Something a little different from tail or claw amputations… after an altercation with a dog this calf had extensive damage and tissue loss to both the front and back of the ear. Gemma blocked the ear, gave metacam and antibiotics - cut through the small amount of tissue holding the ear on, tied off bleeding vessels and created a flap using the remaining skin. The now rather distinctive calf is back to his normal self.

04/09/2023

Anne Marie and Catherine will be at Bakewell Market this morning! Please come over for a chat!

02/09/2023

We have a client with a foster Jenny - if anyone knows of a doneky foal who could do with a mum let us know. Donkey is on the Staffordshire - Derbyshire border.
