Emergency Care in Gordonsville, VA
At Keswick Equine Clinic, we provide 24/7care for horses experiencing medical conditions requiring urgent attention. We understand that emergencies can be confusing and scary, and they happen when it can be challenging for you to find a veterinarian. We highly encourage you to use your regular veterinarian (who maintains your horse’s vaccine and welfare status) when you experience an emergency, and we hope that veterinarian is us!
