Have you ever looked in a piggy's mouth?? We have!!! Boars have tusks that continue to grow throughout their life. Depending on how old they are, these tusks can begin to pose a risk to fellow pigs or their handlers. By trimming a few centimeters off of the tusk, we can promote better oral health and eliminate any potential risks. In this video you will see that one tusk was beginning to puncture the top gum line. This would be incredibly painful and begin to cause him to decrease his food intake, leading to other health issues. #emersontrailvetservices #cowvet #pigvet #summer2024 #animalhusbandry

Scours is a broad term for diarrhea in a young calf. It can progress very quickly causing severe dehydration, unwillingness to nurse, and lethargy. If symptoms are not noticed quickly, the likelyhood of a calf surviving drastically decreases. We offer a full service of 24hr hospitalization with intense IV fluids and meditations; always giving the calves we see the best chance at survival!! #emersontrailvetservices #scourcalf #hospitalizedcalf #cowvet #albertavet

🌼 Happy Administrative Professionals Day to our favourite VMA, Jen! 🌼 Jen has been with us for almost 4 years and has been an essential part of our business since she started. With so much of our work done on-farm, we rely on Jen to be the glue at the clinic that keeps us all together. She can often be heard laughing with our clients, or chatting with the CFIA office about exports. She knows where all of our clients are located and remembers when they typically preg test, semen test, or order meds. She greets everyone by name when they walk through our door. Our business has grown so much since she started and her steadfast presence and competence is truly engrained into ETVS. She is gearing up to start her next chapter in life in central Alberta and we are both so grateful to have had her with us for 4 years and sad to see her go. ✨Today we celebrate Jen! ✨

Colostrum is an ESSENTIAL component for happy, healthy calves. Whether birthed naturally or with medical intervention, it is necessity to get them colostrum as soon as possible. This calf was born via c-section and was tubed with colostrum within 5minutes of delivery. #etvs #healthycalf #cowvet #ColostrumBenefits #rvtlife #vetlife #calving2024
