A Western Australian vet has raised more than $60,000 to treat horses that suffered severe burns during the ongoing bushfires in the state's South West region.

Murray Veterinary Services, located an hour outside of Perth, created a GoFundMe crowd-funding page to raise the money which will be used for medication and supplies needed to treat the five horses.

The burned horses can be seen in videos and photos uploaded to the vet's Facebook page covered in bandages, showing deep facial scars and being attached to nebulisers to treat them for smoke inhalation.

"Words cannot express the gratitude for the support that has been given... We now have enough medication, supplies and funding to give each of these horses the very best of care," the clinic posted on Facebook.

"The number of people who have supported these horses is both overwhelming and humbling."

Comments on the videos praised the efforts of the vets and volunteers helping the horses recover.
