Sports medicine

More information

Dentistry

Preventive dental care to catch problems early.

More information

Even if your horse is healthy, dental care is essential. Caught early, many problems can be solved quickly and affordably. That is why Vetequus is committed to preventive care.

It includes a static examination (digestive, respiratory, skin, eyes, teeth, palpation of limbs, back and neck) and a dynamic one (flexion tests, lameness assessment, exercise tests), supported by radiographs, laboratory tests where anything is suspected, and reproductive examinations for breeding animals.

About me

Aída Huertas Domínguez

I was born into a family devoted to breeding horses, which gave me first-hand knowledge of breeding, improvement and selection. In 2006 I set up on my own as an ambulatory equine practice, and I have been providing my services ever since, always keeping my training up to date.

  • 2003Degree in Veterinary Medicine, University of Córdoba
  • 2006Founded Vet-Equus Veterinary Services, an ambulatory equine practice
  • 2019Spanish Certificate in Equine Practice, first cohort
  • Reg.No. 291102, Málaga College of Veterinary Surgeons
  • +Postgraduate in Equine Internal Medicine (UAB) and MBA (ESIC)
Full training and experience

During my degree I was a student intern in Ethnology, Ethology and Radiology, and at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Córdoba. During holidays I trained at European hospitals such as Equinia Hospital (Noorderwijk, Belgium).

I then completed an internship at the Centro Policlínico Veterinario San Vicente del Raspeig under Dr Manuel Alejandro Rodríguez, training in equine reproduction, ambulatory practice, intensive care and surgery. Later I spent time at leading hospitals such as the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, De Morette Hospital (Belgium), the Animal Health Trust (UK) and Three Counties Equine Hospital (UK).

Always with enthusiasm, care and a desire to keep learning.
