Dunnydeer Veterinary Group

Dunnydeer Veterinary Group Personal care and advice for Farm Animals, Horses and Family Pets in Insch and surrounding areas.

We are a first opinion practice with 5 full time vets who share the on-call rota and 1 part-time vet. All of our vets cover all species, although some do have specific areas of expertise. We also have 3 nurses who provide a first class service for our clients and their pets as well as a nursing assistant. Our dedicated team strive to treat all pets with empathy and cater for their individual needs

. We are well equipped to deal with most cases and we have good support from specialists to whom we can refer complex cases. Our ambulatory farm animal and equine service is well established, we cover approximately 900 square miles of Aberdeenshire, although most of our clients are within 12 miles of our surgery. We run our own out-of-hours 24 hour service and can attend to most emergencies within an hour. We feel preventative medicine is of utmost importance and we like to be pro-active in this area. We have an experienced team who continually endeavour to develop their skills and understand that it is important to keep up to date with emerging diseases and control policies.

Bluetongue restrictions now in place!🦟🦟🦟

We have now entered the ‘high risk’ period for Bluetongue transmission and as Scotland remains free of the disease movement restrictions now apply and will remain in place until at least 9th September.
Almost all cattle and sheep movements into Scotland from any other part of the UK will now require either a pre-movement negative test or, for cattle only, to be fully vaccinated at least 21 days previously with the Bovalto-3 vaccine.

Remember these controls only reduce risk and do not eliminate the risk completely. As ever we would ask all our farmers to consider whether importing animals during the coming months is absolutely essential, or could the movement be delayed until cooler weather arrives.

Nematodirus hatch imminent!

The main spring Nematodirus hatch is likely to occur very soon across Aberdeenshire, putting lambs at risk or scour or sudden death.
Lambs aged 6-12 weeks old on pasture that had young lambs on it last spring are at greatest risk.

Lambing course success!
A huge thanks to everybody who made it along to our lambing course last weekend. We were delighted to have such a good turnout. We had some great questions, discussions and sharing of knowledge and practical tips from the group. The enthusiasm for livestock farming, learning and improving what we do was infectious.

🩸 🐱 EMERGENCY FELINE BLOOD DONOR NEEDED 🐱 🩸

We have a feline patient who may require a blood transfusion tomorrow. We are looking for registered clients with a cat who they would be willing to allow us to use them as a blood donor.

Your cat must meet these guidelines:

🩸 Fit and healthy
🩸 Between 1-9 years old
🩸 Weigh more than 4kg (but not overweight)
🩸 Up to date with vaccinations
🩸 Up to date with flea and tick treatment
🩸 Not on any medication
🩸 Have never travelled abroad
🩸 Have never had a blood transfusion
🩸 They can be an indoor or outdoor cat

Blood donor’s would be sedated for the procedure to reduce stress levels and to aid in a successful blood donation. We would also run an in house blood test to ensure they are a suitable candidate (all of this would be done at no cost to the owner of the donor).

If you think your cat may be a good candidate then please call us tomorrow morning after 8am to let us know.

Please share this post for us!

Thank you! 🙏🏻
