It’s this time surgery edition.

Take a gander at this before and after from an emergency gastrotomy and enterotomy surgery on a dog this weekend. Part of the foreign body was anchored in the stomach and the linear portion extended down into the jejunum causing what is called plication (think drawstring effect) of the jejunum. The pup is doing well and went home yesterday.

Tech tip Tuesday: Wilderness Edition

2 for one special: Learn how the Famacha scoring system works AND how to orally deworm your goats!

FAMACHA© scoring is a practical tool used to monitor anemia caused by parasites. It helps determine which animals need deworming instead of deworming the whole herd—reducing resistance to dewormers.

Category 1 (red) indicates no anemia, while category 5 (pale white) indicates severe anemia. The card assigns numeric scores to determine which animals to deworm.

Pale color = anemia, likely a higher worm burden.
More pink/red color = healthy.

Pale mucous membranes can be caused by other factors, not always parasites. Contact us for assistance with diagnosis and treatment protocols in your herd!
