Shear grab injuries, although was nowhere near the worst we have seen it still required a few stitches. Two layer repair, surgicryl (multi filament absorbable) for soft tissue and yellow (non absorbable) for skin.

Tried to do a different nerve block for this one. There are a bundle of vessels and nerves which travel through the point I've marked with the yellow needle.

A free hat to someone who names it in the comments

The nerve block didn't really work, so I blocked locally with procaine. Another free hat to someone who can say whether it should have blocked feeling to the injury if performed correctly.

Liver Biopsy

This is one of those procedures that seems more difficult than it proves to be.

Site placement is crucial, the second large intercostal space cranial from the paralumbar fossa and a large hands breath down from the top of the ribs. I say large intercostal space as some cows have a vestigial or floating rib, which you can ignore.

Clip, scrub, and freeze a square roughly 15cm x 15cm. Photo 1 and 2. I have actually gone a bit too low in this one. Then, with a scalpel, nick a small 1cm hole through the skin only.

The video in 3 shows the biopsy needle being pushed through the different layers. Three muscle layers and then peritoneum. After peritoneum, you will actually be in thorax as the diaphragm reflects back at this point, so don't remove stylet yet, or you can cause pneumothorax. Feel the distinct pop as the point goes through the diaphragm. At the end of the video, you can see the needle moving up and down with the cows' breathing, which shows placement is correct.

Your needle is now hovering over the causal liver. Remove stylet, attach a syringe, and take several cores of the liver. Use syringe to apply negative pressure and remove needle with liver sample hopefully inside.

It's more straightforward than it seems, though it is weird to stand on a farm and wave a big f # off metal rod about inside of a cows abdomen.

We send these samples to the lab for a general profile, selenium, manganese, copper and cobalt. Liver biopsy is the only reliable way to assess copper status.

Top tip, make sure cows have had chance to fill up with food as much as possible, a full rumen will push the liver up against body wall.

🐑🐑 Understanding Cobalt Deficiency in Sheep: What You Need to Know 🐑🐑

Hello to our wonderful community of sheep farmers and enthusiasts!

At Farm Vet Services, we’re dedicated to the health and well-being of your flocks. Today, we want to shed some light on an important issue: Cobalt Deficiency in Sheep.

What is Cobalt Deficiency?
Cobalt is a vital trace element that sheep need to produce vitamin B12. Without enough cobalt, sheep can't synthesize this essential vitamin, leading to a range of health issues.

Symptoms to Watch For:

Poor appetite
Weight loss
Lethargy
Anemia
Poor wool quality
Increased susceptibility to infections
Why It Matters:
Cobalt deficiency can significantly impact the productivity and overall health of your sheep. Early detection and treatment are crucial to ensure your flock remains healthy and thriving.

Preventive Measures:

Ensure your sheep have access to a cobalt-rich diet.
Consider cobalt supplements if your pasture is deficient.
Regular health check-ups to monitor and manage their vitamin B12 levels.
We're Here to Help!
If you suspect your sheep may be suffering from cobalt deficiency, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our team of experienced veterinarians is here to provide guidance, testing, and treatment options to keep your flock in top condition.

Stay proactive about your sheep’s health and let’s work together to prevent cobalt deficiency!

Feel free to call us at 07506 385 234 or visit our website www.farmvetservices.co.uk for more information and to book an appointment.

Thank you for trusting us with your flock's health!

Best Regards The Farm VET Services Team
