VETEQUIN

This includes everything from the initial consultation with our patients to treatment for any illness, condition, or behavioural issue. During these visits, we assess and provide guidance on nutritional plans and appropriate management based on the individual case. Vaccination and deworming programs are also included here. Dentistry work, reproductive cases, ophthalmologic evaluations, and minor surgeries are still considered part of our primary care services. More complex cases are referred to and managed by the appropriate specialists.

Thanks to our specialized training, years of accumulated experience, and work across various equestrian disciplines, this area is one of Vetequin’s strengths. We also travel outside our standard coverage area to support fellow veterinarians who request this service or for second-opinion consultations.
Our approach to lameness and horses presenting with poor performance involves a thorough physical and dynamic clinical examination. Based on the findings, we collaborate with the owner to determine the most suitable course of action tailored to the specific circumstances.

Vetequin is equipped with advanced digital radiography systems and portable ultrasound machines with four probes, allowing access to all possible areas of the horse’s body.
Imaging diagnostics are performed on-site, wherever the horse is located. In more complex cases, or when minimum working conditions are not met, the owner is asked to transport the horse to our clinic at the Hipodromo Costa del Sol.

Vetequin has been treating its patients with biologic products derived from the patient’s own blood for over 15 years. In our laboratory, we have the technology to process and produce PRP and IRAP, therapies that can be prepared on-site without the need for the patient to travel. We use these treatments for soft tissue injuries—always guided by ultrasound to precisely target the affected area—as well as for joints and tendon sheaths. We also work with stem cells for orthopedic issues, sourced from specialized laboratories that produce them using donor horses.

We carry out a large number of pre-purchase exams in our local area. Upon acceptance of a quote, we can travel to other parts of Andalusia and, in exceptional cases, beyond. Many of these examinations are performed for international clients who trust our experience and objectivity.
We offer two types of clinical exams: a basic 2-stage vetting, most commonly used for leisure horses, and a more thorough and comprehensive 5-stage vetting for competition horses. For the latter, we always recommend a radiographic study, which can be tailored to the individual horse. Ultrasound and endoscopic evaluations are optional, depending on the specific case.
We also offer a specialized ultrasound assessment for certain sport horses, aimed at evaluating soft tissues of high relevance in performance horses—tissues that cannot be accurately assessed through clinical examination or radiographs alone.
