Posting for a client!
This pup was dumped and is needing to find a new home, she has some wounds on her back/side that are healing and being treated, but otherwise healthy.

6-8 months old, female 37 pounds (I don’t think she’ll get much bigger). A little timid but enjoyed being loved on, and I think would make a great pet.

Please message to let us know if interested, we are willing to spay and do vaccines/heartworm testing at a 15% discount to anyone that takes her home from this post!

She is currently safe and being cared for by the people that found her, they just can’t keep her longterm.

“Papillomas” or Cattle Warts (Vaccine Available)

-What is it?

Small firm nodules or large cauliflower-like growths that are grayish to black in color and rough and spiny to the touch. They can appear on the neck, face, back, and legs of cattle. Warts ordinarily cause little harm and usually disappear spontaneously in 6 to 18 months

-How is it spread?

Direct contact with infected animals, infection gaining entry through skin abrasions. It is a disease mostly of young animals.

-How to treat it?

They can be surgically removed, however, treatment is usually not required because most warts will eventually shrink and fall off on their own after a few months.

-Why Vaccinate?

In purebred cattle, warts may interfere with sales because of their unsightly appearance. In extreme cases cattle with extensive cutaneous wart lesions may lose condition and develop secondary bacterial infections. Warts on teats of dairy cows often cause interference with milking. Warts on the teats do show an increasing frequency with age.

-How to PREVENT warts? (That is the real question!)

The Wart Vaccine. That’s it. We have it. Each is a killed virus vaccine designed for use in healthy cattle to aid in the prevention of viral warts (papillomas). This vaccine can be administered to cattle as early as 4 to 6 weeks of age.. A vaccine that after given initially, needs administered again in 3-5 weeks for both adult cattle and calves.

Reach out and we can send over prices and answer any questions!

Dairy Cattle : Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

There are requirements being enforced that lactating dairy cattle going to exhibitions including, but not limited to, County and State Fairs must have a negative milk test for HPAI.

The milk samples must be taken by an accredited veterinarian and submitted to OADDL within seven (7) days of the cow moving to the exhibition.

A Certificate of Veterinary Inspection with the official ID of the cow and the negative HPAI test information must be completed within seven (7) days of the exhibition.

It’s very important to practice biosecurity at all times, but especially in times like this when we know the potential for exposure to a harmful microorganism is high.

Read below to get more informed on prevention!

This is your friendly reminder that if you are showing at the Interstate-Fair and Rodeo you need a HEALTH CERTIFICATE. I have to inspect animals within 10 days of writing it, so we need time to get you on the schedule if I haven’t seen them recently.

PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY OR SATURDAY BEFORE THE SHOW TO ASK FOR ONE.

Papers are good for 30 days, so get on our schedule now!

We are available for haul-in appointments on Mondays, mobile appointments Tuesday-Friday.

Edit: owner has been found! Thanks everyone!

I know someone needs this little pup!

A client contacted me about this 4-6 month old male intact puppy, was found roaming the countryside this week. No one has claimed, him despite being posted on facebook and local shelter.

Does well in crate, walks okay on a leash, very sweet with people. Gets along well with other dogs.

Send us a message, as facebook is not letting me tag them, and we’ll get you in contact!

01/03/2024

This is your reminder to not get caught sleeping on your need for a health certificate if you’re going to OYE! Please contact us now to get on the list so we can get it done for you.

Also if you have contacted us, we have a long list of health certs we are working on we are just a little behind and will hopefully get caught up soon, if we have asked for more information please get that to us ASAP!

Early intervention is key!

This counts for all species not just cattle.

We really appreciate if you have animals that you know their exact due dates specifically pigs, show heifers that are higher risk for problems giving birth just let us know, that way we can have you on our radar and get to help you as soon as possible.

Guys, it’s cold! This season means lots of emergencies.

We appreciate everyone’s patience with us this past couple weeks, we have had lots of major emergencies that we have had to reschedule regular appointments for - trust me, we HATE that but it’s just part of it.

If you have a life/death emergency we will do our best to get there ASAP IF we can reschedule our day, meaning there are some days we cannot reschedule (maybe that’s surgeries, a day of BSE’s, preg checking, animals have been trailered in and help hired for that day, etc).

That means the best we can do is be there when we finish what we have already scheduled, which we know is not always ideal but unfortunately Dr Hinkle can’t be in two places at once (and usually that means hours of driving to get to everyone in between).

We respond to emergencies in the order they come in, so if we already have had multiple calls in the day, we aren’t putting you off, just remember there are other clients with emergencies too.

As always thank you for your business, and be safe and warm in the coming weeks.

07/01/2024

Taking a client poll!

So many of you need appointments after 4pm, in order to try to get everyone in, if we stayed open until 7pm one day *for haul-in appointments only* would that help or would you be interested?

If so, let us know if there is a day of the week that would be best.

