Farm & Large-Animal Vets near Cootehill

## Summary Clerkin Vets describes itself as a “Veterinary Hospitals” service covering large animals and small animals, plus equine and “some exotics.” The website also highlights that it supplies a range of animal dosing products (including oral doses, drenches, pour-ons and injections). Reviews mention diagnostics and surgery (including an ultrasound booking and emergency/out-of-hours surgery), with one owner describing successful surgery for a hamster. Feedback is mixed: several reviewers describe fast access when needed and effective emergency surgery, while one recent reviewer reports repeated unreturned calls when seeking urgent advice and later says their request for medical history to be sent to another clinic was refused, citing rude phone handling and inconsistent service quality. ## Services - Care for **large animals** and **small animals** (website). - **Equine services** (website). - **Exotic animal care** for “some exotics” (website); reviews specifically mention a **hamster** treated with surgery and recovery. - **Ultrasound** (review mentions a follow-up appointment booked for an ultrasound). - **Surgery**, including: - **Emergency surgery for a dog** (review). - **Surgery for a hamster** with reported full recovery after 7 days (review). - **Out-of-hours service** is specifically mentioned as “extremely good” in one review (no further details provided). - Sale/supply of **dosing products**, including **oral doses, drenches, pour-ons, and injections** (website). ## People - **Lydia (vet)**: mentioned in multiple reviews. One owner says the consultation “all went well” with her; others thank her for help during a “traumatic issue” and describe the team as professional and empathetic.
