Meet Corrin, one of the friendly and skilled faces you’ll see out on the road with Carter Veterinary Services! Originally from southeastern Connecticut, Corrin made the Lowcountry her permanent home in 2021 after earning her Bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina, Beaufort. 🎓🌴

Corrin has been surrounded by small animals her whole life and has been riding and caring for horses since she turned 6. Her passion for animal care runs deep—and it shows in the compassion and dedication she brings to every appointment.

When she’s not working, you can find her in the saddle with her Friesian/Quarter Horse cross, Adalina, or enjoying time with her beloved pups. 🐴🐾

We’re lucky to have her on the team—and your animals are too!

Meet Gussie—the tiniest fighter with the biggest heart! 🐐💛

At just 2 days old, Gussie wasn’t keeping up with her siblings. Her owners were concerned something serious might be wrong—so they brought her in to see Dr. Grimes.

With triplets in the womb, we suspect Gussie’s leg trouble was caused by cramped quarters before birth. After taking radiographs to rule out any fractures, she was diagnosed with tendon laxity in one of her legs.

Thanks to a short-term splint, a dedicated owner, and a little at-home physical therapy, Gussie made a full recovery—and was walking happily just days later!

🐾 Watching her progress from wobbly to wild in just a week is exactly why we love what we do. Great job, Gussie!

Did anyone guess castration in our last post? If so—you're correct! 🐑

This little lamb recently underwent a routine castration, a common procedure that helps prevent unwanted breeding and reduces behavioral issues down the line. (If you’ve ever met an intact male goat, you definitely understand why this matters!)

🧠 Fun fact: Male goats should be at least 4 months old before castration to allow the urethra to fully dilate—minimizing risk of future complications. Lambs, however, can be castrated at a much younger age.

🐐 Quick health tip:

-Both sheep and goats should receive their first CDT vaccine at 6–8 weeks old, followed by a booster three weeks later.
-Sheep need an annual CDT booster.
-Goats should be boosted every 6 months.
-And don’t forget—rabies vaccines are recommended annually for both!
