KETOSIS🐮

After calving, cows need a lot of energy. To bridge the gap between the energy she has and the energy she needs cows will 'milk off their backs'. Using fats to make energy for too long leads to ketosis.

As seen below clinical signs range from the obvious, to the neurological, to the more subtle.

Problem cows can be identified at dry off and given targeted treatment to prevent clinical ketosis on farm.

Sheep Scab🐑

Unfortunately we are all too familiar with scab in sheep. This mite costs the UK sheep industry millions per year. Resistance to treatment has been found and so we need to be confident with our diagnosis and ensure correct treatment for our flocks.

Clinical signs:
Yellow scabs, itching, rubbing against fence posts, loss of wool and condition are amongst the most common signs.

Scab is spread by direct contact between infected sheep and healthy sheep.
As the mite can live off the host for 16-19 days, scab can also be spread in the environment and through equipment such as trailers.

⚠️ Scab is a notifiable disease so please contact us if you suspect problems amongst your flock!

As Bluetongue continues to be an issue in mainland UK, please see the poster below with the key facts and clinical signs to look out for 🐑🐮

Unilateral twins at 46 days pregnant.

Contralateral twins on ultrasound at 42 days. This means they are present in opposite horns.

An Early Embryonic Death in a 48 day old feotus

Endometritis in a Holstein calved 28days. These cows can be 'non bullers' Fresh cow checks allow us to pick up and correct problems early, so calving to first service targets can still be met.

Plenty of our early Lambers are already in full swing. Call in or give us a shout to get all you need, to get organised for lambing.

An ovarian abscess that was recently detected at a routine fertility scan. Detection of problems like this early on at routine checks, allows prompt treatment.

An interesting case, that was seen at a routine fertility visit this week. This cow has three CLs (corpus luteum) present on her ovary. One is normal, two is seen occasionally, but three is very rare. The CL develops after ovulation, with the role of producing progesterone to help establish and maintain a pregnancy. #IMVimaging #farmvet #cattlevet
