Intros for our growing audience!

Meet Dr. Jake Bunker 👋
Dr. Jacob Bunker is originally from the Town of Florida, NY. He earned his bachelor's degree in Animal Science from SUNY Cobleskill, where he was captain of the Men's Soccer Team. He went to veterinary school at Colorado State University. While there he managed beagles for research projects and worked in the Livestock Animal Hospital on cows, goats, sheep, pigs, and camelids.

His favorite veterinary interests are dairy production medicine and horse reproduction. When he's not working, he enjoys playing soccer, playing with his corgi, Moose (because of his big ears, check the out in pic 👂 ), and gardening.

Some timely reminders! 👋
A thermometer 🌡️ should be in your first aid kit. ⛑️ 🩹 If you’re nervous about viral / respiratory / neurologic outbreaks spreading, the first sign is always a fever / elevated re**al temperature! Familiarize yourself with your animals’ normals, so you can detect the first sign of anything going on!
Normal vital signs here:

Another reminder- if you haven’t already, make sure your animals are up to date on fall deworming 💩 Questions about which product to use and what dose / who needs it, ask your vet! We tailor deworming plans to your herd / flock.

What can we find on reproductive ultrasounds besides pregnancies? 🤔 Problems! 🚩
-pyometras (pus in uterus)
-cysts!
-abnormal ovarian structures / cyclicity

Check out this ultrasound of an ovarian cyst in a cow….. you’ll know it when you see it! 🎈 Identifying issues allows us to treat them efficiently and get everything back on track ✅

Some fall patients and fall dentals (Dr. Mary’s proud extraction)! Just missing an alpaca / llama in our collage, oh and a deer ❤️ 🦙 🦌

Reminder to get your health checks / fall physicals scheduled if you haven’t already! It’s a great time of year to check out patients before winter. ❄️

Make sure you have a veterinarian you use for routine care. A NON-EMERGENCY once or twice a year visit for your animals is important and necessary. Wellness exams, herd check, pregnancy checks, protocol discussion, nutrition consult, dental checks, f***l checks, vaccinations, drug cabinet management, first aid prevention check lists, facility upgrades / design strategy, help with problem solving 🔍……. If you don’t do a once or twice a year routine visit, your animals are not current on their routine care, and you may not be able to get a veterinarian out to your farm in case of emergency….. unless you’re extremely lucky! 🍀 Establish and maintain a VCPR (vet client patient relationship - necessary to approve prescriptions too!). If you’re not current (one year is a good guideline), this is a reminder to get on schedule!

Happy Halloween!
Dr. Sam and Dr. Mary took our haunted vet truck 🛻 🎃 👻 Trunk or Treating and had a blast! Some pink re**al sleeves were handed out / inflated for decoration 🐄 🧤 and we found large animal vet costumed kids too! ❤️

In honor of Halloween week, check out this terrifying pest.

The New World Screwworm- the fly buries its maggots into flesh of a living animal. These maggots eat live tissue- not dead necrotic debris like other less terrifying maggots…..

This fly is in South / Central America and making its way north…. Control measures are being taken to stop its spread! Read more here.

Even a human case if you want to scare your friends 👻

Fall migration increases risk and numbers of Avian Influenza cases! 🐦 😷 🦆🦠

If you feed wild birds, do not have the feeder anywhere near your poultry flock! Any commingling of wild birds and domestic poultry can greatly increase the risk of exposure. Think chickens hanging out under wild bird feeders to eat the leftovers and walk through poop….💩 Avoid the Risk!

More info and resources on our website! www.rvvs.co go to the Client Resources Tab

Reminders below 👇

Symptoms of Avian Influenza:

🦆 🐓 Poultry, Waterfowl, and other Domestic Pet Birds: dizziness, weakness, ruffled feathers, decreased egg production, swelling and purple discoloration of the face and legs, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, and rapid death of more than one bird - often times 80% or more of the whole flock! ☠️
🐈 🐈‍⬛ Cats: fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, conjunctivitis, difficult breathing, tremors, seizures, and incoordination.
🐄 🐂 Dairy Cattle: 🌡️ fever, decreased milk production, thickened colostrum-like milk, decreased feed consumption, diarrhea- in cows over 2nd lactation. Off, mastitis / indigestion seen in animals- not death.
🧍‍♂️ 🧍‍♀️ Humans: conjunctivitis 👁️ - do not touch your face prior to disinfecting yourself if you believe you have come in contact with an animal that may have HPAI!
