Mares are one of the few species that are not able to have twins
Conceiving twins is relatively common, and is detected at the early (14-16 day) scan. This video shows us manually reducing a twin, to allow the other embryo to go ahead and develop normally

We have one of the barn cats that got lost at the Armidale Showgrounds last night. He was in Calum’s canopy and jumped out. It was after midnight and they were unable to get him back.
He had a cat bib on at the time but looses it easily.
If you find him please let us know!
Thank you for your help everyone

Ruptured peroneus tertius
Ruptured peroneus tertius

Ruptured peroneus tertius (part of the stay apparatus that allows horses to lock their hind legs to sleep standing up) is an interesting but relatively uncommon injury. We have seen a few in recent months, they are characterised by a very unique gait and the ability to straighten the hock while bending the stifle (see photo in comments)
