We had these two cute piglets in recently for their castration at the Towcester Surgery!
These boys are continuing to stay with their sisters, and so prevention of further piglets is important.
We used an anaesthetic gas to make them sleep for the duration of the procedure. Sarah then removed both of their testicles surgically. Pain relief was given and a shiny aluminium spray was applied to protect the wound.
The castrations went well for both of them and they enjoyed lots of cuddles from the nursing team whilst they were recovering!

Due to an increase in bird flu cases, owners of more than 50 birds must house them from Thursday. This also applies for smaller flocks who sell or give away eggs. For more information please see the following post from APHA.

We are excited to announce that we have a new Worm Egg Count Machine!
This machine will help us to provide counts of greater accuracy and allows us to offer additional in-house testing such as Haemonchus contortus speciation.
In most cases, this speciation will be same-day – enabling quick and effective decisions to be made.
Cocci speciation is also coming soon!

Keep your eyes peeled for a chance to name our machine! 👀

Vincent Van Goat (Vinnie for short) came in to see us a couple of weeks ago for a tooth extraction.

Vinnie had been seen by Beckie and Abel in the field after feed kept getting impacted in his mouth. Beckie managed to see that he had a wobbly tooth and recommended its removal!

Vinnie came into the Burcote Road surgery where all the Towcester Vet departments got involved!
🐶 The small animal nurses helped to place an IV catheter.
🐮 The farm team induced and monitored anaesthesia.
🐴And Michele from our equine side helped with the extraction of the tooth.

Michele used his scope to see and successfully removed Vinnie’s offending tooth.

Vincent Van Goat is doing well post-surgery and Beckie continues to monitor him in the field.
