A shout out to our vet Emily!

She recently participated in a trial for a new product by NoBACZ Healthcare, a gel barrier which has been used in the treatment of Orf lesions, working closely with some of our clients and their lambs.
Her hard work and dedication have paid off, with her findings now published in Vet Times.

We are incredibly proud of her commitment to advancing animal care. 🐑🐑

We are seeing an increased number of cases in ewes and lambs.
Please call us if you have any concerns, and remember, test before you treat!

Think it's Haemonchus? Don't panic - test first to be sure. , news from SCOPS, the sustainable control of parasites in sheep.

Thank you to all of our clients for your continued support. We wouldn't be here without you!

Helen works endless hours to make sure her business performs at it's best for you.
(not forgetting her wonderful team of vets and support staff). But she has had to increase her quarterly Amazon order of Gin and hair dye to monthly!

We are still seeing some high numbers of worm eggs in faecal egg counts. Don't let the dry weather fool you into thinking those pesky worms won't be around.

On a slightly different note, please remember our wildlife will be struggling to get access to water at the moment, so please consider leaving a shallow bowl of water out for the hedgehogs, garden birds etc.
