Yesterday, we shared information from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Today, we'd like to share additional information about livestock and poor air quality.

What can you do to help large animals in a prolonged period of smoke and haze?

⚠️Limit exercise when smoke is visible. Animals should not be required to perform activities that substantively increase airflow into and out of the lungs.
⚠️Provide plenty of fresh water near feeding areas.
⚠️Limit dust exposure by feeding low-dust or dust-free feeds and sprinkling or misting the livestock holding area.
⚠️Plan to give livestock 4 to 6 weeks to recuperate after the air quality returns to normal. Attempting to handle, move, or transport livestock may delay healing and compromise your animals’ performance.
⚠️Have a livestock evacuation plan ready in advance. If you don't have enough trailers to transport all of your animals quickly, contact neighbors, local haulers, farmers, producers, or other transportation providers to establish a network of reliable resources that can provide transportation in the event you need to evacuate your animals.
⚠️Good barn and field maintenance can reduce fire danger for horses and other livestock. Ensure barns and other structures are stable, promptly remove dead trees, clear away brush, and maintain a defensible space around structures.

Great, informative post made by Earl Grey Veterinary Services!
Keep in mind this calving season! 🐮

Navel ill is very common in calves this time of year.

Navel ill is a bacterial infection that enters in through the umbilical cord within the first few days of life and causes swelling, pain, and a purulent discharge. If left untreated the infection can be spread to other areas of the body, such as the joints.

The best way to prevent navel ill is by making sure there is clean/dry bedding for calves to lay on at all times.

If you are having issues with navel infections, or any other issue, please call the veterinary clinic for advice!

Happy calving season! 🐮

This is our busiest time of the year so please bear with us as we may need to reschedule in office appointments for any calving calls. Our doctors get called out to help pull calves, perform emergency c-sections or fix prolapses.

As we are in peak calving season, we apologize for any scheduling inconveniences. Our dedicated team will try our best to accommodate all our patients and clients.

We hope you all enjoy the beautiful spring weather ahead of us!
