Meet Daphne ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ

Rebecca visited Daphne last week and diagnosed her with a suspected tumour behind her eye. This week Rebecca returned to enucleate (remove) the eye.

Daphne was already blind in the eye before it was removed, but hopefully by having it removed it will relieve any discomfort it may have been causing her! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ From today the Bouetongue Virus (BTV-3) restriction zone in England will be extended to cover the entire country.

๐Ÿ“‘ This means that movement restrictions for animals within in England will be lifted, and farmers will no longer need specific licenses or pre-movement test to move livestock.

๐Ÿงช However a specific licence will still be required for freezing of germinal products (semen, ova, and embryos) within England.

Meet Nettles aka Netty ๐Ÿ’š

Netty was involved in a dog attack which left her with a broken leg โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน Her owner brought her in to have her leg cast, hopefully she will go on to make a full recovery.

Nettyโ€™s case really highlights the importance of keeping your dogs controlled and on leads around livestock! Sheep can be seriously injured or killed when chased by dogs, even if the dog doesnโ€™t catch them ๐Ÿฆฎ

Did you know all our vets have to do 35 hours per year CPD? โœ๏ธ

Our vets can also choose to do a certificate to gain more specialised knowledge. One of our vets is currently completing a 100 hours per module certificate ๐Ÿคฏ

Can you guess which vet it is? ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿง 

Thereโ€™s so much learning and development that goes on behind the scenes, when we arenโ€™t on farm treating animals, to ensure our clients receive the best service!

During the shearing season, even minor nicks and cuts can leave sheep vulnerable to infection and flystrike. Left untreated, these small injuries can quickly escalate โ€“ especially in warm or wet weather.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Thatโ€™s why post-shearing injury care matters. A fast-drying, protective gel barrier like ๐—”๐—บ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป can protect it from flies and support natural healing.

๐Ÿ‘ Look after your flock โ€“ treat shearing nicks as part of your standard routine.

Last week Will had the task of stapling this poor lambs face back together, after a rather large piece of skin was hanging from his face! ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ‘
*The before photo is rather gruesome so Iโ€™ll leave it to your imagination

Weโ€™ve had an update today from his owner that heโ€™s making a full recovery โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Did you know we now have a sick bay at our farm office? ๐Ÿค’

This is a temporary measure until our building is renovated to allow us to preform c-sections and surgeries, but for now you can bring your animals down for vaccinations, examinations and other procedures to save on the cost of a visit!
