💙 A big Announcement 💙

Many of you will know our lovely Practice Manager, Lydia. We wanted to let everyone know that her last day with us will be 16th June.

Lydia has been a huge part of our practice journey, and we’ll be sharing a proper farewell closer to the time. For now, if you see her over the next week, please do stop and say goodbye!

On Tuesday Bella and Richard castrated some Kune Kune pigs 🐽

This procedure was carried out in our new purpose built lambing room! As you can see it’s not limited to just lambings 👀

This Receptionist Appreciation Week, we want to recognise our admin and reception team at Marches Farm Vets. 👩‍💻

They are the first point of contact for our clients, the people keeping the diary running, coordinating visits, handling calls, managing drug orders, and quietly holding everything together behind the scenes. Much of what they do goes unseen, but the practice simply would not function without them. 👏

Thank you for the organisation, patience, and consistency you bring every day 💚

🪱 NEMATODIRUS RISK 🪱

The Nematodirus hatch has arrived earlier than usual this year, we encourage you to consider whether your lambs need treating.
Treatment isn’t always necessary—here are a couple of things to check first:
✅ Are your lambs 6–12 weeks old?
✅ Are they grazing fields that held lambs last year?
If you’ve answered yes, take a look at the latest Nematodirus forecast: https://www.scops.org.uk/forecasts/nematodirus-forecast/

As we all know the weather has been unusual this year which has changed the hatching behaviour, so we are currently in a peak hatching zone. 🪱

For tailored advice to make the best decision for your flock, please contact the office to speak to one of our vets ☎️
