CCN🐑

We’ve had a surge in cases recently so thought we’d do an update of what to look out for and how we can help.

CCN (cerebrocortical necrosis)/ PEM (polioencephalomalacia) is most commonly seen in weaned lambs between 4 and 8 months of age. Individual animals are affected after a dietary change or move to a new pasture.

Clinical signs:
• Blindness
• Isolated from group
• Star gazing
• Lying flat out
• Seizuring
• Death

Treatment includes high doses of intravenous thiamine (vitamin B ) and sheep should be able to stand again within 24 hours of treatment.

If you ever have any lambs showing similar signs, don’t delay! Give us a call as soon as possible for us to assess and start treatment for the best chance of full recovery!

Ram Vasectomy

Vasectomised rams are used to improve the performance of breeding ewes. They bring ewes cycling at the same time, therefore compacting the lambing period.

Vets Lucy and Emma performed a vasectomy recently so this ram can be used to tighten the lambing period next year.

Not sure who had a better time, farmer or ram!😋

Give us a call if you would like more info or would like to book in for a ram vasectomy☎️
