Not every day we put a post up about a cat, being a farm animal practice! But last week we had a very unexpected visitor, when this kitten hitchhiked a lift to our practice underneath one of staff, Llinos’, car! She lived in the carpark for 2 days before deciding to come into the practice for a lift back home, this time inside the car!! Since her travels, she is enjoying being safely back on the farm with her family! 🐈🚗

We were very proud watching Ffermio last night to see one of our directors, Cath, talking about her brother Richard that they tragically lost during Covid in an accident. She has compiled a book in his memory with articles he has written and photographs, with all profits going to charity. If you would like to purchase a copy, they are currently being sold in all branches. Da iawn Cath! A lovely way to keep his memory alive 📓🖊️

** There is a high risk of acorn poisoning this Autumn**
We have all noticed how full the trees are of fruit and nuts this year, however after the heavy rainfall over the last couple of weeks, there is now a HIGH risk of acorn poisoning due to the numbers that have fallen to the ground.
Acorn poisoning is the most common plant toxicity in the UK in cattle and sheep and occurs due to the tannins in the acorns (especially green acorns) causing kidney failure.
The clinical signs:-
-Sudden death (although poisoning generally occurs over a period days)
-Normal temperature in most cases
-Constipation initially, followed by black watery scour
-Depression and loss of appetite
-Straining to pass faeces and urine
Death normally occurs within a week of eating the acorns.
There is no treatment for acorn poisoning, so if you have oak trees on your premises, avoid grazing these fields or try fencing them off ☔️🌦️☀️🪾🍃🍂
