❗ Warning Graphic Photos ❗

Our little friend Archie Fluff had an unfortunate encounter with another dog.

Archie was admitted in hospital to asses the extent of his injuries where it become apparent that he had suffered a fractured jaw.

The following day Dr Richard was able to place a metal plate and screws over the fractured bone to stabilize it. After the surgery Archie was unable to eat any food orally and a feeding tube was placed to help with his recovery.

We are pleased to hear Archie is back to eating solid foods and recovering well at home.

These two sweet & adorable goats need a loving home. They are 5 years old, both desexed males without horns and are partial to a bit of lantana. They would need a well fenced paddock. If you can’t live without these goats please give us a call. Cheers Mullumvets 66843818

Worms worms worms!

Barber's pole worm and other intestinal parasites are a huge problem for our farm animals. Cappuchino the goat came in on death's door markedly anaemic with dangerously low blood protein levels - see all the thousands of worm eggs found in her faecal sample. She had two young kids at foot too. With appropriate drenching and lots of other supportive care, Cappuchino has made a full recovery! The Owl & The PussyCat Farm Animal Sanctuary did a fantastic job nursing her back to health.

For advice on cattle, sheep, goat and horse parasite prevention, or any other large animal issue, you can talk to our friendly team on ☎(02) 6684 3818.

With all the rainy weather lately we have been seeing a lot of horses come down with hoof abscesses. This is one of the most common reasons for severe lameness in a horse 🐴

It is treated by draining the pus from the foot. An experienced practitioner (typically veterinarian or farrier) does this by finding defects on the sole of the hoof, then paring them down with a hoof knife to find the pocket of pus. Often application of poultice dressings is also required, which draws pus out from deep inside the hoof. Pain relief is another hugely important part of treatment. Our veterinarians can also discuss predisposing factors with you such as inappropriate diet or paddock environment, laminitis, or possible underlying hormonal diseases.

The 1st video shows the severity of the lameness that is caused by an abscess and the two middle pictures show the drainage hole created by 1 of our vets, the last picture shows the discharge that comes out of the abscess on a poultice of 1 of our patients here at Mullumbimby Vet Clinic.

If your horse is having trouble getting around call us on ☎02) 6684 3818
