Donaldson's Farm and Equine Ltd describes itself as an independent large‑animal and equine practice with in‑house diagnostics and an equine unit, offering work such as lameness and dental diagnostics and gastroscopy. The website also states a 24/7 ambulatory emergency call‑out service for registered farm and equine clients. The latest reviews available to us, however, include companion‑animal appointments (a bird, cat, and dog), with owners describing: - being taken straight into a consult room after a frantic call for a seriously ill senior dog, and being given time to say goodbye after the dog passed - a bird owner saying the front desk were “lovely” and the vet handled the bird carefully and professionally - one complaint about an icy, untreated car park and dissatisfaction with a “cheaper alternative” medication option that ended up costing more than expected until the plan was changed
