EQUINE HOSPITAL & STABLES
PREMIER EQUINE HOSPITAL & SPECIALIST STABLING COMPLEX IN TOWNSVILLE
Townsville Veterinary Clinic features a dedicated equine and large animal hospital complex operating directly out of our Aitkenvale facility.
As North Queensland's leading equine referral hub, this expansive hospital layout allows our equine team to accommodate up to 16 horses simultaneously. Our layout provides a safe, highly controlled environment for intensive medical therapy, advanced pre-surgical workups, and post-operative surgical rehabilitation.
HIGH-LEVEL HOSPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Our complex is engineered to handle the unique physical demands of large flight animals, offering high-level support for both elective stays and critical emergency cases:
INTENSIVE CARE (ICU) AND 24/7 ON-CALL EMERGENCY MONITORING
Critical equine illnesses, such as severe colic, acute trauma, or difficult foalings, require continuous clinical oversight.
Our equine hospital is fully equipped for intensive care management, allowing our team to administer continuous intravenous fluid therapy, targeted multi-modal pain relief, and frequent medical evaluations.
Because equine emergencies can escalate rapidly, our senior veterinarians and equine nurses provide a genuine, 24/7 on-call emergency system. When a critical inpatient is admitted to our ICU stalls overnight, our on-call large animal team coordinates dedicated, physical check-ins and continuous monitoring at the clinic to ensure your horse receives the exact medical adjustment they need, right when they need it.
DESIGNED FOR SAFE LARGE-VEHICLE ACCESS
We have eliminated the stress of navigating tight spaces with a large rig or horse float. Our Aitkenvale facility features a purpose-built, drive-through turnaround loop specifically designed for standard floats and small goosenecks, allowing you to drive completely around the stables and exit straight out onto the road without ever needing to reverse.
For commercial transport trucks and 40ft rigs, we utilise a highly efficient unloading protocol immediately at our main gates, with ample public parking available directly across the road to store your vehicle safely during your horse's consultation.
Whether your horse requires an intensive medical workup or admission for post-operative care, contact Townsville Veterinary Clinic on 07 4779 0233 to speak with our experienced large animal team.
