Gorteen Acre Veterinary Clinic

Gorteen Acre Veterinary Clinic is a mixed-animal practice (small animals, farm animals, equines, and exotic species) with X‑ray facilities. The website also states a 24‑hour call‑out service for large animals and a 24‑hour emergency service for equines.

• •Support for emergency situations, including being “quick to respond” and taking calls “24/7” (as described in a review).
• •Exotic-pet care: a crested gecko seen by an “exotic pet vet” (named in reviews).
• •Multiple species handled in practice (dogs, cats, rabbit mentioned in reviews; the website also lists equine, farm, and exotic species).
