Do you have or plan to get a bottle calf?
schistomus reflexus calf ultrasound
Exciting News for November! 🎉
We're offering a discount on pregnancy ultrasounds for cattle this month as we demo our new portable ultrasound unit!
Why choose ultrasound over just blood testing? Here are some compelling reasons:
🔍 Accurate Gestation Info: Get precise details about the age of the fetus.
❤️ Fetal Viability Assessment: Identify non-viable pregnancies early, like in the case of a schistomus reflexus calf (watch the video!). This allows us to intervene before it poses a risk to the dam.
👶 Determine Fetal Sex: Find out the sex of the calf between days 60 and 90 of gestation!
🔧 Fertility Diagnostics: Spot reproductive issues or abnormalities for better herd management.
Ultrasound provides peace of mind and proactive care for your cattle! 🐄 Book your appointment today: https://countrycreatures.vet/

🌟Trivia Tuesday Answer!
🩺 While this goat is not pregnant, her uterus does have fluid in it. An abnormal state, in this case top differentials is hydrometra or mucometra due to the echogenicity.
This goat was blood tested as pregnant prior to ultrasound; a great example why doing an ultrasound with a veterinarian is a better diagnostic tool for diagnosing pregnancies and reproductive problems in your herd.
🌟Trivia Tuesday!
🐐 We recently got this video while checking a goat for pregnancy. Can you guess what's going on? 🤔
Update on the premature calf
🌟 Trivia Tuesday Answer!
Vena Caval Thrombosis and Metastatic Pneumonia! This 18-month-old steer, adjusting to a high-grain diet, developed a bloody nose following its herd mate's sudden death. The condition likely arose from thrombosis in the vena cava, leading to metastatic pneumonia. Learn more about these non-infectious respiratory diseases in cattle: https://bit.ly/4cU2CbG

Can you guess the diagnosis?
This 18 month old steer was seen after recently starting a high grain diet. A herd mate was found dead a few weeks before without any changes of behavior prior to his death. Now this animal has a bloody nose.

Can you be a farm vet and be on time? 🤔
There's always a "hey doc while you're here..." Or an emergency to squeeze in; we do the best we can to stay on schedule but life doesn't always go according to plan when dealing with livestock!
