I think a lot of vet practices’ hands are tied by what their governing bodies are saying, a lot of which is premised on small animal (many more consults per day and in a confined space) rather than equine. The governing bodies also seem pretty preoccupied with what the rest of the population would think of vets if they claimed they were key workers and carried on as normal, despite this being the case in other countries in lockdown.
I think it’s a shame and to a certain extent vets have been let down by the confused and ever-changing advice. It puts them in a really difficult position if they go against it, both from a staff health and welfare angle and also with regards to relationships between local vet practices.
Hopefully there will be some clearer guidance soon that puts us on a more normal footing.
