What activities has Dr. Cilliers been involved in over the past three weeks? Thanks to Dunevax and the Western Cape Veterinary Department, he successfully initiated vaccinations for his consulting farms using the Dollvet vaccine. Foot-and-mouth disease can only be controlled through the use of FMD vaccines. Only cloven-hoofed animals are susceptible to infection by the virus. Dr. Cilliers conducts biosecurity audits, training, and vaccinations for all cattle on each farm he consults. SAVC - South African Veterinary Council Biofarm Cilliers Louw

UPDATE ON 'MAKE YOUR DIAGNOSIS' POST: This slightly overweight stray mother cat went into labour with two kittens. Sadly, we lost one of the babies, but we were able to save the other. The X-ray image shows that her stomach was completely full of food and water (yellow area), the red area is the pelvis, the blue the lungs, and the purple the belly fat.

Thanks to quick veterinary intervention, mom and her surviving kitten are now safe and recovering. 💙

Please remember to spay and neuter pets to prevent difficult situations like this.
