Just another day in the neighborhood...

This calf was born to a heifer that wasn't quite sure what to do with him. That resulted in him becoming severely dehydrated and missing his essential first meal of colostrum.

Luckily this boy's family knew just who to call, after some IV fluids, antibiotics, colostrum replacer, and some blood testing he was standing, passed his meconium and is ready to face the world! Or at least try to nurse from momma

🚨 Salt Toxicity in Pigs🐖⚠️

Salt toxicity happens when pigs don't have constant access to clean, fresh water. Just 12–24 hours without water can lead to brain swelling, seizures, and even death.

🔍 What to watch for:

Nervous signs like aimless wandering, head pressing, tremors

Seizures or paddling

Sudden death in otherwise healthy pigs

💧 Prevention tips:

Never let pigs run out of water

Check for blocked ni***es or empty troughs

If water was off, reintroduce it slowly to avoid worsening symptoms

🐷 Salt is essential, but too much without water is deadly.

👩‍⚕️ Call your vet immediately if you suspect salt toxicity. Time matters.

Answer:
It's an imprint from a Nigerian goat testicle!

Neutering your goats can reduce aggressive behaviors, eliminate the urge to p*e on themselves, and allows them to have social interactions with herd mates without the risk of pregnancy.

(Finally) 🔊🔊Introducing our summer interns!🔊🔊

Future Dr. Von Holland came to visit us for 2 months from veterinary school in Ontario Canada. Katie is just beginning her 4th year of veterinary school and plans to work in small animal and exotic medicine after graduation. She has jumped right into everything and already gotten a few procedures done under supervision of Dr. Berr.

Alyssa Byars is a Clemson undergraduate student who plans to apply to veterinary school, she is most interested in mixed-animal medicine at this time. Alyssa has brought a great attitude and loads of comedic relief to the truck already!

Charleston Lane is another Clemson undergraduate student in her sophomore year, she is also interested in mixed-animal medicine and possibly owning her own practice someday. Charleston has already relayed many a good story while we drive around the upstate.

We have one other student who we didn't have a photo for; Maddie Hassler. Maddie has made a career in aviation. She is possibly interested in a second career in veterinary medicine but wants to be sure her passion and interests align with the career long term.

We are so pleased with our interns and look forward to the summer with them.

Did you know? 🤔

Not all veterinarians cover their own emergencies.

When establishing care or bringing home an animal it's important to ensure you have an emergency plan for them.

We cover emergencies until 10 pm each night for our current clients, but we are not able to extend that coverage to everyone

Trivia Tuesday Answer:

Bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma is more commonly referred to in the cattle industry as “cancer eye”. Squamous cell carcinoma is by far the most common tumor afflicting the bovine eye, as well as the most frequently diagnosed cancerous tumor in cattle.

We were, surprisingly, able to save the eye itself!
