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.

🧥 Keep Your Calves Warm and Healthy This Winter – Calf Jackets Only £20! 🧥

❄️ As the cold weather sets in, protect your calves from cold stress with our high-quality calf jackets—now on special offer for just £20 each! Designed to keep your calves warm, healthy, and growing strong, these jackets are a must for winter.

🌟 Why Calf Jackets Are Essential:

🌡️ Maintains Body Temperature: Provides insulation to keep calves warm during cold spells.
💪 Boosts Immune Health: Protecting calves from cold stress strengthens their immune system, reducing the risk of illness.
❄️ Prevents Cold Stress: Ensures calves stay comfortable, stress-free, and focused on growth—even in harsh winter conditions.
Don’t miss out—invest in your calves’ health and growth this winter. Order now at www.farmvetservices.co.uk for just £20 each!

We posted about this cow a few months ago after she had headbutted the wrong end of a shear grab!

The first two pictures are the Cow after our stitches. The second two are her at a fertility visit this week.

Miraculously, the hole in the head had healed over. Unfortunately she was also empty.
