🐄 Vet Tech Week: Disbudding🐄

As part of our Vet Tech service, our team can support farmers with calf disbudding, helping to ensure the procedure is carried out safely, promptly and with animal welfare at the forefront.

Our disbudding service includes:

💉 Local anaesthetic administration
💊 Pain relief protocols
🐄 Safe restraint and handling
⏱️ Timely intervention
📝 Accurate recording

Disbudding is carried out using local anaesthetic and appropriate pain relief, helping to minimise pain and stress during and after the procedure.

Early disbudding also helps prevent the development of horns, reducing the need for dehorning later in life.

🌾 International Day of Rural Women 🌾

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible women who help keep our rural communities, farms and veterinary practices moving forward. 💚

International Day of Rural Women recognises the vital contribution women make to agriculture, food production, animal health and rural communities, while highlighting the barriers many women continue to face.

At Clyde Veterinary Group, we’re proud to work alongside so many brilliant women across the agricultural and veterinary industries. 🐄🐴

From the farmers caring for their livestock and managing their businesses, to our own female vets, veterinary technicians and receptionists, women play an essential role in supporting the health and welfare of animals and the wider rural community.

Whether they’re out on farms, caring for patients, supporting clients or keeping practices running behind the scenes, we’re incredibly proud of the women who make up our team and the women we work alongside every day. 👩🏼‍🌾👩🏻‍⚕️💚

Happy International Day of Rural Women! 🌾🐄

🚨 HOW TO SPOT A COUNTERFEIT NOTE 💷

We’ve recently received counterfeit money at one of our practices and wanted to make our clients aware of what to look out for when handling cash.

🔎 Here are a few things to check:
💷 Check the hologram: Tilt the note from side to side. On a genuine £20 note, the hologram should change between the value and the £ symbol.
🔍 Look for stickers or Sellotape: These could indicate that a note has been tampered with.
👀 Check the overall appearance: Look out for anything unusual or inconsistent with a genuine note.

We’re sharing this as a reminder to stay vigilant when handling cash.

Please share this post to help spread awareness! 💙

⚠️ We are seeing an increase in lungworm cases in cattle.

As we move through the grazing season, it’s important to understand the lungworm lifecycle and the risks it can pose to your herd.

🌱 Larvae on pasture
Lungworm larvae are passed out in dung and develop on pasture into infective larvae.

🐄 Cattle ingest larvae
As cattle graze, they can pick up infective larvae from the grass.

🫁 Larvae reach the lungs
After being ingested, the larvae migrate through the body and reach the lungs, where they develop into adult lungworms.

🥚 Eggs and larvae are coughed up and swallowed
Adult lungworms produce eggs, which are coughed up, swallowed and then passed out in the dung.

🌱 The cycle starts again
Larvae develop on pasture and can infect other cattle, allowing the cycle to continue.

⚠️ Why does this matter?

Lungworm can cause significant respiratory disease and coughing in cattle. Risk can vary throughout the grazing season and between groups of cattle.

Youngstock, first-season grazers and cattle with limited immunity can be particularly vulnerable.

If you are seeing coughing cattle or are concerned about lungworm in your herd, speak to your Clyde Farm vet. We can help you assess the risk on your farm and discuss appropriate prevention, monitoring and treatment strategies.

🐑 Liver fluke: keep an eye out this autumn

Liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) can cause serious disease in sheep and cattle, with wet conditions increasing the risk of infection.

The parasite thrives in wet, muddy areas where its snail host is found, and changing weather patterns can lead to earlier and more unpredictable fluke risk.

📍 Think your livestock could be at risk? Speak to one of our vets about monitoring, testing and treatment options for your farm.

📞 Get in touch with your local practice to discuss your fluke risk.

🐄 Bringing cattle indoors for winter? Don’t forget about pneumonia.

As cattle move indoors, changes in ventilation, stocking density, group dynamics and temperature can all increase the risk of respiratory disease.

Pneumonia is rarely caused by one thing alone. Infection, stress and the environment can all play a part.

So, is your shed ready for winter? 👀

💨 Good ventilation
🛏️ Dry, clean bedding
🌬️ Good air movement
🐄 Avoiding unnecessary mixing and overcrowding

Keep an eye out for condensation, ammonia smells, damp bedding, stale or dusty air and cattle crowding around openings.

In this month’s newsletter, we take a closer look at preventing pneumonia this winter, including how to assess ventilation and what to look out for when housing cattle.
