Emergencies
Providing 24-hour emergency veterinary services for equine and large animal patients.

The large animal veterinarians at the UF Large Animal Hospital provide equine and large animal emergency care 24 hours a day, seven days a week to Gainesville, Ocala, Jacksonville and the surrounding areas.
A patient can be referred by a primary care veterinarian or the owner can call the hospital directly. It is important to make arrangements with the on-call veterinarian prior to arrival whenever possible.
Colic Emergencies
The hospital’s equine veterinarians provide advanced colic care 24/7. The team, including board-certified doctors, trained staff, and state-of-the-art facilities, can handle any surgical or medical colic case and work to provide the best possible outcome for the horse.
Emergency Procedures
Emergency services are available 24/7. After 5 pm Monday-Friday, weekends, and holidays, an answering service will take the call and connect you to the appropriate doctor based on the patient’s condition.
How to Arrive
All emergencies are received at the main hospital. Upon arrival, the horse or large animal will be stabilized and evaluated. An initial medical treatment plan will be provided, and a deposit of 50% of the estimated cost will be required. The owner and primary care veterinarian will receive daily updates and notifications of any changes in the patient’s condition.
A patient can be referred by the primary care veterinarian or the owner can call the hospital directly. It is critical that arrangements be made with the veterinarian on-call prior to arriving at the hospital if possible.
