‼️ Bluetongue is a notifiable disease - impacting sheep, cows, goats and camelids ‼️

📞 If you suspect a case of Bluetongue, it is a legal requirement for you to report to DEFRA 03000 200 301

💉 There are vaccines available, however we are currently running a waiting list for when we get our next supply. Contact the practice now on 01934 852650 to get your name on the list!

We know this is a really difficult time for farmers both financially and emotionally - there is lots of support available, and it is important to reach out. We have highlighted just a few of the support services available - but there are lots more! Don’t forget - the kettle is always ready and we can normally find some biscuits or cake, so if you have any questions or just need a chat, pop into the practice!

Need to order your next batch of vaccines? 💉

We keep a stock of most common vaccines in our practice fridges so that you can order and collect them on the same day, but for large orders and seasonal or less common vaccines please ensure you order in plenty of time to ensure we can get hold of what you need when you need it.

We just need to know what vaccine and how many doses you require. We can also get you sorted with a vaccine gun or needles and syringes as needed.

If you'd like more information about vaccinating your animals give us a call or pop into the practice to speak to one of our vets!
