Urgent Care

Del Oeste Equine Hospital provides equine emergency services for our clients at all hours, every day. Outside of our business hours, a skilled, on-call veterinarian will respond quickly to your needs, either by phone consultation or traveling to your barn.

Emergency Phone: 541-689-0205

When Should I Call?

If you’re concerned, it’s best simply to call us. Over the phone, the doctor will evaluate and advise you on the seriousness of the issue. You’ll know whether your horse has a problem that must be addressed immediately, or if it’s something that can wait.

Do call us immediately whenever you see any of these symptoms:

  • Colic – Your horse is grimacing, shows no interest in food, ears pinned back, possibly pawing at the ground, looking at its side, possibly stretching like a dog, rolling on the ground or throwing itself violently to the ground.
  • Choke – Your horse is distressed and food or saliva is dripping from its nose.
  • Dystocia – Your mare is having trouble foaling.
  • Retained placenta — More than three hours.
  • Mare rejects her new foal, or foal isn’t able to nurse within three hours.
  • High Fevers (over 103ºF)
  • Severe bleeding
  • Wounds — Punctures, large wounds, wounds over joints, or wounds showing exposed bone.
  • Cuts that may require stitches — The wound must be stitched within 8 hours for the sutures to hold.
  • Eye injuries — Cuts, watering, swelling, holding the eye closed.
  • Labored breathing
  • Non-weight bearing lameness or difficulty walking.
  • Difficulty standing or lack of coordination.

When in doubt, call us at 541-689-0205.

Limited After Hours Service Area

Our After Hours Service Area is limited to 30 miles from our clinic location. If your horse is 30 miles or further away, you should either contact a veterinarian closer to you, or be prepared to haul in to our clinic on Meadowview Road.

If your emergency is during normal office hours, we may be able to respond to calls for established clients who are at a greater distance, but this depends on the availability of our staff.
