Emergency and 24-hour vets near Middleburg
24 emergency or 24-hour veterinary hospitals are mapped within about twenty-five miles of Middleburg. Call before you haul: not every emergency hospital takes horses, and the one that does will tell you whether to load the horse or wait for the vet to come. Keep the trailer hitched in colic season.
Around Middleburg the summer problem is humidity: once air temperature plus humidity passes 150, a horse cannot shed heat, so work early, hose after, and keep electrolytes and shade in front of them. Winters are mild enough that most horses go unblanketed with a shelter. 1 of these are marked open around the clock.
The 24 emergency and 24-hour veterinary hospitals, closest first
Before you go
- Call now for: colic that does not settle in 30 minutes, a horse that will not bear weight, a deep wound or one near a joint, choke lasting more than a few minutes, eye injuries, a foal that is not nursing, a laminitis stance.
- While you wait: walk a colicky horse only if it wants to move; no food; note gut sounds, temperature, gum colour and when it last passed manure.
- Expect an emergency farm call of $150–$300 before treatment; colic surgery at a hospital $5,000–$12,000, which is what major-medical insurance is for.
What works
- Know the hospital's hauling route and how long it takes before you need it.
- A trailer that loads, a hitch that fits and a truck with fuel are part of the first-aid kit.
- Banamine only on the vet's say-so, and never in the muscle.
- Keep a wound kit: clean wrap, non-stick pads, diluted chlorhexidine, a hoof boot.
- Write the vet's and the hospital's numbers on the barn wall.
