REMEMBER - keep your dog on a lead around livestock 🐑🐶

Each year sheep are injured or killed by loose dogs. Chasing can cause extreme stress, miscarriages, mismothering of lambs and horrific injuries.

Sheep worrying is an offence, and at this time of year, it's even more important to keep your dog on a lead ⚠️

To mark Earth Hour at 8:30pm today, we wanted to share some of the key things we do to promote sustainability 🌎

🌱 We have a 'green group' led by Sustainability Champion and small animal vet Laura Binnie.
🌱 We have performed a carbon audit at our two main branches (Dalston and Newbiggin), the results of which we will use as a benchmark as we progress and implement more of our sustainability plan.
🌱 We have performed a waste audit, ensuring we commit as little as possible to landfill or clinical waste and leaving what’s left to be recycled.
🌱 In our small animal department we use reusable cotton theatre gowns and hats and wear crocs instead of needing shoe covers. All of these are washable with environmentally friendly detergents.
🌱 We have a well-being garden, where colleagues have brought seeds and plants from their own gardens to add to the eclectic mix of plants.
🌱 Another easy win for us was moving away from buying milk in plastic bottles to having it delivered to the practices in glass reusable bottles 🥛

Protecting the planet is incredibly important to us here at Paragon, and we are delighted that our work has been recognised, from being awarded the highest Green Accreditation by Investors in the Environment to also winning the IiE national award for Best Water Reduction 👏🌎💧

This calf had an unfortunate start to life when the stomach tube broke off in its stomach whilst being fed colostrum 🐮

Surgery was done to retrieve the broken stomach tube and the calf is now flying with no concerns! 💪🥳

Maintenance and regular replacement of stomach tubes is vital to avoid incidences like this in the future.

, and it is vital to newborn lambs 🐑

Colostrum contains antibodies which help to provide immunity. It is also rich in essential nutrients to provide energy for growth. Feeding enough good quality colostrum quickly is the best way to prevent / reduce cases of watery mouth and clostridial diseases (depending on ewe vaccination status).

Remember, the 3Qs - quantity, quickly, quality ✅

Preventing watery mouth - colostrum and good hygiene are the most important factors to help this!🧤⚠️🐑

Prepare yourself for success by following the below tips ⬇️
🐑 Feed 50ml/kg of colostrum within 2 hours of birth.
🐑 Consider carrying out pre-lambing bloods to ensure good colostrum quality.
🐑 Iodine navels as soon as possible after birth, repeat in 6 hours.
🐑 Cover the ENTIRE navel with iodine - by dipping.
🐑 Have separate stomach tubes for colostrum and for feeding sick lambs.
🐑 Leave individual pens to dry and disinfect all surfaces between ewes.
