As I sit down to write this week’s column, I realise that I’m in super form. It’s been a great week in general, but particularly in our vet practice.

⚠️Public Service Announcement⚠️

Some farmers lately have been given advice (not from their vet) regarding the need to treat milking cows based on a positive bulk milk test for ostertagia.

It is important to remember that this is an antibody test and should never be used on its own to determine the need to dose.

Any decision to dose should be based on clinical signs, in the cow. (Coughing in particular) This can be confirmed by performing a lung wash if needed.

Healthy adult grazing cows should have a good immunity to ostertagia/ stomach worms and, if free of clinical signs, do not need to be dosed .

Always talk to your vet on the ground before dosing. We only have one zero milk withdrawal ingredient and we need to use it sparingly and responsibly.

Huge progress in a week and building is about to commence. Here’s some photos of what we hope it will look like plus the ground floor plans. All comments, ideas and opinions appreciated 👍🏽

⚠️This post discusses euthanasia.

😔Vets make sick animals well again - that’s our job and that’s what we are trained do. But what happens when we’ve tried our best and it hasn’t worked?🥺
We had a very sad week in our house. Our dog of 17 years, Cosco, passed away. He was my co-pilot for years as I drove around the backroads of north-Tipp. Always happy, never judging, he kept me away on long nights on call and knows more about me than most people.
He has been on medication for arthritis for the past number of years, but we knew that, despite the best care possible, the condition was worsening. We made the difficult decision to put him to sleep last weekend.💔😢
As vets, it is a really honourable part of our job to be able to ease any animal’s suffering. Even in large animal practice, we must make every effort to ensure that animals don’t suffer unduly.
If you have tried treatment options and they aren’t successful, don’t let any animal suffer in pain. Sometimes, particularly in cattle practice, economics comes into play where certain treatment options are unviable. Euthanasia, although a last resort, should be used in a timely fashion in order to avoid suffering. It is not a decision to be taken lightly and it is a very tough decision to make, both for you and your vet. Animals don’t display signs of pain like humans do and they can’t talk to us to tell@us how they feel. Euthanasia is an emotive topic, but I think it should be discussed so that we can objectively consider it to ease an animals suffering when all viable avenues have been exhausted.

🚨Veterinary Council of Ireland Elections 2023🚨

I am very proud to tell everyone that Niamh Hogan, one of “our” vets in Summerhill Vets, Nenagh, Co Tipperary, has put her name forward for election to the Vet Council.
Niamh is the most conscientious, hard working, and dedicated vets I know. She is the driving force behind all that is good and progressive in our practice. She would make a great representative on the council for practicing vets, young and old.

Every vet practicing in Ireland received their ballot papers to vote for 4 vets to be elected to the Vet Council.
Please mark an “X” on the box next to Niamh Hogan’s name. I think the profession will be the better for her voice on the Council 😊

“The man that made time made lots of it and the man that made twine made balls of it”. It’s a phrase I heard lately and it fitted perfectly the scene that I drove toward last week.

All-Ireland final weekend and everyone is talking about the hurling 🇳🇬•A beef heifer with “a sore jaw”. I presumed it was a tooth abscess or something similar until I opened her mouth.
A sliothar stuck nicely at the back of her teeth. 😂
You just never know what you’re going to find as a vet 😊

The saying ‘beauty is only skin-deep’ didn’t hold up on my farm recently. My mighty pedigree Angus herd of seven cows had been ticking over nicely.

I’ve been asked the same question by a lot of farmers when I’m in their yard: “How’s the spring going so far?” They are interested to know what the common ailments are and also, that they aren’t the only ones that vet has to call to.

Love is in the air, everywhere I look around. I’m sure that the majority of you have flowers, chocolates and a card already sorted for your better halves.

Summerhill Veterinary Clinic - Nenagh, County Tipperary , work-life balance comes first. One of their large animal vets is going part-time and rather than load the extra work onto their existing team they want to take on another vet.

They are a mixed practice with 5 vets dedicated to large animals (majority dairy) and 2 vets to companion animals. We have a staff of 3 office/admin and 2 registered veterinary nurses.

The role is a full-time one, but they are flexible for the right candidate. It is a large animal role, but an interest in companion animals is a bonus. Mentorship will be in ample supply - 3 vets have completed a cert in Dairy Herd Health and 2 vets are currently undertaking the same. They have regular clinical club and in house CPD.

Standard holidays apply and they take a "If it's not busy and you're not on call, you don't really need to be here" attitude. They have a young dynamic team with a positive & helpful working environment.

CPD is funded and encouraged. VDS is paid and they have a company pension plan.

Salary is negotiable based on qualities that can be brought to the role.
