Agnes Banks Equine Clinic

Agnes Banks Equine Clinic
was established in 1989 with the aim of providing the best available veterinary care and advice for horses and their owners. The practice services the Hawkesbury and lower Nepean areas, and accepts surgical and medical referral cases from the surrounding areas.

"Our Place or Yours”
Most cases are attended at the stable or farm, but the trend toward "haul in" consultation is encouraged. Not only can up to half the visit fee be saved, but appointment scheduling is facilitated, and extra diagnostic equipment and staff are immediately at hand if required. At least 24 hours advance booking of routine consultations is appreciated.

“Horses Only”
In doing this the Agnes Banks Equine Clinic is able to offer a high level of professional skill, as well as a range of diagnostic equipment including state of the art digital X-ray, tendon, reproductive and general ultrasound, endoscopy and scintigraphy.

“Particular Interests”
Within the practice each veterinarian has areas of particular interest such as anaesthesia, internal medicine, lameness, reproduction and surgery. The clinic has a particular interest in colic surgery, as well as advanced breeding procedures including semen freezing, insemination and embryo transfer.

“Modern Facilities”
are offered for equine anaesthesia and surgery where all current surgical procedures can be performed. The practice is associated with a particular interest pathology laboratory, which collects specimens three times daily, and some laboratory tests are performed "in house". The pharmacy stocks most common horse medications.

“Responsible Drug Use”
We have a commitment to responsible drug use and request your cooperation in this regard. Particular care is required with Schedule 4 (S4) medications. These are potent medications and are so classified to emphasise the potential for misuse. Please use only as prescribed and for the animal intended. We can only prescribe these drugs for horses in our care, for cases with which we are familiar, and for use on properties in which we are in regular attendance. Please seek advice for disposal of unused medication and used injection apparatus.
