About Us
Independent and local:
The Livestock Clinic covers farms across Surrey, Sussex and into parts of Kent, Hampshire and Berkshire.
Our service is competitive and progressive whilst maintaining the traditional values of farm practice.
Services
We provide an ambulatory service with vehicles fully kitted out to provide all our services on farm.
Diagnostics:We have access to an in-house laboratory for worm egg counting, microscopy and same day blood work. Diagnostic work is also sent away to several commercial veterinary laboratories. We also have access to digitial xray, through Lingfield Equine Vets, for cases that require imaging either on farm or at their site in Felbridge.
We offer an on-farm post mortem service but also make use of the local post mortem facilities in the area.
Medicines: Medicines can be purchased from vet vehicles during visits, ordered for collection from Guildford or Felbridge, or posted to your farm. Please allow 2-3 working days for orders to be processed wherever possible.
Please ring ahead before collecting
Surgery Referral: In collaboration with Lingfield Equine Vets and their surgeon we offer an inpatient and surgery referral facility for cases that require management off farm on a case by case basis.
