Yass Valley Council are encouraging farmers to microchip their dogs, because unfortunately there are too many farm dogs that go missing and end up in the Animal shelters and their owner cannot be found.

Microchipping your farm dog is extremely important, it is a stamp of ownership and it allows dogs that are lost to be able to be reunited with their owners.

On the 06 June 2024 Yass Valley Council Rangers will be at the Nutrien Trade Day microchipping only farm working dogs for free.

There will be a limit of only 2 working dogs per farmer.

Yass Valley Veterinary has Collaborated with Randlab to hold another gastric scoping day at our Murrumbateman Veterinary Hospital, on Thursday the 6th of June.

Is your horse showing the following signs:

- Poor appetite or weight loss
- Dry, dull, or harsh coat
- Poor body condition
- Behavioural vices: crib-biting, windsucking, irritability
- Mild colic signs
- Poor performance or reluctance to train

Gastric scoping is performed with a specialized gastroscope & all horses will require a sedation. The 3-metre fiber-optic scope (camera) is passed into multiple areas of the horse’s stomach to visualize any ulcers.
It is estimated that up to 85-90% racehorses, 93% endurance horses, 40-75% pleasure/performance horses and 50% of horses used for western sports suffer from gastric ulcers. Up to 50% of horses with stomach ulcers may not show any obvious signs.

What you need to know:

When: 6th of June
Where: Murrumbateman Veterinary Hospital
Cost:, The Gastroscope is FREE, Sedation will be $85 per horse
Please note: Your horse will need to be fasted overnight for 12-14h and no water for 8h prior to the appointment.

Did you know your performance horses should have a dental every 6-12 months. A dental assessment or Power float (Additional $215*conditions apply) can be done on the day if discussed prior at the time of booking.

A $50 deposit is required when booking. The deposit is refundable if you need to cancel with more than a weeks’ notice.

Every animal deserves dignity and care

Feedlots are just outdoor factory farms, and they're more common than you might think. 😔

No.122 Rambo, a DESEXED male husky aged 4 years

Rambo is a nice, friendly boy who has a lot of typical Husky independence. He has some training and would be so keen to learn more. Rambo can sit on command and shakes hands. Does pulls on lead sometimes but can walk nicely when he chooses to and doesn’t mind being handled. He likes to be close to the handler but isn't looking for approval, more that husky independence! He met Boof and both dogs were polite but largely uninterested in each other. He needs a family who would let him live in harmony with them and who would give him plenty of mental and physical exercise. He would need a strong leader to give him the boundaries he needs to have a happy and healthy life! He’s a friendly boy who would thrive in a home with a family who know the breed. If interested please call the Queanbeyan pound on 02 6285 6269 or email [email protected]

☀The five-second rule: Place the back of your hand on the pavement. If you can not hold it for five seconds, it's too hot to walk your dog. Even though our dogs' paws are a lot tougher than our hands and feet, they can still burn the same way. Keep other surfaces in mind also like the tray of a ute. 🛻☀

🌅 In the summer, heat walk your dog early or late in the day when the pavement is cooler. 🌅🌅

Here at Yass Valley Veterinary, we see many horses with a painful condition known as laminitis/founder. Laminitis can occur at any time of the year but is more commonly seen in spring and after heavy rain. Laminitis is commonly associated with high sugar, lush spring grass. 🌾☘️🌾

🐴 Signs including:
◻️ Shifting lameness (shuffling weight frequently from one side to the other)
◻️ Warm hoof capsules
◻️ Increased digital pulses
◻️ lying down for long periods of time
◻️ leaning back on heels
◻️"sawhorse” stance or “walking on egg shells” gait
◻️ lame, especially when circling

If you think your horse may be suffering from this disease, please contact Yass Valley Veterinary on 6226 4444 or start an app on our Yass Vet App so we can arrange a vet to see your horse.
