Late night call of Ewe in distressed, owner mention ewe showing signs of constipation and moaning in pain. First observation of the ewe was the arch spinal cord expressing the pain She is going through. A Palpation was done to the rectum but there were no signs on constipation. A Palpation was done to the vagina were I encountered a fetus, the ewe was suffering from Dystocia (complication during birth). Ewe suffered an abortion, i highly suspect the ram hit her causing the abortion, once female has been mated it is recommended to separate from the ram. The fetus was approximately 40-45 days, gestation for a ewes are normally 152 days. My little daughter was the one taking the video, when I received the call I rushed out and forgot my head light so I asked her to please use my phone light to assist in the dark, not knowing she was also shooting a video if not we wouldn't have been able to share the experience. Ironically shanz and I had a similar encounter with a cow and a calf about a month ago. The calf took me 4 hours to extract, sadly the calf was dead hours before we got there.

Demodex is a genus of tiny mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals. Locally known as mange they are 65 species of demodex. Can not be seen with the naked eye, only with a microscope and with the experience of the KOH test you can get to see these guys. Simply amazing.

Simply amazing.

One of the common culprit that causes skin problem is Canine demodicosis, if you look carefully in the below video you can actually see one. Kindly note he can not be seen with the naked eye only with a microscope. PS: Video is an original, hope you enjoy. Info: Canine demodicosis is a type of mange that occurs when abnormally high numbers of a mite called Demodex canis multiply on the skin. This mite is normally present in small numbers in the skin of healthy dogs, but when a dog’s immune system becomes weakened, the mites can overgrow and cause disease and inflammation of the skin. Clinical Signs: There are two types of demodicosis: localized, meaning confined to a few specific areas of the skin, and generalized, in which the mites have spread all over the body. Each type has a different set of signs or symptoms. Localized demodicosis occurs most often in young puppies six months old or younger. The mites usually will appear on the front legs and face, and the effects of their presence will be fairly mild. Hair loss is a common symptom, and in the bald patches the skin may be red and scaly, and may or may not be itchy. Most cases heal without treatment and do not progress to generalized demodicosis. Generalized demodicosis is far more severe than the localized form, especially when it starts when the dog is an adult of four or five years of age. Clinical signs begin with multiple areas of hair loss, scaling, and redness. These small areas get larger and progress to affect the entire body, causing severe irritation of the skin. Secondarily, severe bacterial infections commonly occur as a result of the demodicosis. After a few months, the skin may become covered with infected, pus-filled, crusty, bloody sores. Diagnosis: IVT diagnose demodicosis after analyzing skin scrapings from the dog and detecting the presence of the mites under a microscope. In an adult dog that has the more severe, generalized form, additional diagnostic tests may need to be performed

IVT also has TikTok transformation for you. 😁 Another successful recovery. This just keeps getting better and better. Looking forward for more challenges.

Toad Poisoning: PS Viewers discretion is advise!! Some time back some one made a very important and interesting post about we are entering the rainy season and look out for toads. This is because they love to come out in the rain as they prefer a wet, dark environment. After a steady rain, the area is usually cloudy, cool and moist. This means that the conditions are right for the animal to roam around without drying out. This liquid is secreted as a way to keep the animal cool and hydrated. Toad poisoning (or toxicity) occurs when a dog is exposed to the toxins secreted by certain species of toads. When the toad is attacked or threatened, it secretes toxic substances onto its back. The absorption of these toxic substances causes toad toxicity. Once the dog comes into contact with those toxic substances, they are rapidly absorbed through the mouth, eyes, open wounds, or gastrointestinal tract. Upon entering the bloodstream, the toxins target the heart, blood vessels, and the nervous system. At this point it causes uncoordinated movement. The clinical signs of toad toxicity usually begin with brick-red mucous membranes, increased salivation, pawing at the mouth, and vocalizing. This is usually followed by disorientation, circling, stumbling, and falling, and seizures (as seen in video) Some dogs demonstrate an increase in breathing rate, anxiety, and vomiting and/or diarrhea. These signs occur within minutes after exposure (10mins). Physical examination may include any of the above clinical signs, as well as an increased or decreased heart rate and increased body temperature. The most effective treatment for acute toad toxicity is a complete flushing of the mouth with running water. Owners should do this immediately, and prior to seeking veterinary care. It is important to point the dog’s head down so that the water is not swallowed. If the dog is having seizures, the mouth should be flushed so that the water flows away from the throat to prevent drowning. If own
