🐄 ORVC BEEF TIPS 🐄

Size Really Does Matter! When it comes to Udders at least- bigger is not necessarily better.

Extra large teats and large pendulous udders can cause trouble for calves. “Balloon” teats can be difficult if not impossible for a newborn calf to latch on to and nurse. This can lead to Failure of Passive Transfer (calf didn’t get or absorb adequate antibodies from colostrum) or even starvation. This can also spell trouble for the cow as this type of udder conformation can lead to greater contamination of the udder with dirt and manure and lead to mastitis. Mastitis can lead to swollen painful quarters which may appear to have plenty of milk in them but in actuality is inflammatory cells and bacteria (pus). Mastitis causes loss of milk production and lower weaning weights or even calf starvation. Sometimes the only way to determine if a cow has mastitis is to examine her udder (udder itself should feel soft) and strip some milk out looking for chunks, flakes, or strings of pus. Some of the most serious types of mastitis cause the milk to look clear like water with only a few flakes of pus. Cows that appear lame should always be checked for mastitis – mastitis can sometimes be the cause of the lameness or the result of a lame cow spending a lot of time laying down.

Udders should be evaluated within 24 hours of calving every year (udder conformation can deteriorate with age and wear and tear) with the goal of culling a cow with a poor udder before it becomes a problem. Bear in mind that a newborn calf nursing on only one or two quarters can affect the symmetry of the udder and skew your evaluation.

Foreign Body Hall of Fame – Vet Clinic Edition 🏥

If you’ve ever wondered “Would my pet really eat that?” the answer from the veterinary world is: Yes. Yes they would. 😅

Just recently, our patients have decided to sample some… creative cuisine, including:

• 🎾 A tennis ball (apparently a snack AND a toy)
• 🐊 Four doggy Crocs — yes, FOUR. A full footwear collection.
• 🌽 A corn cob (classic but dangerous)
• ⌚ Apple Watch bands (time flies when you’re… digesting?)
• 🎀 Hair ties (the unofficial national snack of dogs and cats everywhere)

While it can be funny in hindsight, foreign body ingestion is a serious medical emergency. These items can cause:
⚠️ Intestinal blockages
⚠️ Severe vomiting and dehydration
⚠️ Damage to the stomach or intestines
⚠️ Emergency surgery

Signs your pet may have eaten something they shouldn’t:
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Straining to p**p or no bowel movements
• Abdominal pain

💡 Prevention tips:
• Keep small chewable items (hair ties, socks, toys) out of reach
• Supervise pets with chew toys
• Never give dogs corn cobs or similar scraps

Remember: If it fits in their mouth, it’s apparently on the menu.

If you suspect your pet swallowed something unusual, call your vet right away. The sooner we intervene, the better the outcome for your furry vacuum 🐶

Cold front rolling through Osage County today and these calves are definitely feeling it. 🥶

When temperatures swing like this, those young ones need a little extra attention—dry bedding, wind protection, and making sure everyone is nursing well. A cold, wet calf can go downhill fast, so days like today mean lots of checking, watching, and a little extra TLC.

Farm life isn’t always pretty or convenient, but taking care of what depends on you is always worth it.

If you’re out caring for livestock today too, stay warm out there. ❄️

Help us welcome our new vet student Lindsey! She learned a lot about neonatal care for these two!

Today we welcomed Hank to the clinic.

He is very polite, very curious, and only tried to eat the paperwork once.

Just another normal day at the vet clinic! 😄
