The law changes on June 10th to make it compulsory to have cats in England microchipped.

So we are holding another FREE cat microchipping event at the Blue Cross Devon on Wednesday 12th June - 2pm-4pm.

Make sure your cat/s are legal. We get so many stray or injured cats bought into the surgery each year who aren't microchipped and we cannot reunite them with their owners, microchipping is a quick solution to this.

*** Warning graphic images ***

We had an emergency goat caesarian at the surgery yesterday. Flora (the goat) had managed to push the head out but the kid was stuck at the shoulders. Matthew decided it would be safest to perform a caesarian section, resulting in a live birth and a much happier Flora!

The total lifespan of a fly is estimated to be 15-25 days.

By the 12th day, a fly will reach maturity and after this
point, females can lay over 500 eggs usually in batches
of 75 – 150. That’s a quick population increase once those
500 eggs reach maturity, usually two weeks.

That’s why it’s important to have a strategy for all the
stages of the fly-berg. Simply tackling the adults may not
decrease your population on farm because the females
might have already laid their 500 eggs somewhere.

Cleanliness is key to reduce your overall population –
displacing and removing their breeding ground, but there
are other products available to keep on top of that 85%,
including parasitic wasps – an organic solution.

For more information on fly control, please speak to one of our vets.

FREE CAT MICROCHIPPING EVENT.

Following on from the success of our last session we are holding another FREE microchipping event for cats, in conjunction with Blue Cross Devon at their site in Exeter.

The law changes from June 10th that all cats in England need to be microchipped. It is important to be able to help reunite stray pets with their owners and has been a legal requirement for dogs for some time now.

Don't miss out, bookings not required.

🐮 Ways to prevent calf pneumonia - Ventilation & Housing🐮 🌬️Optimum ventilation allows stale, moist air to be exchanged for fresh, clean air. In poorly ventilated houses, pathogens, dust and noxious gasses like ammonium can compromise the calves' airways. A dry, straw bed is a great way of keeping your calves healthy and content, by reducing stress and regulating body temperature. Floor slope, drainage and ventilation are important factors in maintaining dry bedding. Feed intake and feed conversion are both linked to calf health. Make sure your calf feed plan is optimal, for the type of animal and the targeted weight gain 💪 #Jwoodvets #Vetpartners #mixedvets #farmvets #CalfVaccination #AntibioticsStewardship #SustainableFarming #VentillationRelaxationVaccination #CalfPneumonia #DontHesitateVaccinate #Zoetis

🐮 How does Pneumonia spread? 🐮 Viruses are considered the initial cause of the majority of calf pneumonia outbreaks. In addition, bacteria and lungworm can also play a role. 🤒 Calves with pneumonia can produce large quantities of causal viruses and bacteria, which can infect neighboring animals through saliva spread by close contact and coughing. By vaccinating all your calves you can significantly reduce the spread. Routine vaccination protects your calves from severe pneumonia outbreaks. As well as reducing severity of clinical signs and viral shedding, it saves your business money in the long term. Don’t hesitate, vaccinate!

🐮 Why is calf pneumonia important? 🐮 Around 3/4 of calves diagnosed with calf pneumonia are found to have lung damage at the time of slaughter. Pneumonia severely impacts calf growth rates leading to loss of revenue to farmers. Calf pneumonia costs the farming community £80 million per year. Prevention measures are the most sustainable and cost-effective way to manage the disease. ☎️ We're here for you if you need us. #Jwoodvets #Vetpartners #Mixedvets #farmvets #CalfVaccination #AntibioticsStewardship #SustainableFarming #VentillationRelaxationVaccination #CalfPneumonia #DontHesitateVaccinate #Zoetis
