Georgina, Harriet and James had a brilliant day at the Bath and West Showground Field to Food Day, teaching children all about life as a farm vet!

With over 900 local schoolchildren in attendance, there was plenty for them to see, hear, smell and get stuck into as they learnt all about where their food comes from.

A big well done and thank you to the Bath & West team for organising another brilliant event, helping to educate the next generation about the importance of farming and food production! 👏🌾

A busy day for Marmaduke! 🦷✂️🦙

Vets Katie and Lewis had a busy day this week caring for Marmaduke, a llama who has recently been re-homed. Marmaduke was in need of a little TLC, so he underwent several procedures to help get him feeling his best:

• Dental care: His six fighting teeth were trimmed, and his molars were rasped to help address an issue with food packing.

• A fresh trim: He had his feet trimmed and his coat clipped to remove severe matting across his body, helping to improve his comfort and minimise skin conditions developing.

• Castration: Male llamas' fighting teeth continue to erupt under the influence of testosterone. Castration helps reduce testosterone levels and can help limit further development of these teeth.

Marmaduke was a wonderful patient throughout the day! We reckon he'll be feeling much more comfortable now he's had his overdue makeover.

Wishing Marmaduke all the best in his new home!

⚠️ Increased Risk of Blow Fly Strike 🪰

With the recent warm, wet weather we are seeing an increased number of cases of fly strike in sheep. Treatments applied at the start of summer may have worn off, leaving sheep vulnerable.

Signs to look out for:
- Irritation: Biting, kicking or stamping at their fleece.
- Restlessness: Separating from the flock or appearing agitated.
- Dirty or discoloured fleece: Especially around the back end.
- visible maggots or flies: Check the tail, rump and any wounds.
- Dullness or loss of appetite: Weakness or reluctance to move.

Prompt treatment is essential. Check sheep daily, review whether previous treatments are still effective, investigate worm burden and seek veterinary advice immediately if fly strike is suspected.

World Mental Health Day – 10th October 💚

Looking after the people behind our farms.

Farming can be incredibly rewarding, but we know it can also bring long hours, unpredictable challenges, financial pressures and feelings of isolation.

As farm vets, we see first-hand the dedication, hard work and passion that farmers put into caring for their animals every day. But it’s just as important to remember to look after yourselves too.

Sometimes a simple conversation can make a real difference. Whether it’s a chat over a cup of tea during a farm visit, checking in on a neighbour or reaching out when things feel difficult, a little support can go a long way.

If you are struggling there is always someone there to listen

We had a fantastic day at the Dairy Show yesterday! 🐄

Thank you to all our clients who took the time to come and visit us at our stand. It was great to catch up, have some great conversations and enjoy a slice of Georgina’a delicious rocky road!

Well done to everyone who took part in the showing and helped make the day such a brilliant celebration of the dairy industry.

See you again next year!!

🐄 A reminder to keep on top of fly treatment this October

Last week, vet Sam had removed an eye from a steer suffering from a severe case of New Forest Eye.

With the warm weather continuing, we are still seeing active fly populations, so it’s important to keep up with your fly control for a little longer this year.

Regular fly control can help reduce the risk of New Forest Eye and keep your cattle comfortable as we head further into autumn.
