Antibiotic use in the sheep sector is generally low, but it spikes around lambing time, especially for neonatal lambs. By being more selective with antibiotics, we can save money and reduce resistance!

For personalised advice on managing antibiotics during lambing, speak to your vet. 🐑

We are pleased to announce that we have a new product in stock which acts as an alternative to iodine for navels. It has been shown to reduce joint ill, increase growth rates in lambs and has anti-lick properties in calves. Additionally using it on ears and tags at tagging time helps protect against joint ill too.

Please call the office on 01382 811111 to order your supplies in time for lambing, calving and kidding.

🔷 Blue Monday 🔷

The third Monday in January is typically thought to be the most depressing day of the year and is often referred to as "Blue Monday".

At the practice, the large animal team are planning to put a positive spin on the concept of Blue Monday by getting together this afternoon for a cuppa and a blether.

We urge you to pop on the kettle, tuck into some biscuits and share a laugh with a friend.

RSABI (Royal Scottish Agricultural Benevolent Institution) aims to provide support and improve the lives of those working in the Scottish agricultural sector. They are available all year round, 24 hours a day and can be contacted on 0808 1234 555.

👛 SAVINGS AVAILABLE 👛

Please see below some of the savings that are available to our farm and smallholder clients:

🐑 50% discount on visit fee for all routine work that consists of at least 1 hour's worth of work - this would be applicable to herd/flock blood sampling, PD's, scanning, castration, dehorning etc.

🐮 Discount on vaccines for payment on collection - this discount applies regardless of the number of vaccine doses that are being purchased

🦙 Facilities at our Kings Cross Road surgery in Dundee and our Ladybank premises in Fife are suitable for the examination of smaller animals (please note that we do not have facilities for the handling of adult cattle or large numbers of stock) - if you bring your animal to us, this will save you a visit fee!

🐐 Small numbers of doses available for routine preventative treatment (such as worming, vaccinations etc) - where possible, we will try to provide our smallholder clients with an accurate amount of product to save on the purchase of large quantities of medicines that are likely to go to waste.

⭐ Please contact the office on 01382 811111 to book in and take advantage of these savings today!

🐮 Pre-calving vaccinations 🐮

Vaccinating your in-calf heifers and cows is an excellent way to start your calves off on the best footing. By vaccinating, pre-calving this allows antibodies to be passed onto the calves during the pregnancy and through colostrum. Timing depends on the specific vaccine but often this needs to be done about 4 weeks prior to calving.

One of the most common things to vaccinate for is clostridial diseases - these are often fatal diseases with poor response to treatment. There are lots of different variations of clostridial disease - pulpy kidney, braxy, blackleg, black disease, tetanus are all examples of clostridial diseases.

Scour is also something we can vaccinate against - targeting coronavirus, rotavirus and E. coli. The use of vaccination doesn’t mean you won’t have any calves at all with scour, but greatly reduces the number affected and the severity of those that are!

Other common vaccines for diseases such as Leptospirosis and BVD can be given during pregnancy.

As with any prevention measures, it all comes down to the individual risks on your farm. Please contact the office on 01382 811111 to speak to one of our dedicated large animal vets who can discuss which vaccines would be most suitable for your farm.
