We had some excitement today at Livestock Veterinary Service, University of Sydney with the arrival of this whooper of a lamb!! His mother affectionately called, Ewenece, was suffering from pregnancy toxemia and needed some help. Pregnancy toxemia occurs in sheep when the energy demand of the foetus or foetuses outstrips the ability of the ewe to meet that energy demand. This can lead to lethargy, weakness, neurological signs, and even death.

In Ewenece’s case, her condition warranted an emergency Caesarian to evict her womb-guests with the help of Dr Nicholas Goh, Dr Francisco Segundo and our eager Sydney Uni DVM students. Little did we know….it was just one giant guest! 😳😮

Meet “Huegene” (or Baby Huey as we like to call him)…a 6.5 kilogram, whopper of a Dorper ram lamb. At his weight…he was like having multiples. 🐑🐑

If you are having any issues with pregnancy toxemia or dystocia (lambing difficulties), please contact our clinic to discuss with one of our veterinarians.

If you need a few sheep in your life, we are taking expressions of interest if you would like to adopt🐑Ewenece and her son 🐏Huey. 💕🩵

Worms! 🐛Worms! 🪱🐛Worms! 🪱🐛
It’s that time again!

The conditions over the last few months provided for a favourable environment for intestinal parasite infestation in our small ruminant populations most notably Haemonchus contortus (Barber’s pole)😳 and Teladorsagia spp (Brown Scour worms). And sadly the LVS team are starting to see signs like sudden death, anaemia 🧛🏼 (white membranes), bottle jaw (soft swelling under jaw that is oedema) and ill-thrift in 🐐goats, 🐑🐑sheep, and 🦙Alpacas! 😱

To promote effective management of parasites we recommend monitoring of parasite burdens in small ruminants through regular faecal egg counts (FEC)🔬. The objective of this monitoring is to keep your animals healthy and to avoid over-use of drenches which will select for resistance making them less effective in the future. We don’t want that!!

❓What we need? About 6-10 pellets of poo as fresh as possible from at least 5 individual animals. If you have less than five animals that is fine.

😳 How do I get the poo 💩?? You can collect from the re**um which is best. You can collect from the ground but must be fresh. We recommend doing this in the morning and looking for steaming ♨️ piles. Wear gloves 🧤🧤and wash hands 💦thoroughly afterward.

📦What do I collect it into? Plastic lunch baggies or use old egg carton.

🏥 Drop off to our clinic as soon as possible. Ideally keep in a cool place till drop off. No longer than 24 hours after collection for best results

Please contact us if you have concerns about worm infestations or pricing. We would love to help develop a treatment and control plan for your pets and farm!! 02 4655 0777

🦸‍♀️ Happy International Women's Day! 🦸‍♀️

Today, we're celebrating the incredible women at the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Camden. Did you know that women now make up a staggering 67% of Australian veterinarians and let's not forget our vet nurses and support team making up a whopping 97% of the industry? A true testament to the dedication, passion, and expertise that women bring to this profession.

These incredible women are the backbone of our clinics, juggling the demands of family life and countless after-hours duties to ensure that every animal receives the care and attention they deserve.

Today, and every day, let's celebrate the achievements of women in the veterinary industry and beyond. Making a positive impact on the lives of animals and the world around us. Happy International Women's Day! 💪🐮🐖🐐🐏🐑🐄🦙 🌍

A Visit from St. Nicholas 🎅🏻

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and V***n!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.
His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Worms! 🐛Worms! 🪱🐛Worms! 🪱🐛 - in the paddocks and your small ruminants!🎼🎶🎵🎤

We have seen a “frightfully” 👻 high number cases of sheep and goats with life threatening internal parasite burdens! The conditions over the last month are providing a favourable environment for intestinal parasite infestation in our small ruminant populations most notably Haemonchus contortus (Barber’s pole worm..vampire 🧛🏽worm) and Teladorsagia (Brown scour 🪱 worm).

And those worms have been partying 🎉 hard per the usual!! 😳And sadly the LVS team are starting to see signs like sudden death, anaemia 🧛🏼 (white membranes👻) and ill-thrift in 🐐goats, 🐑🐑sheep, and 🦙Alpacas! 😱

To promote effective management of parasites we recommend monitoring of parasite burdens through regular faecal egg counts (FEC)🔬.

Oh no…aren’t these two double trouble! When their mother was having trouble lambing today, her owners were concerned that 2 hours after her “water broke”..:she had not lambed. After a quick exam by the team it was determined that Luna’s cervix had not dilated and her lambs had no way out. And then the lambs’ umbilical vessels ruptured. So emergency caesarean was needed to save these little two cuties. We think they should be called “Close” and “Call”.
