Emergencies happen, so are you prepared for when they do? One of the most common emergencies I get calls about is a colicky horse. Here is a video that can teach you more about what to look for: http://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/when-react-signs-colic-horses

Look at what I got to see yesterday! I think Highland cattle are so adorable and sweet! They are native of Scotland and love the cold weather. If you’d like to learn more here’s a link: https://www.highlandcattleusa.org. #cattle #scotland #vet #veterinarian

Thank you so much to the Roanoke Valley Horseman’s Association for having me talk at their annual vet forum! I feel absolutely honored and blessed to have met and reunited with such wonderful people!

Has anyone ever seen this in their herd? It’s quite common to see, and while not a life or death emergency, it is very important to be fixed as quickly as possible. You see, this is a prolapsed vagina. This commonly happens in cows that are about to calve and have very little space left in their abdomen. If left alone, it could cause complications in birth and infection. Don’t confuse this with a prolapsed uterus, which is much bigger and had buttons in it. A prolapsed uterus is a life and death emergency and need to be seen immediately! Please call me at (540)315-3500 if you see something ain’t right! Be safe and stay warm!

Calving season is upon us! Remember that heifers need to be watched closely, and if there is no progress within 30 minutes after seeing feet or the bag, she may need help! And calves need to be watched to make sure that they drink colostrum. They should be up and drinking within 2 hours. Please call if you notice that something isn’t right: (540)513-3500. https://www.drovers.com/article/preparing-calving-0

Poor babies had cabin fever bad!! I’m so happy that we were able to get a good long walk in today before taking an even longer nap! 😆
