At PAWS we are a truly mixed, first opinion
General Practice. We currently have 10
veterinary surgeons of whom five are mixed
practitioners and one is full time large animal.
We have a 24 hour Emergency Service with
large animal only dedicated vets.
We provide the usual general medical
services (examinations, advice for worming,
vaccinations, identichipping, lameness and
dental examinations etc) including provision
of mobile ultrasound, endoscopy and
radiography facilities.
We perform 'in-field' surgical anaesthesia to
carry out castration/geldings, lump removals
and other minor surgical procedures. We
undertake 2 and 5 stage pre-purchase and
insurance examinations. With our own
in-house laboratory, we are in a position to
offer many same or next day test results.
We also work closely with other equine
paraprofessionals - farriers, EDT's and
physiotherapists - to ensure all-round and
continued equine care.

The Paragon Veterinary Group serves a wide
area within Cumbria and beyond. Equine
treatments are normally carried out at their
base in Newbiggin near Penrith, which has
in-patient facilities, a padded knockdown
and recovery box and a dedicated equine
operating theatre. The centre is equipped for
digital radiography, endoscopy, ultrasound
scanning, heart monitoring and haematology
and has an official measurement pad for
accurate height determination.
Paragon Vets have developed a sterling
reputation for their work in AI and breeding
and Newbiggin is an excellent centre for
mares and foals with fenced paddocks,
stabling and two large foaling boxes.
The Newbiggin team is led by senior
clinician Paul May whose work is
well-known in the research of Foal
Immunodeficiency Syndrome and the
centre now also offers a growing range of
eye treatments both to its own patients and
referrals thanks to Chris Dixon who has a
particular interest in equine Ophthalmology.

Spilsby, Lincolnshire
Fenwold Veterinary practice is an eight vet
practice covering the Lincolnshire Fens and
Wolds. All aspects of routine equine work
are carried out by the staff, several of whom
have their own horses and competition
interests. The vets regularly work up cases
out in the field but more complex cases are
managed back at the surgery where facilities
include a knock down box and stocks.
Lameness problems are routinely investigated
with nerve and joint blocks, digital
radiography and ultrasound. We offer
stem cell therapy, which is used in the
management of tendon injuries. The
equipment required to perform respiratory
endoscopy and gastroscopy and the facilities
to carry out routine non-emergency surgery
are available. Routine fertility work and
Artificial Insemination are performed in the
breeding season. One of the directors is a
certificate holder in dermatology with a keen
interest in sarcoids. This involves examining
and treating a large number of the practice's
own cases but also taking dermatology
referrals from other nearby practices.
