciding if a prospective horse is fit for their needs. With our traditional weather patterns in South Gippsland and Bass Coast, foot abscesses are common. Our equine vets will get to the bottom of your lameness or poor performance issues with a thorough examination and recommendations for on-going care. To book a pre-purchase or lameness examination call us on (03) 5662 2251 ext 2.
Reproduction Services
From August to April we are busy welcoming and making new equine babies through the application of assisted reproductive technologies.
Preventative Health Care
The importance of preventative health care on performance and longevity is increasingly recognised. We offer a wide range of services including dental examination and treatment, faecal egg count testing and vaccinations. Preventative health care and check ups will help minimise your veterinary costs in the long run. In addition to our veterinary only services we also offer a range of ancillary equine services including freeze branding and clipping.
Facilities
Our Livestock and Equine Centre in Leongatha is equipped with padded stables, day yards and paddocks for hospitalisation and treatment of sick or injured horses, donkeys or ponies.