Happy New Year from Rafter H Vet!

We have officially moved into our clinic building, Brooke Thompson (who most of you have met this past year when she has been with me on appointments), will be in the clinic 4 days a week answering phone calls, and keeping up with the behind the scenes work (there is a lot!)

I promise this is a good thing - this means you will get faster and more thorough service although it will not always be me you are talking to. If you do need to talk to me, Brooke will pass on the info and I’ll get back to you between appointments. This really streamlines my ability to get to emergencies, or call backs that are urgent and Brooke can deal with the rest. My phone still rings every time a call comes in, and every time a text comes through so I will be responding as needed.

We are doing haul-in appointments at the clinic (both small and large animals) on Mondays so that I can fit everyone in, so those of you that don’t want to pay the call fee, this is for you! The rest of the week we will be on the road.

You will also be able to come by and pick up medicine or prescriptions during the day and not wait for me to get back at the end of my day to leave things out. You will need to text or call before dropping by as Brooke will be running errands/lunch, etc and occasionally be out of the office.

Thank you all for your business in 2023, here’s to a wonderful 2024, full of routine appointments, and healthy animals!

25/12/2023

Merry Christmas from all of us at Rafter H Vet!

We hope your animals small and large are spoiled as always and that you get to rest, relax, and enjoy family over the holidays.

As of November 10th we can draw blood for pseudorabies/brucellosis on show hogs - I recommend getting this done sooner rather than later so you have them for the entire season!

If you need castrations done, it’s a great time to do everything at once if we haven’t gotten those done yet as well.

Current schedule:
Ramona/Skiatook November 10th -we have some appointments available still, if you want to jump on that day.

Dewey Ag Barn 3:30pm Monday November 13th.

South Coffeyville Ag Barn Wednesday November 15th (don’t have an exact time yet thinking around 10:30am)

We have plent of 840 tags to put in if you don’t have them.

As always call/text 918-951-0383

Thank you!

While we are all melting in the heat, let’s think about cooler temperatures, which means Tulsa State Fair!

All animals need a CVI (health certificate) that can be completed 30 days before check in. This gives you the next month to get on the schedule!

MOST IMPORTANTLY if you are showing pigs they need pseudorabies/brucellosis tests on or after 5/15/2023, these take a few days to get back from the lab so please plan accordingly!

Also the cooler it gets the more booked up I will be with herd work this fall so please schedule ASAP so it’s not a last minute scramble.

EDIT - they have found a home! I have a list of next in line if something happens to fall through! And I’m sure I will have more available in the future!

2 elligable bachelors looking for a new home!

I really hate to not keep these guys but I can’t keep them all. They can be outdoor cats, I just want them to be taken care of and have a safe place to live, etc.

Cashew - super cuddly, always wants pets and very mischievous.
Almond - bright blue eyes that are hard to see in the pictures, serious and just wants to sleep in your lap, very loud purring.

They will be neutered and have age appropriate shots. They are free, but again I want them taken care of not just thrown out to fend for themselves! And can go to separate homes.

Found dog last night, on state line road just south of Caney. According to a neighbor she had been there all afternoon.
No microchip.

Let me know if anyone recognizes her, her ears do stand up she is just very wiggly and hard to get a good picture!

Hiring part time position!

I am thinking 2 full days a week, (on average we work about 10 hour days), that could easily become more especially during the busy seasons, and some Saturdays may be asked of you. I am open to a non-traditional schedule if we can work it out (like if you have kids that go to school/daycare, etc) and have to be picked up at certain times.

Pay depends on experience, veterinary experience is nice, but overall animal experience as well.

Need to be able to work long days on your feet, lift fairly heavy creatures, handle the sight of blood, and able to deal with the elements (hot/cold/rain/wind etc).

If you are interested, please send a resume to [email protected], you can also call 918-951-0383 if you would like more details.

This is an ultrasound we did today of a 33 day old fetus in a cow, “Dolly” who Dr. Hinkle bred by AI on December 15. The fetus measures approximately 1 cm currently and over the next 250ish days will be born at about 60-70 pounds. Congrats on Dolly being pregnant and we will check back in about a month and see if it is a male or a female! For reference: right (top) side of screen black “balloon” is her bladder, the center black “balloon” is the uterus with the fetus inside - look close when it zooms you can see a heartbeat. To the left is some pretty great intestinal movement as well. Since I can’t seem to figure out how to add 2 videos I’ll ad the second close up in the comments.

Dr. Hinkle will be out of town September 29th-October 3rd. If you are needing health papers for Tulsa State Fair, please get with us to get on our schedule prior to the 29th.

Happy, healthy babies are always our favorite thing to be apart of! Daisy’s owners noticed she was not progressing through labor properly, and figured that she needed some help. Once we sorted out the first baby who was plugging thing up, we pulled another... and another... and another! Daisy and her little (big) family are doing great!
